EYOS Expeditions

“But what moves me most is not my own descent. It is what I have watched happen to others.”

In a new article for Oceanographic Magazine, EYOS Co-Founder Rob McCallum reflects on the decades of his life he has spent planning and facilitating some of the world’s most ambitious expeditions.

From helping bring the Five Deeps Expedition to life to carefully pairing the right vessels, technology, expedition teams, and expertise for journeys to the most remote corners of the planet, Rob shares what it takes to create the conditions for extraordinary discoveries to happen.

He also reflects on his own descent to nearly 11,000 meters in Challenger Deep, where he witnessed firsthand the life, wonder, and perspective shift that exists in one of the most remote places on Earth.

At the heart of the piece is a belief that has shaped his career and continues to define exploration today:

“When they go down, they will come back changed. And that understanding, in every person who finally enters the water, is what the expedition exists to make possible.”
