What is like to be an Ocean Explorer?

While our ship board operations may take us offshore for weeks or months at a time, this often requires crew members to live and work aboard heavily equipped vessels in cramped basic quarters and be able to work in remote locations in many types of climates and  conditions- and they must often maintain operations in harsh or even hostile underwater environments. The crew must adapt to unpredictable situations – and be able to maintain a positive image, while tending to the jobs at hand.

Human safety, biological impacts and equipment limitations define the boundaries of every project. Marine based survey and recovery projects are even more weather dependent than land based projects and are often limited by sea conditions. For this reason, we have developed a multi site schedule process which allows for alternative deployment of the crew and vessel -when and if weather conditions stop work in one area, then we can deploy in another area.

This is a developing technology driven industry. We are constantly learning new methods and finding better ways to get the job done. The hard work and team effort creates a special bond and sense of purpose. Simply put, this isn't a method for getting rich quick or an easy career!  We enjoy what we do, and that's the secret of achieving our goals.

Our team has grown over many years and continues to grow. It includes some of the most talented, innovative and dedicated personnel representing a wide spectrum of scientific, ship board and marine technical skills. This translates into decades of cumulative field experience and knowledge that Sub Sea Research company proudly utilizes.

We continue to build upon this network base and cultivate an environment of teamwork and knowledge-sharing as we explore often completely untried methods and forge new trails in ocean frontier exploration and recovery.

As we all know "It's a big ocean out there!" Most of it still remains unexplored to this day. We are dedicated to discovering and exploring as much of the oceans mysteries as we can and sharing these discoveries with the world.  It isn't easy, it isn't simple, it's very expensive, and it's certainly not for everyone.  For some of us however, there is nothing else we would rather be doing on earth!
