04/16/2014,11:41:59,kelleyelliott,Good morning, Everyone. This is a live update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The current time onboard is 0638 Central. The weather and sea state are looking good outside and we are planning to dive today. Today's dive is planned at site Keathley Canyon 2 (KC2). The dive is planned to start at 2202m in the ravine of the canyon. The ROV will be launched at 0830 (Central Daylight  Time) and we expect to arrive on the seafloor by 0945-1000.  We will host a  pre-dive briefing via conference call at 0845 CDT during the ROV descent  to discuss the dive and objectives. Join the call by dialing 1-866-617-5860, passcode 1233796 and tuning into the live feeds online: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/media/exstream/exstream_04.html  
04/16/2014,11:43:31,kelleyelliott,Our current location is 26d 34' 06.89' N, 93d 29' 58.7" W. The water depth onsite is 1925m.
04/16/2014,13:32:32,robertcarney,test
04/16/2014,13:45:16,Jamie Austin,Good morning folks.  Jamie Austin here.  We are in the water for Dive 4.  Approximate starting water depth will be 2000 m.  We will climb the lower inner wall of the east side of Keathley Canyon.  We will land in the thalweg (main channel) of the canyon.  Glad to have you all with us.
04/16/2014,13:53:03,okeanosexplorer,we are having trouble getting into the conference line. please bare with us
04/16/2014,13:53:31,okeanosexplorer,*bear with us
04/16/2014,13:54:29,Jamie Austin,Passing 450 m.
04/16/2014,13:57:15,okeanosexplorer,dive schedule was changed so we are in Keathey.  Main channel Thawledge, planning to climb the inner east wall. 
04/16/2014,13:58:03,okeanosexplorer,Keathley Canyon*
04/16/2014,13:59:49,okeanosexplorer,Bill: The target is to go to deepest part of the canyon. there may be a brine pool in the deepest part of the canyon.  then go up slope to toward the 1st terrace.  
04/16/2014,14:05:04,kelleyelliott,Note that the beach can hear you well through the audio embedded into the video
04/16/2014,14:05:27,kelleyelliott,And we can hear the beach well in the telecon - we'll test again using the VOIP line shortly
04/16/2014,14:08:55,Jamie Austin,Passing 920 m.
04/16/2014,14:09:42,okeanosexplorer,Bill: the Geology and the Biology are assocated and the Geo is driving the bio.  The fossilized seep communities is an example.  
04/16/2014,14:11:39,amandademopoulos,morning EX! would it be possible to switch the stream 3 view to the pilot's gui-so we can see rov/serios depth, etc
04/16/2014,14:12:37,okeanosexplorer,We are landing on the 1st red dot on the 3D view in the thalweg.  we will transect up the slope to the second point then continue across the flat area.  
04/16/2014,14:17:11,Jamie Austin,Passing 1200 m.
04/16/2014,14:17:38,amandademopoulos,sorry-i'm not able to hear anything thru I1 feed-thanks for the feed switch
04/16/2014,14:17:52,okeanosexplorer,When looking at the Fliedermaus display the landing point is the deepest western, red dot located in the base of the thalweg.  We will then be transecting to the east, up-slope
04/16/2014,14:18:07,amandademopoulos,now i can
04/16/2014,14:18:15,amandademopoulos,i can hear you now

04/16/2014,19:36:54,Brendan Roark,Scott could the white coral have been  a lophelia?
04/16/2014,19:36:58,Scott France ,There is a GoMex endemic species of Anthothela (A. tropicalis) known to at least 823 meters depth, so that white colony could have been Anthtela.
04/16/2014,19:37:49,Scott France ,Definitely not Lophelia; it was an octocoral.
04/16/2014,19:38:08,okeanosexplorer,definitly not Lophelia.  it had 8 tentacles
04/16/2014,19:38:10,Scott France ,Lophelia is a scleractinian. Different tentacle structure and number.
04/16/2014,19:38:37,Brendan Roark,OK just looked at depth as well.
04/16/2014,19:39:15,Scott France ,It had thin branches that curved as though it were somewhat soft, suggesting a scleraxonian, which is a subclass that includes the genera Anthothela and Corallium.
04/16/2014,19:39:30,Scott France ,Sorry, not subclas but suborder

04/16/2014,19:44:08,Brendan Roark,sorry I didn't count the tentacles, I've seen Corallium almost that white in the PAC at deeper depths (~900 m)
04/16/2014,19:45:04,Brendan Roark,not deeper than here, deeper relative to where you find corallium in the pacific normally
04/16/2014,19:45:14,Scott France ,So that spot had 1 Paramuricea, 1 CORO bamboo and 1 CORO sea pen
04/16/2014,19:46:01,Scott France ,Brian - there is a Swiftia pallida, but I don't think that bright white one was a Swiftia.
