evidence: Hugo Marrero is a submersible pilot for Harbor Branch Oceanographic Insitute. Read the full text of Hugo's interview below to learn more about his job. [...] Submersible Pilot / Electronics Technician [...] My job is primarily to help the scientists do their research in an efficient and safe manner. As a pilot and technician for the sub, I am responsible for the submersible’s readiness prior to every dive, and to take the scientists underwater and back to the surface safely. I also ensure that all the science gear that goes in the sub for each dive is in proper operating condition prior to each and every dive. This simplifies the work load for the scientist who can concentrate in his research without worrying about the intricacies of operating and maintaining a submersible. During the dive I operate most of the science collection equipment, the video camera(s), digital Still Photo Camera(s), and continuously monitor the life support systems.
