                                        Early spring and later part of year, as this is a start-up cruise on which other cruises depend.. Also AUV operations require moderate seas for launch and recovery. Area of operations will be in SE GoM near Pulley Ridge. Early June is requested due to  wind and wave conditions in this time of year being favorable for our operations. |
