	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Alvin
		Alvin was the first deep-sea submersible capable of carrying passengers, usually a pilot and two observers.
		Though a section of the sub was damaged during recovery, Alvin was so well preserved by the near-freezing temperatures and lack of oxygen at depth that lunches that had been left on board were soggy but still edible.
		Alvin also can be fitted with a variety of other specialized equipment, depending on the needs of the scientists.

	Lost City Expedition: Alvin Crew
		One of the requirements for the members of the Alvin team is the ability to work with mechanic, electronic, and hydraulic components.
		Daily Alvin operations require a well coordinated effort aboard Atlantis: swimmers, A-frame operators, the launch coordinator, surface controllers, engineers, crew members and pilots are all involved.
		The Alvin Group may be the first to tell you that they are a little crazy, but definitely enjoy having one of the world’s most unique jobs.

	Deep Submergence Vehicles
		During a 1972-1973 overhaul, a new titanium personnel sphere was installed in Alvin to double the sub's depth capability to 3,658 meters (12,000 feet).
		The other two spheres originally fabricated for the Alvin were later used for the Navy's Turtle (DSV-3) and her sister ship Sea Cliff (DSV-4), built to a design similar to the Alvin.
		This increase of 1500 meters over Alvin's limits provides access to 37% more of the sea floor, which represents an area that is greater than 90% of the surface area presently exposed on the continents.

	Seaquest Dsv
		Named both for the famous cartoon chipmunk and its proponent Allyn Vine, the ''Alvin'' was commissioned June 5, 1964.
		The submersible is launched from the deep submergence support vessel ''Atlantis,'' which is also owned by the Navy and operated by WHOI.The sub has taken 12,000 people on over 4,000 dives, to observe the lifeforms that must cope with super-pressures and move about in total darkness.
		It is said Alvin research has featured in nearly 2,000 scientific papers.

	2002 Gulf of Alaska Seamount Cruise with the DSV Alvin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		On this expedition, with the DSV Alvin, they studied the geology, microbiology, and ecology of deepwater crabs, corals, and other life on undersea mountains called seamounts, in the Gulf of Alaska.
		The Alvin can hold three passengers, typically a pilot and two scientists, in its 23 feet, 4 inches; cruise at a maximum speed of 2 knots; operate to a depth of 14,764 feet; and support its passengers for 216 man-hours(72 hrs by 3 persons).
		The Alvin manipulator placed the rocks in an isolation box, designed to minimize contamination of the rocks with surface water and to hold the rocks in their ambient sea water until they were transferred to sterile containers on deck.

		Alvin has made many research dives resulting in hours of video and many deep sea specimens being brought to the surface.
		Alvin is equipped with two 35mm cameras and two video cameras along with sonar, probes, and collection containers not to mention all the robotic arms and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of other equipment (DSV Alvin).
		Needless to say it costs a lot of money to maintain and operate Alvin on each dive but the information we have received from the dives is priceless for future resources and information for generations to come.

	How Deep-DSV Alvin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		WHOI is pleased to announce that after a prolonged effort, the U.S. Navy has approved an increase of ALVIN's operating depth from 4 000 meters to 4500 meters.
		The ALVIN Group has been doing the requisite background work to support the increased depth certificatio n for the past three years.
		This depth increase results in about 25% more of the ocean floor within reach of ALVIN and means that nearly all of the mid-ocean ridge crest as well as many deeper portions of continental margin, backarc basins and oceanic transform terranes can now be studied using ALVIN.

		On June 5, 1964, the deep submergence vehicle (DSV) Alvin entered into service, and in the intervening decades has carved out arguably the most distinguished operational record in the history of undersea research.
		It was Alvin, accompanied by the robotic undersea probe Jason Jr.
		(Alvin did not actually discover the wreck; that distinction went to the robotic camera sled Argo.) Short of the cinematic works of James Cameron, Alvin's visuals are probably the most well known photographic evidence of the Titanic's remains.

	The Edge of the Gulf: Deep Sea Expedition to the Gulf of Mexico
		Alvin dive 3634, for example, ascended 2,100 ft up a sheer limestone cliff that forms the westernmost limit of the Florida platform.
		On the underside of the ledge, sheltered from falling sediments and nourished by organic particulates, a bright garden of corals, sponges, and sea-whips hung suspended, swarming with tiny shrimp.
		Phil Forte, Alvin pilot, was able to hold Alvin steady against the current and creep along the entire ledge while cameras recorded the scene.

	MATE - 9 Degrees North
		Sailing aboard the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) Research Vessel (R/V) Atlantis (pictured left) with the Deep Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Alvin, Rutgers University scientist Dr. Rich Lutz is leading a team of scientists, education specialists, students, and film crews to hydrothermal vent sites located in the eastern Pacific Ocean at 9° North, 104° West.
		Using the Alvin's camera systems, which include a High Definition (HDTV) video camera, and the IMAX camera, our dives will capture incredible images of the vent communities - 6-foot long, blood-red tubeworms, mussels, crabs, and eel-like, seemingly translucent fish to name a few organisms - which I'll be sharing with you on this site.
		It became clear during Alvin dives to this area that a volcanic eruption had very recently occurred that wiped out existing biological communities and created new areas of hydrothermal venting.

		Inside the cramped life-support sphere of the 17-ton Deep Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Alvin, Johnson, Foster and a Washington Post reporter along as an observer had been lowered that morning from the pitching deck of the mother ship, the research vessel Atlantis, into waves aglitter with sunlight.
		With Alvin operations costing $25,000 a day, the researchers were in a perpetual race against time, working night and day.
		With strains of Aretha Franklin playing on the sound system, Foster quickly had Alvin's port claw in motion, filling the air with the whine of tiny motors as he ``clearcut'' a semilevel patch in the tube worm jungle and moved boulders to even out the rough ground.

	US Navy's family of DSV-Deep Submergence Vehicles
		The three-place submersible Alvin, operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (in Massachusetts) for the Office of Naval Research, has four viewing ports, video and still cameras, one six function and one seven function manipulator, scanning sonar, and can be fitted with a variety of other specialized equipment.
		Instead the area was devoted to a number of manned submersibles (Alvin, Aluminaut, Perry Cubmarine) and the CURV was restricted from entering the search area for approximately 1 month (they were told, essentially, to practice so they spent the time dropping a cylinder overboard and recovering it).
		The story was that a manned recovery would make good PR towards future funding of manned submersibles.
