On June 11 and 12, we dove in 215 feet of water off the Bermuda Bank outside of North Rock. We were targeting a feature that had been identified on side scan sonar and ROV investigations. We completed mapping surveys, biological sampling and geological sampling during two dives from Pourqoui Pa, Triangle Diving dive boat captained by Graham Maddocks. Our dives will help scientists unravel the history of climate change and sea level variations in addition to the unique life found in deep water cave environments.
Cave divers Marc Laukien, Brian Kakuk and Jill Heinerth on a recent expedition to the Acklins. They discovered a dozen new caves and laid over 8000 feet of line during this beautiful exploration project.
