Ocean Discovery is closely associated to the highly respected organisation Global Underwater Explorers, GUE, and cooperate in numerous projects around the world. This European arm of GUE is dedicated to marine archaeological support, under water surveys and UW photography/filming. The organisation's internationally recognised "Ocean Discovery Exploration Team" has been involved since 1999 in an un
precedented marine archaeological survey project of the south east Baltic Sea. Since 1999, the group has discovered over one hundred wrecks. In 2011 the survey project culminated with Ocean Discovery´s divers locating the flagship Mars that sank in 1564. It has been called the marine archaeological find of the century. This does not mark the end of the project, but the beginning. Many years of exploration and documentation on this remarkable wreck lies ahead of us. 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 sister ship, 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. In 2001 Ocean Discovery worked for BBC´s series "Journeys to the bottom of the sea" filming the M1 experimental submarine in the English channel. The team has participated or led numerous successful projects since 1995. Ocean Discovery members also participate as speakers/presenters at many international seminars and events. Topics range from diving in general to archaeological explorations. In 2012 Ocean Discovery's Richard Lundgren was elected fellow member of the prestigious Explorers Club. This is a tremendous appreciation of a life time of underwater exploration culminating with the discovery of the ship wreck Mars.
Vår samarbetspartner BUVI Scandinavia presenterar våra tjänster inom 3D scanning på ett illustrativt sätt. Vi erbjuder en hel rad tjänster så som sjömätning för vindparkprojektering och
inspektioner under ytan.
Metoden används i en rad olika tillämpningar, t.ex. hamninspektioner, brofundament, 3D-skanning av vrak, rörledningar, tunnlar och alla typer av undervattensinfrastruktur
One of the episodes. toxic wrecks, follows Ocean Discovery´s work on the white star liner S/S Skytteren (S/S Suevic) sunk during WW2. In 2020 we documented the wreck with photogrammetry. Skytteren is over 175m long and the largest shipwreck in Swedish waters. Our documentation was used to plan a successful oil salvage operation in the spring of 2021.

Ocean Discovery is currently investigating three environmentally hazardous wrecks for the Swedish Maritime and Water Authority. There are approximately 17,000 shipwrecks along Sweden's coasts, 300 of which have been classified as environmentally hazardous and the Swedish Maritime and Water Authority is responsible for documenting and sanitizing them.

Preparing for wreck surveying
3D scanning with photogrammetry delivers unprecedented level of detail vastly superior to any acoustic instruments such as MBES. The 3D scanned models can also be used to create immersive CGI images as seen below in addition to being an invaluable asset for interpretation of ship wrecks and underwater constructions.
Our 3D scanned data is compatible with market leading survey software EIVA. We can deliver data in file formats that can be dragged and dropped straight in to EIVA in any reference system.

Programvaran EIVA Navimodel är marknadsledande inom survey branschen . Vår 3D scannade data är direkt kompatibel med EIVA och kan användas för ROV

One of the most productive weeks ever on the Mars with more than 50 new discoveries on and around the wreck. One more week to go !

Another day with great conditions on the Mars. Past week the divers have done more than 50 new discoveries. We will update with more information the coming days.
Today Ulf Långström at Deep Vision will survey the Mars debris field with side scan sonar and ROV.
Today we revived this MPS booster , it will speed up gas filling for the team considerably. Nice piece of engineering !
First dive of the project has been completed. Main task was simply to secure a down line for the two coming weeks of diving and checking conditions. Kirill Egorov captured this nice image of the hullside of the wreck. It’s dark and cold down there.
First day of the Mars project. Great surface conditions.
Detail Elevation Model (DEM) of the Mars shipwreck based entirely on photogrammetry. 20 000 super high resolution images generated a point cloud of 2.4 billion points. The 3D model is scaled so accurate measurement is possible.
For 3 years we have worked with 3D scanning the Mars shipwreck and for the first time we are sharing a sample of the result. The project has been sponsored by National Geographic North European Fund.
Future applications of this highly detailed 3D model includes VR experiences and dome projections so the general public has the oppurtunity to explore the site without getting wet.

The warship Mars sank in a 1654 naval battle, and archaeologists have now reconstructed its wreck site in 3D.
Article about our work 3D scanning the Mars shipwreck sunk in 1564 as well as other interesting discoveries in marine archeology. Since the article we have made giant leaps forward and the entire Mars shipwreck is now 3D scanned, not just a chunk of it. The model is now in it´s final stage of preparation.
Mars lends itself very well as a 3D model because it´s a very 3 dimensional site, far from some timber scattered over the seabed. Almost the entire wreck is still there, preserved by the Baltic sea. The wreck is almost 40m long and at the highest point the stern is 7m high above the sea floor. The site is littered with artifacts such as numerous bronze cannons, silver treasure and daily life items that the crew of more than 600 left. The 3D model is of such high detail that even small items like coins are visible. The point cloud alone consists of over 2 billion points and is based on more than 15 000 still images. The images are processed to a 3D model with photogrammetry.
The 3D model will open up numerous opportunities such as large scale 3D print for museum exhibitions , interactive VR experiences, doom projections and more.
We would like to point out that the photo mosaic in the article is not a CGI 3D image but a photo mosaic courtesy of Tomasz Stachura.

The Mars 2015 expedition was a great suvess. 15 divers participated doing detailed docunetation of the site. The 3D documentation also continued and we took around 14 000 images. Hopefuly we now have enough images to complete a model of the entire wreck site.
The focus of this year was detailed searching and documentation of the site. For the first time the wreck was split in to grids. The divers did an excelent job and showed outstanding dedication.
Thank you to the great team that made this years Expedition Possible! And thank you t the expedition photographer Julia Golosiy for the excelent pictures!
