It's a girl!

We were happy to welcome diver Desiree Steiner aboard for our recent trip to U-869. Desiree joined Jenn on surface support, got a behind-the-scenes look at our operations, and quickly proved she could handle life offshore.

As you'll notice, while the boys were fast asleep in their bunks, these ladies brought the boat all 55 nautical miles home.

We're looking forward to having Desiree in the water with us this summer. Welcome aboard, Desiree!

We were deeply touched and honored that a portion of Maritime Institute and Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum's new Andrea Doria exhibit features Atlantic Wreck Salvage's 15-year history of diving the wreck and a quote from our late Captain Joe Mazraani. It reflects not only Joe's spirit but the spirit of wreck diving that draws divers back to the site year after year. We've enlarged quote in the photo so you can read it clearly.

Mike and Jenn were thrilled to stop by Nantucket High School to speak to students from the Cyrus Peirce Middle School. These kids had tons of meaningful and interesting questions. Can you guess the three most common questions we get when we speak to students?
