Smile...You're on AUV Camera!


Here is a small snippet of camera images captured from the nose cone
camera onboard the Hafmynd AUV while conducting operations at
Nukove. The AUV passed right over the top of where our divers were
operating pausing right above Dale and Ramon as they prepared for a
transect survey. The AUV sensed the curtain of air bubbles coming
from the divers regulators as the exhaled and stopped to avoid any
contact either with them or the reef. The AUV then continued on
taking some wonderful close up shots of the reef crest. So remember
next time you are off doing a dive...smile, there may be an AUV
watching you.
