June 17th Deployments

The ICEX team went out to St. Elmos Bay for some early morning deployments. One of the goals for the deployments today was to get good video footage for the photometry reconstruction. Several of these missions yielded good results of the wreck.

Here is video of a fly by of the AUV as it goes over the wreck of the Moari. You can see the top of the Moari as well as a car located on the ocean floor.

Professor Clark was also able to dive down and collect video footage manually of certain parts of the wreck.

He was also able to capture footage of the AUV as it zoomed by him during his dive.

The ICEX team carefully getting the AUV in the water.

Today was also Professor Clark's last day in Malta for the duration of the trip as he will be heading back home tomorrow. We all went out for gelato and said our goodbyes. You will be missed Professor Clark.
