Throughout the second dive of the 2023 Shakedown + EXPRESS West Coast Exploration expedition, engineers with the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration tested the various tools and sensors on the remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). Here, they prepare to test the temperature probe on ROV Deep Discoverer. This sensor will come in handy if we encounter any hydrothermal vent sites during future dives!
