Submersible
The University operate two diving submersibles through the
Hawaii Undersea
Research
Laboratory (HURL). This laboratory primarily supports marine
research
projects that require data acquisition at depths greater than SCUBA limits.
The HURL program concentrates its research efforts in the following
general areas: fisheries, pollution, sea floor properties and processes,
and ocean technology and services. The submersibles are used primarily for
projects accepted by a National Science Review Panel which approves
and ranks solicited proposals for submersible use. The submersibles
operate throughout the Pacific and are available through competitive
application. Please contact HURL in the Marine Sciences Building 206 (956-6335).
