About the Expedition

On January 19 2011 the UK's iconic research robot submarine Isis  was involved in an accident that significantly damaged the vehicle. The loss of this important Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) was both shocking and devastating for the UK marine science community which had come to rely upon and appreciate the huge scientific rewards that this amazing deep diving vehicle can offer.

Once funding from the Natural Environment Research Council was approved in June 2011, it was a race against time to resurrect Isis  to meet her demanding schedule.

This is the story of the first real test of the rebuilt Isis  on its continuing quest to unlock the mysteries of the deep.
