Tempo-Mini at Grotto Hydrothermal Vent |

Barkley Pod 3 |

The Tempo-Mini camera (upper-left) is positioned on a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, 2186m below the sea surface and over 300km offshore from Vancouver Island at our Endeavour location. The other three cameras are located in Barkley Canyon at depths ranging from 871 - 981m.
When lights are turned on, you can watch live video from the cameras. But the video here is usually dark, because we limit lights-on time to prevent light pollution in this sensitive deep-sea ecosystem. For the lights-on schedule, see the calendar below.

Several deep-sea video cameras are controlled by scientists through the internet. When that's happening, you can watch via the camera control window page (login required).
