Now that we are underway, ship and shore-side personnel are quickly revising plans based on a shortened expedition. The required VSAT repairs cost us about 4 ROV dives. The Science Team is re-prioritizing potential dive locations based on a reduction of about 30% of the total number of expected dives.
