One year since diving deep... / April 3, 2018 by Lisa Tossey

Hard to believe it's already been a year since I traveled down, down, down to the East Pacific Rise aboard the DSV Alvin!

All I wanted to see down there was an octopus ... wish granted!

2500 meters Under the Sea / June 4, 2017 by Lisa Tossey

Under the guidance of professor and oceanographer George Luther, UD CEOE students participated in a series of dives to a depth of 1.7 miles below the ocean surface. These research dives took place in DSV Alvin from March 27 to April 16, 2017, at 9 North, a region of hydrothermal vent activity situated along the East Pacific Rise in the Pacific Ocean.

A piece I'm really proud of ... my highlight reel of our 15 dives on the East Pacific Rise in DSV Alvin. I think I'm still processing the surreal experience and all I saw down there ... truly an experience of a lifetime!
