Scientists, engineers, oceanographers, archaeologists, data experts, and many more people help figure out where to look. It can take months before we even sail. Once we know where to search, another team chooses which underwater robot to use, how to deploy it safely, and how to scan the area in the smartest way. It’s a massive group effort, and every single person plays a part in the final discovery.
There’s a quiet buzz that happens right before we deploy our equipment. Everyone is focused, double‑checking, ready. But the most tense and exciting moment is when we bring that equipment back after scanning the seafloor for nearly 40 hours. We download the data… and we wait.
Somewhere in those images could be the thing we’ve spent weeks searching for. That tiny moment right before you know is full of possibility. It could change everything!
