Alvin has made more than 3,700 dives for a wide variety of scientific endeavors. The submersible’s most famous exploits include locating a hydrogen bomb accidentally dropped into the Mediterranean Sea in 1966, exploring deep-sea hydrothermal vents discovered some two decades ago, and surveying the sunken ocean liner Titanic.
