In early 1966, a then-brand-new #HOVAlvin played a role in a real-life #brokenarrow drama to recover a missing H-bomb in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain. @abc27News has the story!

In August 2022, Dr. Tim Shank dove in the submersible #HOVAlvin to the deepest (5km/3 miles) & hottest (400C/750F) known hydrothermal vent site to collect animals known only at this site as part of DeepOGen, including vent-endemic shrimp, Rimicaris hybisae.
#HOVAlvin and #AUVSentry dives continue at #EastPacificRise! #WHOI, @LehighU, @Scripps_Ocean &@UiB scientists were happy to find equipment still collecting data after a year on a hydrothermal vent! #NSFfunded #Alvin6500

Since beginning her career as a #marine #geochemist in 1978, @HumphrisSusan has spent the equivalent of 2 full years at sea on #research cruises, including countless dives in #HOVAlvin. Get to know this #WHOI #OceanPioneer! https://t.co/Kh7gaJz1Ax
