Positions and depths from the ship's automatic data recording system. The ROV-system sprint 103 was equipped with two video- and one 36mm still camera, lights, flash-lights, compass, and parallel lasers providing a scale in the images, a tether-management system (TMS), a winch, and the board units. All cameras used the same main lens and could be tilted. Videos were recorded in Betacam-format. Videos were uploaded for documentation reasons independently of partly low quality due to a ROV driving strategy responding to varying environmental conditions such as sunlight and turbidity. Photographs along the same ROV-transect are available at https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.320049. J. Gutt: mailto:[e-mail]
