Cambrian Foundation

Utilizing a unique specialty in deep and technical diving, the Cambrian Foundation has conducted variety of data collection projects for environmental scientists, marine geologists, archaeologists, and historians, as well as local, state, and federal agencies in many corners of the world.

Cambrian Foundation - does that?

The Cambrian Foundation has two unique characteristics that set us apart from other research and conservation organizations. First, we have a specialty in deep and technical research diving, which enables us to collect data for scientists, archaeologists, governmental agencies, military installations, etc., in places where most people cannot go.

Cambrian Foundation - does that too?

Since its inception the Cambrian Foundation has been doing presentations at schools and community groups worldwide to teach people about the importance of maintaining clean waters for our planet, and the excitement and wonder of underwater exploration, with the hope that students and teachers would join the Foundation on an actual research expedition.
