“The ROV and team at PRS performed beyond expectations!  Their professionalism and spirit of making science possible are second to none!”

Dr. Rick Peterson

Coastal Carolina University

Pelagic Research Services is one of six companies prequalified by the University of Victoria to provide ROV Services for the maintenance and repair of the ONC cabled observatories. It has been a pleasure to work with them on both occasions. The teamwork and expertise of their staff and management continually impressed the ONC team. Their ability to adapt to emerging issues and to quickly learn our systems and operating procedures made the work progress smoothly.

Adrian Round

Director, Observatory Operations, Ocean Networks Canada

I sailed twice with Pelagic Research Services and Odysseus ROV. The team took the time to understand scientific priorities to ensure we met our goals. We got the samples and data we needed to make the mission a success. Ed Cassano is smart, creative and dedicated. I look forward to working with them again!
