UNCW-Undersea Vehicles Program

The R/V Point Sur made it back to the pier in the middle of the night and our teams will start demobilizing the vessel today. We conducted three ROV dives yesterday deploying science equipment in 400 meters and collecting some samples. There were not highlight photos, so I decided to post some nice weather photos from this leg, good looking shelf cloud coming in yesterday off Louisiana. As some of you know, the Mohawk ROV is transferring down to the University of Southern Mississippi this month and will no longer be working out of UNCW. I'm passing this page off to USM staff and they will be headed back offshore with the vehicle in August. I want to personally thank everyone for following along for all the years and hope to see you around.

Happy Aloha Friday from the R/V Point Sur. Yesterday the team conducted three ROV dives and they we're all focused on heavy sampling. We collected many items for different purposes and have already picked up over 100 samples in the last 6 days. Today we started heading back East to revisit where we were Wednesday to pick up more samples. Enjoy your Friday and wear your favorite Aloha shirt!
