Diver working with small cylindrical targets. A ground line is visible; they were used for target placement. Diver beginning burial of large cylindrical target. The diver is using a venturi dredge powered by a high pressure water stream. The sediment is sucked from beneath the target, allowing the target to settle in. One set of targets was buried to a depth of 30 cm below the mean sediment interface, and second set was buried flush with the mean interface. Live sand dollar moving along the bottom. Ripples are faintly visible. The two kinds of "clutter" targets that were deployed: a hollow concrete pipe and a sand filled scuba tank. A rock clutter target will also be included with the proud target set during SAX04. Todd Hefner (APL-UW) next to six small cylindrical targets supplied by Ray Lim (NSWC-PC). Some live clams were found in the sediment excavated during target burial. One of four 2000-lb clump anchors being deployed at the SAX04 site. There is a clump anchor at each corner of the 60 m by 60 m buried target field. Kevin Parkhurst, one of five APL-UW divers on the target burial effort. Diver readies to work at the target field.
