BlueROV2 at Manly

We had a great time earlier this week, exploring with our BlueROV2 around the old Manly Aquarium at low tide. There was a lot of swell but also a lot of large fish, hiding in the shadows of the wharf.

Piglet Squid

Life is so AMAZING and scientists are still discovering such unusual creatures underwater:

Helicocranchia sp. spotted at ~1500m near Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific Remote Islands Monument

Giant Squid Spotted in US Waters

A juvenile giant squid was caught on video earlier this year at a depth of 759m, responding to a pulsing LED light experiment on a NOAA expedition. This elusive species was last seen on video in 2012 off Japan.
