Thetis pilot Kostas Katsaros smiles for a picture inside HOV's bathysphere as the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) SeaBED rendezvous a few meters away. The AUV SeaBED was deployed while Thetis surveyed the wreck site, marking the first time a human-occupied submersible and an AUV completed coordinated operations on the same site at the same time! Together, data from the Thetis and SeaBED dive missions will provide a detailed description of the wreck site and the dynamics of its environment.
