HECATE STRAIT 2017
On our way to Hecate we stopped off near Malcom Island to conduct a test dive. The objective of this dive was to make sure ROPOS was functioning properly and handled our SIPs well, to train the ship crew for deploying and recovering the ROV, and to practice dive logging for those who haven't done it before. The dive went off without a hitch! Our team saw some sponges, sea cucumbers, anemones, and rock fish. Now we're on the second leg of our two day travel to Hecate Strait, and Chief Officer Ryan said we should arrive at 7:00AM.
