04/23/2014,00:38:27,stephaniefarrington,  Update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. We are currently conducting overnight mapping operations as we transit to NW Gulf Deep where Dive 11 of the expedition will be conducted tomorrow morning. The dive is expected to start at about 2935 m deep and will transit up slope to look for the presents of corals.  Weather permitting, the ROV will be launched at 0830 (Central Daylight Time) and we expect to arrive on the seafloor around 1000.  We will host a pre-dive briefing via conference call at 0930 CDT during the ROV descent to discuss the dive and objectives. Join us by dialing 1-866-617-5860, passcode: 1233796 and tuning into the video online at: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/media/exstream/exstream_04.html 
04/23/2014,Note that a high resolution version of the main ROV camera feed will be made available to contributing scientists during the ROV dives here: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/media/exstream/exstream-full-res.html  
04/23/2014,12:27:01,briankinlan,Good morning!  It's also worth noting that this is an exploration dive at and below the deepest known depth limits of non-Pennatulacean octocorals and black corals in the gulf of mexico. It is quite possible that we will not see any corals, though if we do it will be very exciting as it will greatly increase our knowledge about these seldom explored deep depths. We will learn as much from not seeing corals as from seeing them.  Nonetheless, we will certainly see some interesting biology and geology along the way, and the geology in particular will help us formulate hypotheses as to what factors could drive coral distribution (or lack thereof) in the area.  It is important that the public and the science team understand that seeing corals is not the only objective here. When we discussed this dive on the science call last night, we agreed that given the capabilities of the Okeanos Explorer ROV system, it was the best use of resources to dive to explore the deepest, least known reaches of the area, despite lower likelihoods of seeing corals.  
04/23/2014,13:46:49,kelleyelliott,Very nicely said, Brian. Thank you! Good science discussion about what is seen one way or ther, and highlighting what little is known at these depths is important for the public. We are in America's "back yard" in the Gulf of Mexico, where decades of exploration has been conducted by industry, etc. and yet we are still conducting basic exploration in some of these areas.
04/23/2014,14:07:31,Jamie Austin,Brian, Jamie Austin here.  I want to add my thanks to Kelley's for your statement.  You perspective exactly coincides with mine.  I VERY MUCH appreciate your comments.  To me, ocean exploration dives are exactly that - adding to what is known along the edges of the unknown.  While our stakeholders are critical to the program's success, the public thirsts for the quest to the little to unknown reaches on innrer space.  I firmly believe that THAT is ultimately what will keep ocean exploration and research going in the long run.  Bravo to all of you out there for listening to us, watching with us, and helping us make this program all that it can be.
04/23/2014,14:10:48,Jamie Austin,Welcome everyone.  Jamie Austin here.  Our vehices are in the water at a depth of approx. 1000 m, en route to a water depth in excess of 2,800 m.  We should be on the seafloor around 1000 AM CDT.  We will host our pre-dive call at 0930 CDT.  Stay tuned.
04/23/2014,14:11:09,okeanosexplorer,  Good morning! Update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer: Our current location is 25.85205504; -91.46814793 1050 m. We are currently on station and have deployed the ROV for Dive 11 of the Expedition. Today’s dive will be conducted NW Gulf Deep Near Border version 2 starting at 2868 m and will transecting up the Sigsbee Escarpment. The goal of today’s dive is to look for deep sea corals. The ROV should arrive on bottom at approximately 1000 Central to start the dive. We will have our dive briefing via telecon at 0930.

04/23/2014,21:05:46,okeanosexplorer,Update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. We are currently conducting overnight mapping operations as we transit to WR0325 where Dive 12 of the expedition will be conducted tomorrow morning. The dive is expected to start at about 1900 m deep and will investigate a suspected shipwreck.  Weather permitting, the ROV will be launched at 0830 (Central Daylight Time) and we expect to arrive on the seafloor around 0945.  We will host a pre-dive briefing via conference call at 0900 CDT during the ROV descent to discuss the dive and objectives. Join us by dialing 1-866-617-5860, passcode: 1233796 and tuning into the video online at: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/media/exstream/exstream_04.html 
04/23/2014,Note that a high resolution version of the main ROV camera feed will be made available to contributing scientists during the ROV dives here: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/media/exstream/exstream-full-res.html
