Fascinating. I'm watching just now, and the Hercules seems to be running a "mowing the lawn" pattern, taking a photo every few seconds.
Ooh, lots of tube sponges (I think) sticking everywhere, a few bits of coral, lots of little floaters, and I think now we're looking at an edge of the flight deck, I see lines of safety nets. Or maybe it's the flight deck elevator — I can just see some more structure at the far side of this gaping chasm.
<snrk> And a little black beastie looking something like a water flea just skittered over the camera lens.
Hold on, that net might be a snagged fishing net, I can see a line of spherical floats along what looks like an edge.
Thanks for the link, I'll definitely be back later for another look.

Have they already dropped by Iron Bottom Sound?
