Monterey Bay ROV Dive Visualization

Fly the canyon

You can run a 3-dimensional model of the Monterey submarine canyon on your computer! Within the model is an actual dive track of MBARI's ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) Ventana.

Grab the controls and fly around to explore the canyon's topography. Try to find the dive location. (A hint: it's in the upper left of this image).
