After a few days in port following completion of the second cruise leg, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer departed Pascagoula, MS, and headed south towards the Biloxi Dome where the first remotely operated vehicle dive of the cruise is expected. The first day of the cruise was spent preparing to get underway, conducting safety drills, and familiarizing new personnel with policies and procedures.
