i heared rumors that history channel was using a new 3d uw-camera on this expedition. do u have any details about it?

Yes, there was a stereoscopic HD camera array that would be able to present the images in 3D. It was tethered with fiber optic cable, so it required extra work to deploy and tend. It also had 6 HID light arms on it. There is a pic of it in the slideshow.
We also had 400 watt HMIs that would have been awesome. Unfortunately, due to timing and mooring issues, we were not able to use some of the toys (e.g., ROV).
