Since Sentry had time for 1 bonus dive (dive 14), our on board science team got the chance to help plan it! Pictured is the team reviewing high res bathymetry and mission goals over the ping pong table map 😄 Shout out to our land sci team + Rob L Evans for this opportunity!

It’s our last day of SCIENCE!!! 😁👏🏻 What we have in store for today: our 14th Sentry recovery, 2 OBEM pickups and…animal costumes! 🦈🦀
