At the end of this short video is some exciting imagery of what the museum could look like. All the years we have been working there, its fun to imagine something like this becoming a reality. Thanks Magdy for posting the video.

How often do you take your lifeboat for a spin? Are you sure that in the event of a maritime disaster that your lifeboat is well prepered. A prudent mariner would check all emrgency gear on a regular basis, but it doesnt have to be a chore; It could be a Race! The annual Key West Lifeboat Racing Series is intended to get people to test out their emergency gear on an anual basis. For 3 years in a row, the winner has been this little beauty pictured here, but its not because she's fast, its because of the rules... The Exhibition of Amazing Finds From Sunken Egypt that I was able to participate with as part of Underwater Archeologist Franck Goddio's team will visit L.A. soon.

And while excavating the location of Cleopatra’s Palace, or the great temple at Canopus that disappeared in cataclysmic events thousands of years after the beginnings of history, and yet more than a thousand years before now, my mind sometimes wonders to the inevitable question, when will it happen next? And you'll be rewarded! With Prestigeous Prizes, and international acclaim!
But only if you win the Design Competition! Ever wish you could ring in the new year in a remote location, far from the crowds? I got that chance again this year, anchored off the Marquesas Islands in the Florida Keys. As part of an Aqua Survey project developing new tools to find bombs and other things that dont belong in the ocean, we anchored in this idylic location every night, right through New Years Day. It was a great opportunity to consider the options for the many exciting adventures to come in 2012.

My Name is Eric and My Job is Scientific Exploration.
That means I'm lucky enough to join expeditions to excavate sunken cities, climb volcanoes, find missing bombs, and Sail old research vessels, while searching for the mysteries of the natural world. Categories
