Our mission is to unite stakeholders from all corners in a collective effort to advance floating offshore wind across the nation and the world. Through problem-solving, barrier removal, risk mitigation, and the formation of meaningful partnerships, AFloat addresses technical, regulatory, and permitting challenges that must be addressed. #floatingoffshorewind #sustainability #energy #renewableenergy #offshorewind #windenergy

A research team from DAN (Divers Alert Network) conducted experiments at Deep Dive Dubai in June to measure brain activity during diving at different depths and with different gases. Our staff participated in the tests, undergoing a three-hour protocol. This study aims to test a head-mounted fNIRS device for measuring brain activity underwater while performing cognitive tests on a waterproof smartphone. The results will help develop underwater brain scanning techniques and identify limitations for research, commercial, and military applications. #DeepDiveDubai #LetTheMagicSinkIn #DiversAlertNetwork #DivingResearch
