If you're looking for the #OkeanosExplorer dive on USS Yorktown, this page has you covered! Not just for this dive, but most of them, so if you need to go back and look at stuff, it's a great resource.

I have to imagine they've gotten a few in the scoops & other samples. Those guys are like velcro all over everything

For sure, no problem. Thanks! I have been trying to find a way to convince someone to let me come on an expedition, but sadly a BA in an unrelated field and a decade of doing this divestream stuff doesn't qualify

Me too! I finally found someone else who was there! 🥳 It isn't too often I bring up old dive stuff and someone other than the scientists on board at the time remember it

Yep, I love that. Shallow jellies aren't my jam, so I'm just guessing here: Cyanea capillata? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 855 #taleof2canyons #MarineLife

I can't prove it, but I'd put money on that being the ass-end of a Genypterus blacodes. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 855 #taleof2canyons #MarineLife

This rock is a great example of what happens to hard substrate in the deep sea: lots of critters need it to get up off the seafloor in order to live. Sea star & a nice snail

Those looks like the kind of brittle stars that like to catch squids! If you haven't seen that video I will put it 👇
