Scientific Diving

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are swimming robots whose use promises to revolutionize our scientific understanding of aquatic ecosystems. AUVs sample the environment at spatial and temporal scales that would be prohibitively expensive using conventional technology. Other tasks well-suited for AUVs include automated gathering of environmental data used for monitoring ecosystem health and marine food resources, facilitating search and recovery operations and drug traffic interdiction, and increasing national security. However, increasing operations of greater numbers and kinds of AUVs in situations where scientific diving occurs pose a potential hazard that needs to be addressed. We review scenarios where AUV/diver conflicts are likely to occur, make estimates of the scope of the problem, and offer some initial thoughts concerning threat mitigation. Ultimately, a ’consensus standard’ will be needed with contributions from the emerging AUV robotics industry, AUV academic R&D centers, military us ers, the commercial, scientific, and recreational diving community, and civilian agencies concerned with maritime commerce, marine science, and human safety.

Scientific Diving

Through an umbrella program, the Flower Gardens Ocean Research Program (FGORP), scientists and students from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi and several other Gulf coast universities have been able to utilize offshore oil/gas production platforms as field stations from which to conduct research and undertake training in scientific diving technology. As a cooperative program with several offshore oils and gas producers, the research and training conducted through FGORP has been effective, productive, and cost efficient.
