Griff Outlaw, Bob Brown, Rocky Geyer, and Barrie Walden,
inspect the mock-up of the 7-ft personnel sphere for the
Alvin replacement submersible. With funding from
the National Science Foundation, WHOI staff began design
work this year on a replacement for the 40-year-old Alvin.
The new submersible, due in 2008, will dive deeper, be
more maneuverable, and provide better visibility for the
pilot and two observers. (Photo by Tom Kleindinst, WHOI
