Having received the licence, we fixed the dates for the two-week exped and reserved the Huskyan for the duration of the expedition. We then got around to sending out formal invitations and the necessary paperwork about insurance, liability and diving methodology to the selected divers.

Our general goal was to make this expedition the most advanced survey of a British warship that had ever been carried out. To achieve this we would be adopting and utilising the rapid advances that are currently being made in the development of underwater imaging technology and in particular 3D photogrammetry and virtual reality (VR). Specialist highresolution video cameras would be used to capture suitable footage for the photogrammetry and VR, the video camera operator using two LED 100W video lights and a single LED 1000W specialist video light. The camera operator would be supported by two lighting assistants, each of whom would carry a 300W video light. 100W is roughly 10,000 lumens so in total 180,000 lumens would be used to capture the photogrammetry and VR footage.
