Map Widget

Dive Details

Here you can find information about the currently selected expedition and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) dive. The Oceans 2.0 video archives hold video recordings from numerous expeditions and dives by many different ROVs.

Annotation List Widget

This widget lets you browse and filter annotations on the video. Use filtering to show only the annotations containing a certain word or created by a certain individual. You can also filter by additional options such as date, depth, temperature range, oxygen levels, etc.

After you choose filtering options, don't forget to click Apply Filters. You can remove filtering by clicking Clear Filter.
