The Camper vehicle has its own team, and an incredibly experienced one at that. It includes WHOI biologist Tim Shank (right), who has studied vent sites in the eastern and western Pacific, the northern and southern Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean; WHOI geochemist Susan Humphris (left), who was already studying the possibility that hydrothermal vents existed even before they were discovered in 1977; and Phil Forte, who was a pilot of the WHOI-operated submersible Alvin for six years and now is a pilot for the Jason remotely operated deep-sea vehicle. Forte, who came to WHOI in 1998, said he's been working at WHOI for 45 years. "A year at sea is a dog's year (seven years), so I have 42 years, plus three equals 45 years," he said.
