We’re still transiting out towards the Challenger Plateau in the High Seas. En route we do our deepest test yet, taking the DropCam to 300 metres.
We see some beautiful deep sea creatures. We’re not in the main depth we want to operate in yet – but getting here feels exciting. After many days of trying to get the kit ready, it finally looks like getting down to a deeper seamount will be possible.
We’re greeted with dolphins off the bow as we head towards the edge of NZ waters!
And here they are in slow motion.
