Underwater 360/VR Film

Andy is working with underwater cameraman Rich Stevenson to produce an underwater 360/VR film using a specialist filming rig and lighting system. They want to allow people to have an immersive experience in the sorts of environments they can’t normally reach. From inside deep shipwrecks to flooded mine systems and underwater caves.

The filming is on-going though 2018.

Blue Abyss

This pioneering centre will be the most comprehensive deep sea and space research, training and test facility of its kind in the world, unmatched in its breadth of configuration. Blue Abyss’ primary function is to enable extreme environment development, both human and robotic, ranging from the offshore energy industry through to the growing human spaceflight sector and adventure tourism.
Blue Abyss is scheduled to be fully operational in 2019.

Andy has been supporting and consulting for Blue Abyss since 2014 when it seemed to most as only the crazy dream of Founder and now CEO John Vickers. But Andy  spotted something visionary, bold and important. He could also recognise the determination and relentless work ethic of John from their first meeting.

This summer Andy will attempt to complete the UK’s deepest shore dive. He is currently looking at 3 different locations around Britain, pouring over sea charts and surveys, in order to decide the best option.

It will see him dive over 130 metres deep to carry out some basic survey and recording of the seafloor and the biodiversity at that depth.

More updates to come.
