Video feeds from the Okeanos Explorer as it investigates the deep waters of the northern Gulf  of Mexico. The video feeds change  during the day (or night) depending on the operation.

When a  dive is underway, Stream 1 will be  the LIVE view from the Little Hercules remotely  operated vehicle (ROV) and Stream 2 will be the LIVE view from the the Seirios Camera Sled (showing the Little  Hercules ROV). Stream 3 will  typically show sonar displays,  navigation displays, and mapping data collection displays.

During  ROV launch and recovery, you may see live footage from the Port and/or  Starboard HD Robo cameras. At other times, when the ROV is not being deployed/recovered  or is not in the water, you may see people working in the shipboard mission control room,  pre-recorded dive footage, and other panoramic views such as sunsets.

The dive schedule is pretty consistent – the ROV  is launched and in the water each day around 8:00 am EDT and brought back to  the surface around 5:00 pm EDT. Depending on the depth of the dive, it can take  anywhere from 45 minutes to more than three hours to get to the bottom (or  surface), so sometimes all you will see is blue water when you first click the  videos. If so, either it is early morning and the Little Herc is descending to bottom or it is afternoon and the ROV  is ascending. Mapping operations occur when the ROV is not in the water and you  can watch the seafloor being mapped in real time.

Tune in often to catch all the action aboard  America’s Ship for Ocean Exploration!
