I suggest you send an email similar to the one below to the deepsea newsgroup (deepse= a@net.bio.net) and I will make sure that the message is forwarded to the list. This group includes more than one hundred scientists active in deep sea research. =20 Best wishes=2C =20 Ted -- Dr E.

Dr. D. Jones of Simon Fraser University was the lead scientist and the Canadian Navy tranported out there. We placed a sediment trap on the mount on the first trip and retrieved it on a second. I have a number of still slides and some 1` video taken on the second trip. I am not at all sure of the quality of the tape at this date but perhaps the Canadian Broadcating Corp may have an archive that has survived. We made a number of dives onto the mount with minimal in-water decompression, saw no sharks but MILLIONS of snapper. Ian
