Figure 1. The RopeCam dangles above the sea on its way to the bottom on October 6. The video camera in its waterproof housing points directly down at the bait, a whole king mackerel tied to lead weights. The yellow float above the camera rig will keep the camera aiming at the fish when it is lying on the sea floor. Image courtesy of 2007: Exploring the Inner Space of the Celebes Sea.
