Hi, I’m Ryan Elliott, mechanical ocean engineer, diver, and licensed professional engineer. I began working with Bob and Sussane on various projects while in commercial dive school and continued while studying mechanical engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Our collaborations continued after graduation while I worked for other companies on various ocean engineering projects including subsea power infrastructure, ocean observatories, and subsea sensors for the United States, the United Nations Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization, and other customers. I also participated in the installation of these projects as a diver, deckhand, or equipment operator, in addition to the engineering, testing, and equipment assembly phases, giving valuable field experience to incorporate into subsequent designs.
