March 13th, 2011: REMUS Lost, REMUS Found, and other deployments

Lots of rain today.  The Hawaii group went out to do a remus run and look at bathymetry and water flow around the reef.  The CalPoly and Scripps group went out to deploy the pressure sensors that were retrieved yesterday and put out some wave sensors.  Most of the pressure sensors are deployed by snorkeling, but the Scripps group needed to scuba dive to put the wave sensors in so we followed them down to film and take pictures.  The whole day was beautiful.  We did get a little cold though because we were all wet the whole day from the rain and being in the water. 
On our way back we saw the Hawaii group and they told us that their vehicle was stuck on the bottom and they couldn’t find it when they dove for it.  The scripps group had a special underwater tracking device, so they went down and were able to find it.   It was a good way to end the day.
