Marshall Swartz and engineer assistant Allison Heater deploy "CTD Cam," a rosette of instruments and a deep-sea camera linked to the ship via the sea cable that Swartz had adapted to function as part of an Ethernet system. In a two-day span during this cruise to the Gulf of California, Swartz's system delivered 15,000 high-quality images of seafloor features and organisms.
