Our dedicated team, known as the Live Crew, is actively engaged in an ongoing effort to bring the captivating marine world of Puget Sound to educational settings such as classrooms and laboratories. Through our work, we venture into seldom or never explored, uncharted areas of the Sound, to uncover the extraordinary flora and fauna that inhabit the sea floor. Our pioneering approach employs innovative, non-invasive research techniques, allowing us to safely delve deep below the surface. By identifying the diverse array of species that flourish in the chilly, verdant, and occasionally turbid waters of our local estuary, we offer students the opportunity to uncover and gain knowledge about the remarkable inhabitants of their own local environment. We are always looking for enthusiastic young people to get involved. Shot on location in Puget Sound, Live Streamed using 4K ROV. Air temp 67º, water temp 51º, salinity 2.5%, current minimal.

Our organization recently had to replace our existing ROV, although a fabulous machine, it simply wore out from an abundance of use. On the maiden voyage in our cold, green, extremely murky waters of Puget Sound this Spring, the ROV performed very well. As we each donned the VR headset to navigate the Kelp and seascape, we were all very pleasantly surprised by the richness and variety of wildlife in this spot. We remained focused on our task of mastering flying the ROV beneath the surface and enjoying some informal underwater research. We will be conducting a Live Streaming Event at this spot very soon.

Water temp 52º, salinity 2.4%, wind 3 knots This past Friday, on World Oceans Day, our Live Crew was hard at work attempting to conduct some proprietary research in the cold, very murky waters off the shores of Edmonds. The visibility was only 1 to 2 feet, which made our work extremely difficult. First, it’s nearly impossible to couple drone with diver. Second, it’s extremely problematic to find and video the wildlife when it’s nearly impossible to see the wildlife. Fortunately, we have a skilled and dedicated team of experts and volunteers who love their work and our goals. Thanks to Anson, Avery, Dylan, and Samantha for all your efforts in making this happen. The video below is a combination of 4K, and HD videos shot on location, about 41’ below the surface of our fabulous Puget Sound Underwater. If you’re in interested in getting involved onboard with us, contact via our website. If you choose to watch and participate in our live streaming, interactive broadcasts, go to our YouTube Live Channel. Research conducted at 41', water temp 54º, salinity 2.9%, winds 6 knots, Edmonds, Washington Below are some of the amazing and gorgeous creatures living in our cold, green waters of Puget Sound. Visibility is pretty poor this week and the water temp of Pug. Sound is hovering around 54 degrees Fahrenheit, way too damn warm! The Nudibranchs are out nearly everywhere. It’s beautiful to see these amazing little creatures, with no head, no brain. I could make a joke but I’ll refrain. We’ll be conducting some underwater research this afternoon, live and interactive. Please login to our YouTube Channel at 4:00 PM, and ask questions in real time, while we’re 80’ below the surface in the cold green waters of Puget Sound Underwater.
