A record of pressure measured by a neutrally buoyant sediment trap during a three day-long deployment. The trap is passive for the first three hours after launch, and then begins to check and correct depth at hourly intervals. This instrument was targeted for 150 meters depth, and was slightly heavy as it was launched. At hour four it rose to the target depth by increasing its displacement slightly. It then remained within about 10 meters of its target depth until the end of its mission.
