A 2013 expedition voyaged to the remote Solomon Islands to explore and document novel displays of biofluorescence on coral reefs. The work was a next step in Lombardi’s exposure to the phoenomenon which stemmed from ONR funded work in the late 1990’s.

Among the ambitious field agenda for this expedition to continue fluorescence exploration in the Solomon Islands is carrying out the work across the full spectrum of depths – from shallow flats and mangroves, to coral reefs, through the mesophotic zone, to scratching the surface of the aphotic realm, where light fades to black. Complicating this…
Read Morefrom tektite to ‘tek-lite’
It’s all too easy to get ‘stuck’ in the day to day grind and lose sight of the bigger picture – yet having this bird’s eye perspective is often necessary to interject, capitalize, and make change. I recently stepped back to take a closer look at the then and now of scientific diving – or…
Read Moreunused real estate for tek – butt packs & plates
As I’m gearing up for a forthcoming scientific expedition, among the first things I grabbed – an essential part of my gear configuration – is my butt plate. Once converted to sidemount style diving several years ago, I have since incorporated a butt place into almost all of my diving modes – it makes great…
