These 3- and 4-person submarines were used for detailed videophotographic work, close-up still photography, and sampling (push-cores, grabs, sediment cores, rock collection, organism collection, relocation experiments and placement of markers). A total of 59 dives with bottom times of two to six hours per dive were conducted from these platforms prior to the beginning of the present Study. Over 122 hours of video photography (primarily three-quarter inch format) were recorded. See also http://cyberneticzoo.com/underwater-robotics/1965-pisces-submersibles-canadian/ |
