Organizations Supported by SCUBAPRO
Aldebaran
The Aldebaran is a 46-foot research and media vessel home-based in Hamburg, Germany. Able to operate in virtually any marine environment (oceans, rivers, estuaries, etc.) the Aldebaran cruises the world, linking science and the media. Providing an eco-friendly platform for TV and radio broadcasts, plus an on-board laboratory for marine research, for close to 25 years Aldebaran has acted as a research and broadcasting vessel for the dissemination of knowledge regarding marine environments. SCUBAPRO donates dive gear to enable the on-board dive teams to perform their research and underwater field work.
