03/20/2012,12:21:57,jeremypotter,This is an update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. Today is the second day of EX-12-02 Leg II operations in the Gulf of Mexico. The local time aboard the ship is 0820 hours. We are preparing to launch the ROV for the first dive of the 2012 field season. Today’s dive will be along the edge of a relatively shallow rocky scarp near the Florida Escarpment.  Our current location is approximately 26.47N 84.78W. We expect to launch within the next 30 minutes. Thank you. 03/20/2012,12:28:17,kelleyelliott,Those folks wanting to view multiple video feeds on the same page can tune in at: http://video.discovervideo.com/accounts/innerspace/ 03/20/2012,12:33:39,kelleyelliott,How do the I2 feeds at WHOI look? 03/20/2012,12:33:56,santiagoherrera,I2 at WHOI is not working 03/20/2012,12:42:31,okeanosexplorer,This is Tim Shank on board the Okeanos Explorer.
