#DY159 has spent 48 hours around the Young & Grattan seamounts @AscensionMPA 🌊 We collected video data of the seabed and unique deep-sea species for research 🐟 We also saw an amazing range of pelagic biodiversity using #BRUVS! 🦈 #GlobalOceanWildlifeAnalysisNetwork

Not what we expected when recovering our Noise lander!! however Steve (Bosun), Grant (AB) and myself carried out a dynamic risk assessment & toolbox talk, and landed everything safely on deck. A job well done, and one I will never forget! #DY159 #Anchor #neveradulldayatsea
An unexpected find on the final day of #DY159...⚓️ ⬇️ @sthelenampa
