Hey there! Welcome to Scuba.Tech
Here you'll find our research, videos, course notes, notices, and local resources.
Our work is defined by three continuing goals, known as the Trident:
Increase community stewardship with our marine ecosystem — by bringing accessible oceanographic media content to viewers, and by running educational events to practice hands-on volunteering & field studies.
Promote fields of oceanography & marine biology — by mentoring future technologists and advocates through operational experience and classroom curriculum.
Research new digital workflows to combine historiography with technology — by investigating new methods to survey shipwrecks and marine biomes in 3D & 4D augmented reality, virtual reality, and finally by releasing all products and techniques as public open-source.
Available Presentations and Workshops for 2025

WORKSHOP
ROV Operations Clinic
- In this workshop, we will take your class on an outdoor diving adventure, showcasing the latest in ROV construction, operations, imaging, and hybrid-diver operations. This program is completely custom to your class size and needs, so inquire for a bespoke plan. We will assist with all permitting and site planning, or we can join as a special guest with your existing event! Runtime ranges: ~ 3 hrs to 9 hrs
Introduction to Photogrammetric 3D Survey… Underwater!
- Ready to take your shipwreck diving and survey skills to the next level, or curious about art in rapid digital survey? Starting from the ground-up, we will review current survey techniques before introducing photogrammetric survey. With little more than a camera, an accurate baseline, the right software, and know-how, you can build scaled-3D models in just minutes after your dive! This technique has revolutionized land-based archaeology and is now being implemented underwater. All required software will be supplied, and we will go step-by-step through the entire workflow to create your first model. Handouts with notes will be provided, so you can focus on the task-at-hand…and have a convenient reference guide for the future! ~ 4 hrs
- Optional Extension: All of the above, plus 2 hours of equipment setup, a 2-hour pool session, and 2 hours of modeling the results. Students will leave with 2+ 3D models, fully-configured software, and the diving and photography skills to begin real survey projects. ~ 10 hrs

WORDS FROM THE CREW
Testimonials
Jason C.
Grant writing assistant, Intern"I stay with Scuba.Tech because I believe in the skills I’m learning and the impact they can have on ocean conservation. My goal is to protect and preserve the ocean's splendor while doing great things for our planet.
So far, I’ve contributed to creating animal species guides, supported public ROV dives, and helped with grant writing. With a background in biology and zoology, as well as scuba certification, I’m excited to learn even more—like photogrammetry—and take on bigger roles, such as becoming a science communicator."
Andrew H.
Historian & Composite Review for Stolt 3D, and Grants Writer"Growing up, I was fascinated by shipwrecks, obsessively sketching them and dreaming of visiting famous sites. Thanks to Scuba.Tech, I’ve rekindled that childhood passion and found a unique way to combine it with my skills as a professional historian in the realm of STEM and maritime science.
Scuba.Tech offers a collaborative environment where diverse expertise—from computer engineers to marine biologists—comes together for public education and scientific research. For me, that means crafting the historical narratives of dive sites, shipwrecks, and the impact of human activity on the marine environment. Projects like Stolt 3D allow me to explore the stories beneath the surface, connecting past events to ongoing exploration and conservation efforts.
Maritime exploration isn’t just about visiting underwater destinations—it’s about the memories and connections we bring back to the surface. My advice to aspiring maritime explorers? Tap into your inner adventurer, take chances, and ask around—opportunities are closer than you think!"
Adam S.
R&D Staff, Grant Support"I'm a particle physicist. There are particles in the ocean. That's synergy, Baby! In all seriousness, it is fun to see my friends tackle a world of science, and I am happy to lend my support where I can, whether it be by coming up with crazy project objectives, wordsmithing, or mentoring."
