Data Dive

Step aboard R/V OceanXplorer and investigate a seamount using real expedition data and the tools of ocean science.

Deploy a CTD rosette and read the changing conditions through the water column. Use the evidence to choose where to explore, then send a remotely operated vehicle into waters beyond the reach of sunlight. Its spotlight reveals the seafloor as you search for marine life and examine what appears.

Some locations may hold unexpected discoveries. Others may reveal nothing at all. Data Dive places each decision in your hands, showing how scientists follow the evidence into an ocean still filled with unknowns.
