A True Explorer
Cassell is also a true explorer. Fascinated by the undersea world since childhood, he has devoted
countless hours to inventing equipment and techniques for exploring the mysteries of the ocean.
With more than 35 years of diving experience, he holds the world record for a long-distance
saturation dive (52 miles) and has spent more than 13,000 hours underwater as a mixed-gas
diver. Using a method he invented, Cassell was the first to film a 50-foot Giant Squid in its
natural environment.
Realizing that people are motivated to preserve and protect the things they understand and
appreciate, Cassell created the non-profit Undersea Voyager Project (UVP) to help marine
researchers, educators, students, and “citizen scientists” explore and learn about the under-
water environment. UVP opens the world’s unexplored oceans to those inspired by deep-sea
discovery. Even private citizens can participate in a UVP expedition. UVP’s first oceanic voyage,
off the coast of California, will collect samples in the underwater environment at under- explored
mid-water zones during a circumnavigation of Catalina Island. Eventually, Cassell plans to
circumnavigate the globe in a submersible to further investigate the undersea world.
