Expeditions

Project IJN Kongo March 2010

Chapters

This is the fourth major expedition undertaken by the newly formed Triton Oceanic Corporation. The objective is to find and document the wreck of the Ijn Kongo, a 36,000-ton battleship sunk off Formosa during the second world war…

Weighing in at 36,000 Tonnes, you may think finding this is easy but I can tell you, even with our sophisticated equipment comprising sidescan sonar and Caesium magnetometers, its not!!

The expedition will be documented using video, still photography and a written journal resulting an a book and TV show.

St Kilda Guide April 2009

Chapters

Triton Oceanic Sub Aqua Club undertook their second expedition to the Scottish islands to explore the remote beauty of the islands underwater world to the full, pioneering previously identified virgin dive sites and visiting some of the old favourites.

This expedition will form the basis of the ‘Essential Guide to St Kilda’, a brand new publication featuring the ‘top 20’ sites across the islands.

Soon to be published in DIVE Magazine; details on the book will be avaiable soon!

St Kilda August 2008

Chapters

I first visited the archipelago in May of 2005; an experience I will never forget. This expedition shared my passion, immersing 24 Divers in 13 days of adventurous, challenging and world class diving.

‘The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.’
James A. Michener (1907-1997)
