Streaming live from underwater Batemans Bay

We were just running a quick test of sharing live video from a BlueROV2 in Batemans Bay (yes, underwater!) via Zoom. We saw some incredible sponges, coral fans, ascidians, and a nudibrach which we don’t catch site of too often:

And then our ROV pilot spotted this amazing Southern Knight seahorse, clinging to a sea tulip – WOW

BlueROV2 at Barangaroo

We had a great time underwater with a BlueROV2 at Barangaroo (Sydney) yesterday, finding very little rubbish (a baseball hat and a tyre) but spotted quite a number of very delicate “white plants”.

Live-streaming from BlueROV2

We were so incredibly excited to send video LIVE from a BlueROV2 underwater in Sydney (Pittwater and Manly) to Sydney’s Westmead Hospital and The Queensland’s Children’s Hospital Starlight Express Rooms for the Starlight Children’s Foundation Australia. It was AWESOME to bring such a unique and exciting collaborative experience to children who couldn’t otherwise go snorkel or explore themselves.

Huge thanks to Andy Bell for both organizing our connection to the Starlight Express Rooms and piloting the BlueROV2 in Manly!
