Betty - October 29

Betty continues north through the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, away from the shelf edge off Yucatan. She is currently in about 3,600 m water depth. Her most recent dive data, from before she left the shelf edge, show an increased frequency of dives to 100-400 m, staying down for up to 11 minutes or more.

Battery strength continues to be good, and she has sent about 1/3 the total number of expected transmissions for the battery life.
