Don Keach
Don Keach was a former U.S. Navy officer and deep-sea explorer at the University of Southern California who located a lost hydrogen bomb off Palomares, Spain in 1966 and facilitated Stephan Schwartz's Project Deep Quest by providing access to the submersible Taurus I in 1977.
Don Keach was a renowned deep-sea explorer and former naval officer. He is famous for his role as the submarine pilot who, in 1966, located a lost hydrogen bomb lying on the ocean floor off the coast of Palomares, Spain, after it was jettisoned from a B-52 bomber during a midair collision1.
In the fall of 1976, Keach, along with fellow deep-sea explorer Don Walsh, was running the Institute for Marine and Coastal Studies at the University of Southern California. During a discussion with Stephan Schwartz, a former naval officer interested in psychic research, Keach and Walsh found themselves in a position to assist Schwartz with an ambitious experiment1.
They were able to provide Schwartz with rare access to the Taurus I, a state-of-the-art, five-man submersible, for three days of sea trials. This opportunity was crucial for Schwartz's Project Deep Quest, which aimed to use Remote Viewing to locate a previously unknown shipwreck on the seafloor. Keach's involvement facilitated the use of the submersible for this unique psychic functioning experiment1.
