WHOI technicians Casey Machado and Bob McCabe prepare Nereus for deployment with its tool sled during a test cruise off Hawaii in November 2007. Use of the tool sled allows gathering samples or doing work in very deep water. McCabe (right) is adjusting a video camera that allows shipboard operators to view the vehicle's work area while it is on the seafloor, while Machado plugs in some connectors.
