Still not interested going deep.

Nice to see a Ranger in New England!!

Now thats a well built sub

Holy shit. A new video from a dude that hasn't posted in 3+ years. This is the KZbin I want

Yeah “you’re careful what u drop alright” haha…! It’s funded by the U.S. Navy. Y’all do what they say and that’s that. Whether it’s environmentally sound or not. 👍👍🇺🇸

My dad went down in alvin to study geothermal vents in the gulf of Mexico in 2005, so cool to see how they're constantly upgrading this thing

Well done I spent 5 years taking care of alvin, We were on rv lulu not atlantis

Alvin is my favorite deep submersible of Theseus. Every upgrade has made it better and safer. 👍

Brilliant. May I use a brief clip for my history of Jinkin/Jenkin please? Doug Pickford

Looks a little better than that anxious crew in that exploding coffin

I WOULD FEEL SAFE GOING ON A DIVE ON THE TITANIC WITH BRUCE BECAUSE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING UNLIKE OCEANGATE WHO I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN AND ARE A BUNCH OF AMATEURS ! ! !💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

1:54 "We Have Built A Sub That DOESN'T Need A COMPUTER" That Said My QUESTION Then Is WHAT Is DRIVING/POWERING Those DIGITAL Gauges AND COMPUTER DISPLAYS (Glass Cockpit/Flightdeck Panels) ? ? ?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

what a real piece of shit with all those buttons, i could easily replace all of that with a logitech controller.

this is created by real scientists and engineers instead of conmen ans incompetent morons

Yea but where's the gamecube controller?!

Alvin is amazing, I didn't know it was still in use. The current technology level is awesome, so much safety built in with analogue controls to be sure it works. The people who built Titan should have learned from this.

It's sad how I love anything and everything mechanical to the point of furnishing a house completely with something thrown away I fixed yet never asked my father who's been on dives in ALVIN and others over a half century. Another sad thing are the roughly 5,200 cigarette butts I've picked up just on the frontage to the state highway my house of 7 months among other trash. At least you'd think about the lake or forest fires before throwing a lit or just a butt that takes too long to decompose. Apologies for running off subject but I love nature and the oceans as much as my father. Wish him well from yet another cancer related surgery. Thanks. Edit: This is exactly who you'd want building and piloting what has a remarkable amount of attention now and to me is shocking.

A very interesting vid, not sure i am brave enough to go down in this Sub, but it is impressive

Where's the Xbox Controller!?!

Has anyone ever had sex inside the sub and if not, why not?

This is a REAL submarine - operated by REAL submariners

Coffee machine? Toilet? Day bed? Get this sorted!

This is what I would expect for a $250k ticket…not the surplus store DIY special. I think if the Titan victims had seen this video - they’d have thought twice before getting into that sinking cigar tube. What is super sad is that Hamish Harding went down to the deepest point in the ocean with Victor Vescovo in that magnificent sub “Limiting Factor”, and still fell for the assurances fed by Ocean Gate’s late CEO.

Will someone tell me why a billionaire wouldn't rent this marvel to get down into the abyss? I mean.... You have this, you have the Limiting Factor submersible which looks very good (if still available), and (unless I am mistaken), you have those great Russian submersibles for rent. So. If money is not a concern.... why not use one of those?

Where's the Playstation controller? I'm not going under water without one.

To me ALVIN is a trusted name, I’ve heard of this sub for decades now.

They seem to be using some 50-year-old white guys with 30-plus years of marine environment experience.

Alvin’s engineers need a raise 💰

So this is what a submersible is supposed to look like. Having watched various videos about Titan it was clearly criminal in its design.

The titan team, the ENTIRE team, wouldn’t be qualified to clean the Alvin

Alvin is legendary.

Ever since I focused on the whole Titan debacle, I wondered what would I have done if I were one of the few who could have went down there, before this happened? I have no doubt once I heard the hull was made of carbon fiber, I would have had questions, and my doubts. Then if I saw some of the other submarines like Alvin, I would really have my doubts. At that point, I would seek out expert advice.

so very cool

This chap is really interesting to listen to.

Titan is Alvin’s abortion

Needs an Xbox controller tho

How on Earth did the people of Oceangate get fooled by a fool?

Alvin is lowkey one of the most impressive machines humanity ever built

The magic to alvin is it's a sphere

Alvin is disassembled inspected and reassembled every 5 years and then inspected by the US NAVY and is owned by the navy

This is proper engineering

THIS is how an engineer should discuss his work. THIS is how engineers should engineer innovation within the bounds of the rulebook. Stockton Rush was an engineer, but flaunted his LG controller & completely digital interface housed within his uncertified sub. World of difference.

Alvin is a icon In the submersible world

No wonder OceanGate was a pariah. It takes a lot to do dangerous things safely. A lot that they did not see fit to do.

Mercury trim system. Coolest thing I learnt today.

A bright mind.

lol Stockton Rush was no genius

I was just visiting Cape Cod and really wanted to go on the Woods Hole tour but my wife didn't want to :(

I can't believe he went with the more qualified team to build this sub and didn't use young kids straight outta college.

Although Alvin is some 60 or so years old, almost every component, including the pressure hull, has been upgraded/replaced at some point. Very few if any components are original to the early '60s version. A true ship of Theseus.
