I just happend to run across this, America's Nation Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are offering a live feed from their submersible ship Okeanas Explorer that is currently exploring in the Gulf of Mexico. They will be offering a live feed for the rest of this month. Currently they are exploring a couple of shipwrecks and the water at the moment I am writing this is extremely clear and visibility is awesome! Anyone with Internet access can follow the expedition on NOAA’s website, which will chronicle the expedition through live and archived videos, background science essays, still images, logs from the science team, curricula and educational modules.


You can read the full article on NOAA's web page HERE, and you can watch the video feed HERE!

Sorry for the sparse information in the article, I didn't have much time and wanted to at least get the info about the live feed out there. Some of the highlights from yesterday, in case you missed it.



The wrecks they were exploring are from the early 1800's, and are located about 175 miles off the coast of Galveston, Texas. I think they are planning on returning to the wrecks in a few days.

They found the ships chronometer, telescope and sextant and other navigational equipment. It's likely that these three ships were sank about the same time in a storm. However, that is an area that Jean Lafitte was very active in.

I also wanted to mention the other video link, they have two more cameras available HERE!
