In May 2007 I was lucky enough to be invited to be a scientist aboard NIWA's research vessel the RV Tangaroa, as part of the Oceans 20/20 program (TAN0707).

It was a brilliant experience, and I'm in debt to to the kind NIWA staff for allowing me to take part. In future updates to this site I hope to add more photos...
