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
"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.
