Atlantis Uncovered
The Discovery Channel’s ‘Atlantis Uncovered’ does a great job debunking the theory of Atlantis. While scientific evidence may not support Plato’s writings, I urge you to take a different perspective. Perhaps ‘Atlantis’ is yet to come. The ideology of the Lost City is one is ingrained in many elements of our society and culture. I…

The question of where we came from has answers embedded in all cultures and throughout all of history. However, it is a somewhat new concept to consider where we are going as a species. Not so much culturally or socially, but in our species evolution. Few, if any, species on this planet have stopped in…

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…

Since the start of the 21st century, rebreathers have become the accepted norm for pursuing more routine expeditious intervention of the ocean. This technology is quite simple, as it basically recycles the diver’s exhalations, removing poisonous CO2, then monitoring the gas, and providing some means to add oxygen that has been metabolized by the diver.…

Just one generation separates a generalized mentality of ‘going to work’ versus more lifestyle driven careers. It is…

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…

Read MoreLife in the Sea | an Overview
Manned habitation of the seafloor is a critical component for the future of ocean exploration, advancing science, and for the survival of our species. Early projects in the 1960’s and 1970’s set the stage for early saturation technologies and techniques, however funding ‘dried up’ upon several complications being realized. Here, we have compiled a number…
