April - sensors cleaning


[From an email from Diana Beltran, April 25, 2013 2:19 PM EDT]

Today Thursday April 25/13, I made sensors cleaning station. We started at 11:00 am, depth sensor has a broken part, as a small bite. The sensors were all covered with filamentous algae and some white calcareous algae. The chains and the central column were partially covered with Bivalves, sponges, filamentous algae, some corals, etc.
