Mr. Robert Stenuit, Ph.D., a Belgian citizen, has extensive expertise in deep diving and underwater work which include, amongst others, exploration in the caves and potholes of the Belgian Ardennes, searching for the wrecks of the 1702 plate fleet off Spain, diver for American Oceanologist Edwin Link and did the first saturation dive alone attempted at sea in a dept of 200 feet for 25 hours. Mr. Stenuit, with John Lindbergh has carried out the longest-deepest dive even then made at sea in 1964 off the Bahamas with the support of the US Navy, which lasted for 48 hours at a depth of 432 feet. He spent time in and out of an undersea dwelling anchored in the water. More recently he has rebuilt an exact replica of the 1715 ?diving barrel? and demonstrated its efficiency in actual diving conditions and is a free-lance historical researcher and consultant for several European and American companies and has served as an advisor for the search and recovery of cargoes of non-ferrous metals and bullion in modern wrecks.
Mr. Stenuit has carried out underwater archaeological excavations on wreck sites around the world, including the first wreck of the Spanish Armada ever located off the coast of Northern Ireland. Mr. Stenuit is a Director of the ?Groupe de Recherche Archeologique Sous-marine Post-medievale? (GRASP) which studies the wrecks of ships lost from the 16th to 19th century. These studies of the material objects recovered bring factual documentation to the history of the European expansion overseas and of its commercial and military exploitation.
