Schmidt Ocean's video: ROV SuBastian Dive 396 - Rodda Canyon Australia - FK200930

Join RV Falkor and ROV SuBastian for the fourth dive of the Northern Depths of the Great Barrier Reef expedition. Today we are exploring the side walls of Rodda Canyon in the northern Great Barrier Reef, seaward of Princess Charlotte Bay. A dive across the canyon axis will reveal the type of sediments on the canyon floor. We will use the high resolution cameras and robotic arm of ROV SuBastian to observe and collect samples of the geology and organisms from the canyon side walls. The dive will end at the crest of the ridgeline at the top of the canyon side wall. This ROV Dive is part of the second leg of our expedition to explore the Northern Depths of the Great Barrier Reef, led by Dr Robin Beaman from James Cook University, with a science team of national and international collaborators. https://schmidtocean.org/cruise/northern-depths-of-the-great-barrier-reef
