"UFO" Knoll | SOI Divestream 690

Welcome to our cruise exploring the High Seas and Seamounts of The Nazca Ridge. Dive 690 is a full-depth test dive of ROV SuBastian, meant to check for and work out potential issues with the ROV before properly settling into our planned dive schedule for the cruise. For this test dive, we are visiting a submarine knoll with a distinctive disc shape and a summit close to ROV SuBastian's max depth of 4500m
