The standard daily schedule of operations included mapping in the early morning, ROV dive operations from approximately 0730 to 1800 local, then mapping operations through the evening and into the following morning. ROV dive operations were based on EM 302 data obtained during Okeanos Explorer cruises EX1105, EX1106, EX1202 Leg 1, and the current cruise, EX 1202 Leg 2. Objectives of this cruise were to explore the Gulf of Mexico, specifically in the vicinity of the West Florida Shelf, DeSoto Canyon, Deepwater Horizon site, and Mississippi Canyon"--Report purpose.
