Team Atlantis' base of operations is a 170 foot diving vessel loaded with the very latest navigation and research equipment. The vessel boasts accomodations for 12 passengers and will serve as the launch platform for our dives on newly discovered sites throughout the ocean.

Our divers are equipped with state-of-the-art diving gear from Mares to aid in the study of the underwater archaeological sites. Cutting edge surveying gear will aid our geologists in constructing a detailed model of the sites.

Team Leader Michael Arbuthnot, Underwater Technologist Chris DeFelice and other divers will be in constant contact with each other and our topside vessels via a customized submersible wireless microphone system. The DIVELINK underwater communications system features a patented strapless mouthpiece, voice activation (VOX), automatic squelch, a bone conduction earphone, a high grade memory free nicad battery pack, and an advanced integrated design.

When Team Atlantis identifies an underwater location of archaological research interest we sometimes set up a massive underwater lighting apparatus to illuminate our discoveries...

The "rocket sled" will be used to remotely survey underwater sites to prospect for camera angles and shooting locations.

The extraordinary one-man submarine allows us to "fly" over underwater sites to capture them in their incredible entireties.

The sophisticated digital cameras capture closups as well as wide angle perspectives of each and every inch of the areas under study for inclusion in Team Atlantis' spectacular feature documentary.

Team Atlantis will be utilizing the SEA-2000 - to explore the underwater sites. The SEA-2000. is a revolutionary self-contained vehicle which allows exploration while breathing normally inside the bubble. It will allow our scientists to focus their efforts on the intense study of these amazing undersea discoveries.

Our underwater video cameras, provided by AirSeaLand., provides crystal clear video feeds for our Internet broadcast. The ASL custom designed VH-1000 water-tight housing can survive a crush depth of 350 ft!

We'll be instantly capturing and compressing the live and on-demand undersea and deck-top video using the Osprey-100 from Viewcast.com. The Osprey-100 includes state-of-the-art hardware-level video compression to maximize system resources and is the very best Internet video solution available.

As often as possible, our interactive webcasts are uplinked to our servers via satellite and made available to our international audience. We plan to share our adventures with the largest simultaneous Internet audience in the history of the medium. Join now!
