From the owners: Our company operates the research and diving vessel. During the last three years the vessel has conducted marine research programs in the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea) and undertaken two multi disciplinary research charters to the Seychelles Islands (Indian Ocean) under contract to the Israeli Inter University Institute (IUI) for Marine Sciences. Over the last ten years the vessel has chartered extensively throughout the entire length of the Red Sea from Sharm el Sheik (Egypt) to the Straits of Bab el Mandab (1200 nautical miles), operating in Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Eritrea and Djibouti. In October 2000 the vessel participated in the U.S. Office of Naval Research Littoral Warfare Advanced Development experiment (LWAD) off the coast of Italy, in the Adriatic.
