“We couldn’t be happier to work alongside the oceanographers, researchers, and marine scientists at KAUST.
By providing a platform to reach deeper into data collection in the Red Sea than ever before, we’re able to do more science for less resources in a safe, consistent, and reliable way” said Kevin Decker, CEO of Ocean Aero.
