Wind conditions put the ROV into shallower water than expected; the ROV headed upslope the carbonate wall to a depth of 163 m before moving back down the wall to the target depth. The shallower deployment gave us the chance to see organisms that live above the precious coral depth. We observed an impressive field of Calyptophora gorgonians with crinoids. The dive track substrate turned to sediment with rock outcrops about an hour into the dive. We observed many fish species, including feeding kahalas and large groupers.
