MBARI's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Ventana marked a major milestone in ocean exploration, completing its 4,500th dive for deep-sea science. Read more >> https://hubs.la/Q0280d8n0 In operation since 1988, Ventana logs an average of 150 dives every year. Its 4,500 dives represent a total of 17,659 hours in the water. No other ROV has such a storied history for science. In fact, the company believes Ventana’s 4,500 dives exceed the dive total of all other work-class scientific ROVs combined. A dexterous manipulator arm allows researchers to deploy a variety of underwater technologies, and when needed, marine operations crew can mount a second manipulator arm on the vehicle for more complex experiments. “My first dive with Ventana was 24 years ago, in 1999, and all the development projects I’ve participated in since have involved Ventana at some stage, even if the ultimate result yielded equipment somewhere far away on a different ROV or an autonomous vehicle. It was only when I sat down in the control room and started to take notes that I realized our first dive would have the nice round number of 4,500.” - Principal Engineer Dave Caress, Leader of MBARI’s Seafloor Mapping Lab and Chief Scientist for ROV Ventana’s record-setting dive.
