Inkfish - expedition logistics & scientific operations diving team

At Inkfish (2025), I am involved in both the shoreside logistics team (scientific expedition permitting, web design and playbooks, sample biosecurity and remote PBQ help), along with building our Scientific Diving programs and Dive Academy facilities. I also work on mission as an expedition diver around the world. See below for images and summaries:
