'Falling' in at Ft. Wetherill
Having more completely off-gassed from the three week #Antikythera #exosuitproject in Greece, I felt I had a much needed obligation to realign myself with a quick dive here at home. With kids in the mix, that means a constant shuffle to do anything much ‘fun’ for yourself, so I made a very early start (everyone…
Read MoreHome sweet home | #exosuitproject returns from #antikythera
Wow, what a stretch – despite Greece being a new work locale for me, the start of the ‘Return to Antikythera‘ expedition set in as old hat. As these things go, challenges are defined, solutions are identified, and then it comes down to putting together all the pieces with a degree of flexibility to meet…

https://youtu.be/_7EdRsHMmGk In October 2014, we participated in a voyage to the remote Greek island of Antikythera, to partake in what would be the first archeological deployment of the Nuytco Research Ltd. Exosuit Atmospheric Diving System. Despite blessing by the Greek Orthodox Church prior to departure, the projet was severely hampered by foul weather, leaving only…

In just a couple of short weeks, we’re off on the Return to Antikythera Expedition. This year’s project has been in development for over a year, and builds on work dating to the very early 20th century when the Bronze age wreck site was first discovered by Greek sponge divers. Over the past several months, I have…
Read MoreLessons From The Last Time Civilization Collapsed
This recent book review on NPR seemed to resonate a bit given the state of the world we are finding ourselves in: 1177BC, The Year Civilization Collapsed. It is an absolute truth that history repeats itself, as we are simply recycling matter and energy within a finite sphere. Sure, with time, this is shifted and…
Read MoreAntikythera | Diving through Time
The last several months, and particularly the past couple of weeks have been nothing short of mind numbing…in hindsight, in my opinion anyway, bringing the Exosuit full online and science-mission ready has been nothing short of a monumental task in a relatively short timeframe. While one mission has been triaged for a short time, mission…
Read Morethe secret it out – the truth about peeing in the ocean
We’ve all done it since we were little kids, but the topic remains elusively among the taboo topics of our generation – peeing in the ocean. Basically there are two types of people out there – those that do, and those that lie about it. Same holds true for divers and peeing in their wetsuits.…

It’s rare that I take to any degree of advocacy for others’ projects – not because they aren’t worth supporting, but rather in the competitive little world we live in, it just gets harder and harder to stand out on your own, let alone when spreading the attention thin. In this case however, ‘Classroom Under…
