1931–2023 · Berkeley, California

Don Walsh is a renowned deep-sea explorer and former naval officer, known for achieving the deepest dive ever undertaken. In 1960, along with a crewmate, he descended to the bottom of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, a feat that would not be replicated for another fifty-two years1.

In the fall of 1976, Walsh, along with fellow deep-sea explorer Don Keach, was running the Institute for Marine and Coastal Studies at the University of Southern California. They provided Stephan Schwartz with access to the Taurus I, a state-of-the-art submersible, for three days of sea trials. This access was crucial for Schwartz's Project Deep Quest, which aimed to use Remote Viewing to locate a previously unknown shipwreck on the seafloor1.
