The vessel has served as a support vessel for submersible operations and as a base for camera teams. Work was done for ambitious landmark wildlife series such as the BBC´s Blue Planet II and Atlantic Series, Our Planet for Netflix, Hostile Planet, iTV´s Life at the Extreme, The Mating Game, and others.
She can also easily be used as a vessel for wreck search and recovery. The precision sidescan equipment allows for clean high res acoustic imagery up to 900m of depth.
