Discovery Exploration Team" has been involved
since 1999 in an unprecedented marine archaeological survey project
of the south east Baltic Sea. Since 1999, the group has discovered
over thirty wrecks. The wrecks have been extensively video documented
and broadcast by the BBC, SVT, and TV4.
The team is also heavily involved in international diving projects
and Ocean Discovery divers have had a leading role in two expeditions
to the Titanic’s sistership, HMHS Britannic, to a depth of one
hundred and twenty meters. Ocean Discovery video from the expedition
has been broadcast by National Geographic, BBC, History Channel and
the Discovery Channel among many others. The team has participated
or led numerous successful projects since 1995.
Ocean Discovery members also participate as speakers/presenters at
many international dive shows and events yearly. Topics range from
diving in general, archeological explorations to environmental studies.

OCEAN DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL PRESENTATION 2006
"If adventure is your
bag, then Richard Lundgren's sessions are a must. Richard is one of
the sport's most highly respected technical divers and he has done
just about everything from hunting for Spanish galleons in the Caribbean
to carrying out the longest cave dive ever done in Scandinavia, in
Arctic conditions. At LIDS 2006 he will be talking about his work
locating and diving dozens of the wrecks, ancient and modern, that
can be found in excellent states of preservation in the cold, clear
waters of the Baltic" – LIDS, London International
