The Research Vessel Christina Busch is a turn-key solution for extreme research and exploration projects.  Our 120' fully ocean-rated exploration/research vessel offers an unprecedented inventory of equipment.   Christina Busch boasts state of the art sonar equipment, magnetometers, photo-mosaicking, and deep-sea camera sleds, necessary for finding and locating objects at deep depths.  Our 9' draft allows us to get in further and closer to many sites.   All while working in yacht-like comfort not found on most research vessels. 

​

Busch Marine is equipped and ready to facilitate your modern-day exploration efforts in scientific research, documenting and conserving the world's shrinking and endangered resources, as well as historical submerged habitation sites and culturally significant shipwrecks.
