05/28/2013,13:48:31,briankennedy,  The Okenaos Explorer is just finishing up a high resolution survey of Knauss Seamount in preparation for a deep water test dive later today. The target depth is 4100 meters.   
05/28/2013,16:05:30,briankennedy,  Today the Okeanos is conducting a deep water test dive of our new ROV at Knauss seamount. The initial dive target is in approximately 4100 meters of water and we should be on the bottom around 2:15 this afternoon. Once the deep water engineering trials have been completed the ROV will move up the seamount.

05/28/2013,19:02:47,briankennedy,  The ROV is on the bottom at 4100 meters conducting a deep water test dive at Knauss seamount. Once the deep water engineering trials have been completed the ROV will move up the seamount. The ROV is scheduled to be recovered at 1430 on Wednesday.

05/28/2013,20:33:52,briankennedy,ACN
05/28/2013,20:37:13,Dwight Coleman,It's definitely a basalt or gabbro - very dark color, didn't look like pillow basalts to me, but intrusive - like Hudson Rift Valley basalts - Triassic Age probably
