Very happy to see the Global Explorer ROV still out there, hard at work. This vehicle was Chris Nicholson's baby and it looks like the crew at Oceaneering are keeping his legacy going.
Chris was one of the early inventors / developers of ROV technology and he was famous in the ocean engineering world. He passed away suddenly in 2015.
