Much like Professor Inkling prefers to join the Octonauts’ adventures from the safety of the Octopod library, most of the scientists participating in expeditions from NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer aren’t on the ship, but rather remain on shore. These on-shore scientists chat with the team on the ship via an instant messaging system and conference line. A headset like the one Captain Barnacles is wearing here is perfect for chatting with the shoreside team and for talking about what we’re seeing on the live video of dives conducted during the third Voyage to the Ridge 2022 expedition!
