We (Eric and Paul) dove on the cameras today to do a much needed cleaning. The SPC2 strobe port was highly fouled again resulting in a bright background in the images. To mitigate this, we added a black shroud around the sun facing side of the SPC2 ports to block direct sunlight from hitting the up looking port. We hypothesize that this was the primary cause of the rapid bio fouling on that port.
