Deep Ocean Expeditions
Deep Ocean Expeditions is not in the business of salvage work. We make respectful visits to sites of great scientific interest, triumph and tragedy. An extremely important part of Deep Ocean Expeditions 'modus operandi' is its clearly stated intent to support science. A key feature of all expeditions is the strong scientific content, which in the case of the Keldysh/MIR operations is provided mainly by expert Russian scientists from The P.P. Shirshov Institute and the Russian Academy of Sciences.
