We’re currently over the Antikythera shipwreck, with the underwater robot (AUV) making the first high resolution digital map of the area using multi-beam sonar.
Here’s the robot, minutes before diving to 15 metres above the bottom of the seabead to create a sonar map of the Antikythera shipwreck.
It will do various missions, next taking stereo photographs to create a detailed 3D model of the site.
