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: 

1. 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.

2. Promote fields of oceanography & marine biology — by mentoring future technologists and advocates through operational experience and classroom curriculum.

3. 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

PRESENTATIONS

• Adventure & Archaeology: The Mazotos Expedition   

  • TOPIC: Photogrammetric workflows and impacts, expedition planning, working with ~400BC artifacts & amphorae, conservation and preservation, remote decompression operations —  1.5 hr

• Tech in Tec: Diving the Stolt Dagali with an ROV   

  • TOPIC: ROV drone operations with dive teams on shipwrecks, ROV dive planning, ROV selection, ROV survey augmentation, accessibility and crewing, broadcast —  1 hr

• Lush Seas: Diving with the Stellar Stellers of Vancouver

  • TOPIC: Steller sea lions, PNW wildlife and interactions, travel and diving considerations —  45 min

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

2nd Annual Internship Cohort

Meet the Summer 2025 Internship Program

Each year, Scuba.Tech aims to bring new faces and voices to the table of hands-on marine research. This summer, we are proud to welcome 3 high school students from across the tri-state area: Sean, Makayo, and Krish. For 10 weeks, this cohort engages in hybrid-format projects designed to enhance their STEM skills and contribute directly to current initiatives within the company. 

Returning for his second summer, Sean previously joined as a Marine Engineering intern with the Triscopic Camera Array design and build in 2024. This year, he’s refining the design to be more portable with collapsible handles and improved storage. On 07/14, Sean joined the team for a hybrid dive session with the New York Harbor School where he piloted the ROV and learned more about the flow of set up and presentation for a larger scaled event. From earning certifications to integrating his experiences to other areas of his life, Sean has enjoyed having the freedom to explore more areas of Scuba.Tech.

A model rocketry competitor aiming for the World Space Modeling Cup in Serbia, Makayo discovered Scuba.Tech with his Research and Science club at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Currently, he’s primarily focused on getting programming experience with ReadyOBJ, a method to modify 3D scans of a given object so that it is easier to visualize. With a goal of becoming a mechanical engineer, Makayo has particularly enjoyed the engaging brainstorming sessions and collaborative environment. 

An aspiring roboticist with a passion for astronomy, Krish first connected with Scuba.Tech through a school event where he had the chance to pilot an ROV—an experience that sparked his interest in joining the internship program. This summer, he’s supporting operations, learning HTML and web development, and participating in weekly meetings focused on MAVLLink integration. Curious about how technology can be applied in real-world environments, Krish has appreciated the unique opportunity to gain real coding experience while contributing to active marine research projects.

Behind the scenes, each intern participates in weekly syncs and project meetings led by experienced mentors and members of the team, including Henry Tippens-Richan (ReadyOBJ), Josh Gross (Internship Coordination, MAVLink Integration), and Christopher Drew (Triscopic Array & Photogrammetry Clinics). “They’re motivated, curious, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with how quickly they learn,” said Josh Gross. “And every year, we’re excited to keep expanding this opportunity.”
