REPORT FROM 20 FEET DOWN ?WHOI scientist Rocky Geyer, left, confers with divers Pat Lohmann, center, and Jay Sisson, after they located the lost instrument tripod. It turned out that the tripod, which is about 2 feet high and houses about $30,000 in instruments, was nearly completely buried by a migrating sand wave. Jay and Pat excavated it by hand to expose enough of the frame to attach a cable and winch it aboard Tioga.
