Highlights: 00:46:49 Extensive reef of pink & white Lophelia 00:58:23 Crab - Paromola cuvieri 01:20:45 Sailfin rough shark on Lophelia reef

A steep muddy incline with small cobbles. Scattered Lophelia pertusa reefs become more dense, with up to 50% living. Coral gardens with Stichopathes cf. graviere, Leiopathes sp. and Ceriantharia sp. were observed. Towards the end of the dive the coral reef becomes less common and the echinoid Cidaris cidaris occurs.

START VIDEO [00:00:00]/03:32. ROV stops for sampling two pushcores. [00:15:00] Mud cloud. Steep muddy slope with scattered small cobbles. Cf. Psolus sp. OTU1049. [00:18:00] Mud/gravel/coral gravel/scattered cobbles. [00:25:00] Marine snow. Scattered Lophelia pertusa reefs (50% living, 50% dead). [00:28:00] L. pertusa reefs become dense. Stichopathes cf gravieri OTU198, Leiopathes sp. OTU305 and Ceriantharia OTU1069. [00:48:00] ROV reaches the top of the hill and then soon after descends the hill where coral reefs extend further (both living and dead). [00:52:00] ROV’s camera tilts to water column. [00:53:00] Back to the sea floor vision where coral gardens persist. [00:58:00] Now coral reef is scattered. ROV goes down slope where sediments include mud/coral gravel. [01:03:00] [5] ROV goes up on mud/pebbles/cobbles on steep hill. Cidaris cidaris OTU211. [01:08:00] Mud/gravel/cobbles. [01:11:00] Now ROV going up hill. Sediments include coral gravel/mud. [01:12:00] L. pertusa (living/dead) reef is dense and at least 1 m tall. [01:31:00] Mud cloud. ROV stops for sampling L. pertusa coral. END VIDEO [01:37:49]/05:10.
