Lest anyone think that there ain't nobody in here but us TIGHARS:
Michael Dessner, the Director of Operation at the Waitt Institute for Discovery, has been kind enough to point out a couple of errors in my post which I hasten to correct.
The institute was formed in May 2005, not 2007. I also got the length of the 2009 expedition wrong. It was the 2006 trip with Nauticos that was 38 days. The 2009 voyage was a whopping 90 days with 72 days of survey time during which they covered 2200 square miles with high-resolution side scan sonar. An amazing achievement.
