I created an aggregate page compiling multiple ROV camera feeds from the Deepwater Horizon site, which became very popular during the peak of the rescue operations, providing easy access to live underwater footage for a wide audience.
The original accompanying text:
The duration of operations at the BP oil spill site is unknown, but live feeds from underwater ROVs working there were available and collected on a single page (now disabled as operations have ended).
You can save the page and open the HTML file locally for convenient offline viewing. Resizing the browser window requires refreshing the page to adjust player sizes accordingly.

July 20: New feeds added

Interesting
thank you for compiling all the feeds into one page, but it looks like a total blackout for the last few days. The names of each ROV still appear, but no video is coming in for me, are they still working for you? Here is a page I have gathered a few important links on….

Feeds may blackout from time to time because of many reasons. The ships may be moving to another position for example. The feed URLs are valid so the images should be back online as soon as possible.
The feed page works best on Windows platform because of the the nature of the original feeds and the player used. The feeds are also available from BP so you can double check their status there if necessary.
Here’s more complete list of feeds and instructions to open them on a platform independent player.
Thanks for spreading the link to my multifeed page.
On “official” BP feeds page it says “Boa Deep C has left the MC252 operations area”.
Thanks for noticing. I’ve updated the feed page.
Hello again! Thank you for your site with all the ROV feeds on one page. I watch all the time from the Texas gulf coast.
Noticed today on the “official” BP page that they have added BOA SUB C after a question to Kent Wells. Found this exchange at the following website: http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6873#more

From Kent Wells Briefing yesterday!
Operator: Your next question comes from the line of (Trip Hannah), The Oil Drum IRC.
(Trip Hannah): Hi, Kent. We’ve sorely missed you. My question had to do with the ROV feeds. And, I’m just curious about the BOA subsea ROVs and just wanted to point out that those feeds have never been released, and I was just curious if there’s a way we could get those released to the American public.
Kent Wells: Yes. I’m certainly not aware that we have not been making all our ROV feeds available; at least certainly any that are doing any sort of work. But, let me – I’m not looking at the ROV feeds right now, so, once again, let me take a look at that, and we’ll make sure that there’s full transparency on any ROV work that’s going on. But, appreciate there’s not a lot going on right now with the ROVs.
