During NA006 in the Eastern Aegean & Antalya Basin, the team discovered and explored four ancient shipwrecks — Marmaris C, Marmaris D, Knidos I, and Knidos J. Objectives of the expedition included: surveying deep waters of the Antalya Basin and testing side-scan sonar on ROV Argus to document the geological landscape of the region, documenting archaeological sites using Hercules/Argus, testing capabilities of the 2200 kHz multibeam sonar, stereo cameras, structured light imaging, a scanning pencil-beam sonar and a sub-bottom profiler.
