scientific diving – a value add
As my career has evolved, I’ve found myself involved in progressively more challenging environments to work in and under – part of this has been out of personal interest, and part has been out of necessity to take science forward [and deeper]. This pursuit brings out one critical and common thread which needs to be…
Read Moreand…we’re off! the deep reef awaits
There is no amount of preparation, mental or otherwise, that fully prepares you for an expedition. Big or small objectives, solo or a team – when the stakes are high, the stress is high. While I may not have shown it, my stomach has been in knots for weeks now. Being the leader of the…

Are we alone? The question of all questions, of all civilizations, and of all time. The fact that we have such high biological and chemical diversity here on Earth, would lead one to believe that there are no exacting replicates of us, or even of our biosphere out there on another planet or inhabitable moon,…

A recent AP release read on MSNBC goes on to describe ocean exploration at its finest moment – where 17,650 species have been discovered living below 656 feet, the point where sunlight ceases, according to a recent update on a 10-year census of marine life. Story can be found here. The process of biological discovery…

Long awaited… This powerful new tool from Google will forever change humans interaction with the ocean. This is the perfect way to scope out a prospective research site, a next vacation spot, or just brush up on all things beneath the sea. Truly amazing. We will be incorporating Google 5.0 into a number of special…

A gauge of our capacity to conduct routine scientific investigations – and further exploit and manage resources – at nearshore depths extending across the global continental shelf, is the ability to execute more expeditious missions to areas that have yet to be explored. As I tend to do, being biased as a career diver (eh…
