07/18/2011,15:24:17,okeanosexplorer,Today's dive is to a site referred to as "2a".  A location of strong hydrothermal plume signal located during the first leg of this expedition.  We will be initially targetting a hydrothermally active area discovered yesterday that may have not been fully explored.  From there, the plan is to move to the east, east of the massive inactive sulfide towers located at the end of the dive yesterday.  We will then explore to the E - SE in the axial graben.

07/18/2011,15:29:07,okeanosexplorer,Greetings gang.  Good morning.  We have some significant occasional swells that we needed to check before diving, thus the 1-hour late start.

We are trying to keep any chat to a minimum while trying to increase the situation awareness to you back on shore.  As such, if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll answer to try to avoid xtalk.  I have asked the pilots and navigator to call depths and headings more, particularly at the beginning of our moves or repositions, so I hope this will help as well.
