Yellow "hard hats" encase glass floatation spheres that top the infrastructure on the Deep Profiler Morrings. These spheres were being installed from the fantail of the R/V Thompson as part of the Slope Base Mooring during Leg 2 of the NSF-OOI-UW Cabled Array VISIONS'15 crusie.

The top of the Deep Profiler mooring at the Slope Base site is marked by a large syntactic foam float. This was installed during Leg 2 of the NSF-OOI-UW Cabled Array VISIONS'15 expedition. Credit: NSF-OOI/UW/ISS; V15 - ROPOS Dive R1855.
