Exploring as a marine biologist & scientific diver

Robert Marc Lehmann is a trained graduate biologist (Diplom-Biologe) with a specialization in marine biology. He is also a certified scientific diver and supervisor of scientific diving.

A significant part of his work has involved scientific diving missions and research projects commissioned by governmental agencies, ministries, research institutions, and universities. Together with his dive team “Submaris,” Robert has conducted dives in waters around the world, working on a wide range of scientific objectives.

These include participation in the world’s largest marine species survey, the Census of Marine Life, in the Arctic Ocean; expeditions into dark fjords in search of deep-sea organisms and previously unknown toxins; as well as interdisciplinary diving operations in confined cave systems, exploring archaeological relics from long-forgotten eras.
