From 1974-84\, Alvin’s engineers developed acoustical navigation (ALNAV)\, communications\, photo graphy\, lighting\, and life support systems specifically intended for the deepest oceans. It became one of the world’s most important deep-sea sc ientific instruments. Alvin discovered effects of pressure on seafloor mic robes\, and Alvin’s study of hydrothermal vents revolutionized our under standing of life’s origins.\n\nLodging is available at Sands of Time (ww w.sandsoftime.com)\, Treehouse Lodge (www.MyTreehouseLodge.com)\, and Wood s Hole Inn (www.WOODSHOLEINN.com).
