ROV PILOT "TIBURON"

My present duties at MBARI are piloting the ROV "Tiburon" and to maintain the vehicle's operational status.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

FAA Private Pilot : Airplane Single Engine Land 
SCUBA Diver : Open Water

See me and my Plane.....

"The male pilot is a poor, confused soul who talks about women when he's in an airplane and talks about airplanes when he is with a woman."

 

Tiburon is a unique new ROV developed at MBARI. The system breaks new ground in providing an integrated unmanned submersible research platform, with many powerful features providing efficient, reliable and precise sampling and data collection in a wide range of missions.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform or pause and reflect.
