Our Team

The secret to our success has always been our team—a group of professionals from various fields who are passionate about the ocean, dedicated to discovering new things below the surface, and committed to using our discoveries to make a difference.​

​

A passion for the ocean is in the Odyssey DNA and is reflected in our personal and corporate commitment to the wellbeing of the ecosystem and the surrounding community. We are explorers and innovators drawing on over 30 years of experience in the deep-ocean exploration industry.  The Odyssey Team consists of a global network of scientists, environmentalists, engineers, business professionals and one of the most experienced marine exploration crews all working together to ensure we are meeting our goal to deliver high-value seafloor resources that are in high demand.
