  • The deep-sea submersible Alvin has brought researchers and explorers to extraordinary places for more than 50 years. Now, Alvin is poised to continue its revolutionary scientific work with a new set of upgrades that will take it deeper than ever before, with the ability to reach more than 98% of the ocean. How has the research conducted with the Alvin submersible impacted our understanding of the oceans? And what can Alvin’s incredible history of discovery, inspiration, and daring tell us about life on Earth and beyond?
    A Co-Production with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

      One that was designed over fifty years ago and is constantly being upgraded as technology and knowledge advances.

      A 1960s submersible that has gone through thousands of dive vs a dingy plastic tube made by a wanna be explorer.

    It is amazing to me that the company Ocean gate didn’t follow common practices in the deep water sub building community.

      It’s almost like alvin is the pinnacle of 60 plus years of deep sea research and 100s of millions of dollars in funding. Kinda makes titan look like a carbon fiber casket glued together in a warehouse.

      Yeah, WAY to much safety and pilot error. We can't hide from all the dangers in life. Plastic submersibles are cheaper, lighter, and extremely unsafe!! On our submersible, you're gonna get the thrill of a lifetime. Is this the dive that finally does it in? Maybe!! Now that'll be a quarter of a million dollars please, also can you sign this document here?
