Seventeen piston cores were successfully recovered in the Mascarene Basin, Amirante Trench and Somali Basin regions. Single channel continuous seismic profiles were made on 2920 km ship's track in the Somali Basin. Echo soundings, total geomagnetic field and gravity field data were collected throughout the entire leg. The R/V ATLANTIS II arrived in Mombasa, Kenya, on 6 May 1976.
