"What man can conceive,
man can achieve" The oceans contain infinite resources that have
yet to be discovered and explored. We are a research and
development organization concerned with undersea
exploration. The earth is only one of nine planets in
the solar system that is known to have an appreciable amount of
water on its surface. Yet we know more about the surface on
the moon than we know about the vast depths of the oceans.
Terrestrial life is meager compared to the vast richness of life in
the oceans. Although life itself probably originated in the
ocean and new forms are continually being discovered, especially at
great depths along the mid-ocean ridges, many life forms in the
ocean remain unknown. With their abundance of plant and animal
life, the oceans offer much potential. Our current
project is a multi-disciplinary program that sparks the imagination
of students and dramatically enhances the classroom
experience. Exploring the earth’s oceans, rivers, and
lakes. From modern man made reefs such as the Shedd aquarium’s
new Philippine exhibit to 9000 year old cities hidden in the depths
of ocean and coral reefs of the South Pacific ocean to the chilling
waters of the Irish Sea. Our current project explores Planet
Earth and exposes students to leading scientists who work with them
to examine its archaeological, biological and geological
development.
