National Park Service Diver Matt Russell watches the VideoRay enter a breezeway hatch down to the second deck, on the port side quarter. The clipboard has the diagram of the second deck of the Arizona. The diver tended the tether into the wreck but did not enter the wreck himself.


VideoRay delivering a dissolved oxygen probe, entering the portside beam of the USS Arizona. The probe was used to conduct a corrosion study in conjunction with the University of Nebraska. The probe took readings of oxygen inside the ship, which determines how quickly the interior is corroding.

In the flag officers quarters, the VideoRay examines the vanity. The 8-pound robot traveled through air ducting on the stern to reach the quarters.
