The Trident underwater drone from OpenROV lets anyone explore underwater without getting wet. These small, portable underwater drones can be piloted with a tablet or smartphone and are used to explore and document coastal habitats, lakes, and waterways by researchers, citizen scientists and students around the world.

Join Nautilus Live explorer and communications coordinator Samantha Wishnak and PortSide New York to explore the hull and dock near Mary Whalen–and drive the Trident drone yourself!  Feel free to tag OpenROV on Facebook, and Nautilus Live as well. Demos will be taking place on Friday from 4pm – 6pm at the Mary Whalen in Red Hook, right next to our ferry landing in Atlantic Basin.
