#HOVAlvin did something unique on the #GalapagosDeep2023 expedition (other than find a new deep-water coral reef, anyway). It crossed the Equator more than 2100m underwater. #NSFfunded @NSF @USNavyResearch

And in case you were wondering about science during the dive, yeah, there was that, too.

If you were thinking, "Gee, I wish there was video of that elf making the #HOVAlvin recovery," well, we got you covered. All business no matter what the getup. @NSF #NSFfunded @USNavyResearch @unols

New divers are the life blood of the deep-sea research community and the #HOVAlvin program. Congratulations to all. Where do you want to dive next? @NSF @USNavyResearch @unols #NSFfunded
Congratulations to 12 new Alvin divers on our #biofilms4larvae cruise, including three members of the Larval Lab: Vanessa, Tanika, and Wyatt!
Thank you for your hard work as aquanauts and a successful cruise!

#Throwback to the #1969 recovery of #HOVAlvin after 10 months at 5,000 ft. Besides these canned rations, apples and a bologna sandwich were found to still be edible–evidence that near-freezing temps & low O2 aids preservation. Go back in time with Alvin! bit.ly/3NPvKng

How's that saying go about "red sky at morning"? 🤢
Check out this update from the ongoing Escanaba Trough expedition with @oceanexplorer @WHOI @BOEM : ow.ly/Wgk650Jrt75
Critical to scientific operations aboard the Escanaba Trough expedition are submersible robots that allow researchers to observe seafloor features and collect data from depths seldom visited by humans: ow.ly/9LLJ50Jqs0x @oceanexplorer @BOEM @WHOI @rvthomasgthompson
Even though it’s built to work under ice, it’s also effective in the ice-free open ocean.
#NUI’s unique shape(s) allow it to excel at #oceanexploration. Learn more from @WHOI engineer Casey Machado.

Larvae from the #veligervoyage with @SymbiosisRox at hydrothermal vents in the Lau Basin! So many beautiful gastropod veligers on this snail cruise! Can you name all the other larval types?
Thanks to @WHOI’s #AUVSentry and #ROVJason for our larval collections.

14 dives later… the last Sentry dive is officially back on deck!!! 👏🏻
Shout out to our amazing Sentry team: Justin, Isaac, Rebecca, Joe, and Zac - you all are the best toucans we could’ve asked for 🐥 Thank you all for your hard work this trip!

This is what’s known as a captive audience. #NSFfunded @NSF

After 2 weeks of incredible deep sea work in the beautiful Gulf of California… both Jason and Sentry are on deck and we are steaming back to the US. #deepsubmergence #ndsf #rovjason #auvsentry #nsffunded @whoi
