During the fifth dive of the expedition, on an unnamed seamount at a depth of ~2,600 meters, scientists believe that they found the bottom of the area's dense coral and sponge community depth range. While the animals seen on the dive were spread out, from a variety of corals to fish and crinoids, scientists encountered a lot of diversity during the dive.
