DURING STUDENTS EXPEDITION ()
FIRST DAY
The first day is quite important for the oceanographic mission. The students are anxious and curious when they come into the center that will accommodate them for the duration of the mission, which is the Environmental Education Centre of Lavrion and after they settle down, they are ready for their first update. The presentations from the students and the material that the scientists used to introduce students to the PERSEUS project and the Andromeda activities can be found here....

THIRD DAY
Third day of ExpeditionThe next day is even more exciting because the team that went onboard the R/V Aegaeo describes their journey and their experience to the other group which remained at the HCMR. The children boarded the R/V Aegaeo and the Underwater Activities Team informed everyone about the day's activities and the deployment of the ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle).
Arrival at the first station, off the Anavyssos's coast, where the ROV takes its first dive for observation and recording of the litter on the seabed. The litter inventory is considered tentative and is in accordance with the instructions of the scientists. In the electronic laboratory, everyone can see all the information sent from the ROV, through screens displays connected to the ROV cameras, the sounder sonar and sub bottom profiler instruments.
At the second station, near the island of Patroklos, the ROV is submerged and a surprise awaits us. It is a shipwreck, a metal fishing vessel that sank 30 years ago! At this station the biodiversity is observed which is clearly greater with many small fish and many algae covering the ship ....
With even greater curiosity, now at the third station, also near the island of Patroklos, the seabed observation and recording of marine litter continues, with more experience this time! During this station another surprise awaits the young scientists. In pairs of two, the young scientists drove the ROV following the instructions given by the Underwater Activities Team! Driving the ROV went smoothly and each pupil was awarded a 'Rooky ROV pilot' diploma! Congratulations!
