Operating from the support vessel R/V Ka'imikai-o-Kanaloa, PIV works in tandem with Pisces V, has a specialized A-frame, can accommodate a three-person crew, and travels at a max speed of 2 knots. Because this submersible is mainly used to observe undersea volcanoes around the Hawaiian Islands, the personnel sphere is 7 foot in diameter and maintains 1 atmosphere of pressure of depths of at least 6,200 ft and has an emergency life support for three people to remain onboard for 5 days. With the ability to dive for long periods of time, PIV allows scientists to observe the deep sea through multiple view ports, video recordings from three permanent cameras, sample collecting using two manipulator arms, and environmental monitoring with specialized instruments. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/08D95C427FB128479945893256DADE37" xlink:title="NOAA/OAR/OER - Ocean Exploration and Research (POC)"/> </gmi:MI_Platform>
