Read MoreThe J.F. White Contracting Company invites Lombardi to participate in the first training program on the Nuytco Research Ltd. Exosuit ADS in North Vancouver, Canada. This is the start of a new relationship with J.F. White. Lombardi and O’Brien become the first Exosuit pilots representing the science community.
Read MoreLombardi invited to speak at National Geographic Society’s 2013 Explorers Symposium. His forward presentation of the unique path to make diving a priority vehicle with high intellectual merit as its own field of study stirs controversy among science colleagues.
Read MoreThose of us who work and play out there on the edge – be it physically or intellectually – fully appreciate the challenge in self-motivation. There is often no ‘competiton’ per se to drive us along. Our mission comes from within, and we must do all we can to challenge ourselves and make progress. When…
Read MoreI received an e-invite a few days ago to participate in an online event that suggested participants will be “exploring the ocean without leaving the shore“. Of course this peaked my interests, so I followed some web links around and arrived at the statement, “Just imagine Neil Armstrong never leaving his desk in Houston yet…
Read MoreThis is a special series on a ‘New Life’ by National Geographic Explorer Michael Lombardi as he chronicles his journey through ‘Depth, Time, & Space‘ using the new Exosuit Atmospheric Diving System (ADS).

It was a compelling idea. My interests in ocean exploration have always leaned heavily on improving human intervention – advanced diving…
Read MoreCelebrating ‘Columbus Day’ always resonates with me for several days pre and post this impactful day in history – marking Christopher Columbus’ landfall in the Americas in 1492. Specifically, he set foot in the Bahamas – the island chain to the south and east of the US State of Florida, and perhaps not so coincidentally –…
Read MoreI recently returned from the field, working in a remote stretch of the Exumas, Bahamas – where I consider my home away from home. The objective? Deploy an experimental undersea habitat that, if successful, would provide for unsurpassed wet diving access to the lower limits of mesophotic coral ecosystems. As it happens, the deployment went off…
Read MoreThe invasive lionfish – a huge threat to tropical Atlantic and Caribbean reefs. I was in the Bahamas back in 2005 when one of the first two juveniles was captured in the country. Today, they are everywhere, putting predatory pressures on small herbivorous reef fishes that keep the algae under control on coral reefs. In…
