Comments: As diving is not possible at the moment, cleaning was conducted on snorkel. Because of this we were unable to clean the PAM fluorometer monitoring heads in the usual manner. Instead the acrylic lenses were wiped clean in-situ, rather than removing the entire casing. The SAMI pCO2 is yet to be replaced after removal.
