About the Project
This experimental submersible project was developed by Shark Project to investigate whether the natural behavior of great whites could be observed from a manned open submersible.
Joining forces with legendary shark diver Andre Hartman, I spent much of 2006 attempting the ambitious goal of tracking great whites from a unique submersible named SOVie (Submersible observation vehicle).
Like many breakout projects, SOVie had mixed fortunes, and despite not producing any long term tracks, the project allowed unique insights into the social behavior of these sharks from a unprecedented vantage. But really, it was just soo cool and fun!
