Full Validation and Clean 21/Mar/2012

Yesterday 4 divers completed a full validation and clean. The station had low to moderate biofouling. A couple of patches of fire coral were noted as we have not had any on the station over the winter, we removed all that we could find, lets see if we have more as the water temperature increases. The Gt Sensor was installed at 8:15am and removed at 1:05pm, we commenced cleaning of the instruments at 11:20 and completed the rest of the station over the next 90 minutes. We also removed the 4 temperature leveloggers form the station and are returning them to Miami for calibration, they have been on the station for over a year. Everything else on the station looked normal.
