Thank you so much. I am in hot pursuit. If I ever get the chance to meet you in person, I will mention this exchange!

Despite your experience, do you get jitters before a dive?

I am a sea-going technician and ROV pilot with the goal of becoming a submarine pilot (I want to be responsible for bringing scientists safely to the bottom of the ocean for direct observation and back). I'm learning everything I can think of to learn about ocean tech - can you give me a piece of advice for making my dreams happen?

Wow a full ocean depth camera housing - I'm guessing made from titanium? Do the landers come back to the surface via a tether or acoustic release or other?

Can you describe the submarine features? Does it have sampling ability and if so what is the payload? Does the sub dive with pitch weights?
