Oceanographic Images and supporting data collected during the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Quicksands Archaeological Survey 2021 Expedition on M/V Makai in the Gulf of Mexico from 2021-06-14 to 2021-06-27

This dataset contains oceanographic images and videos obtained with Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DPVs) equipped with multiple Canon DSLR cameras. Project archaeologists and biologists also conducted SCUBA diving visual and photographic surveys of target locations to ascertain the characteristics of the located targets. The main goals of this expedition were to document located archaeological sites with digital underwater imaging techniques for archaeological and biological assessment, and to provide opportunities for University of Miami underwater archaeology students to participate in a remote sensing field project and gain experience in data processing and interpretation.
