Hella Hammid was a professional photographer and psychic who participated in Project Deep Quest, a unique psychic functioning experiment conducted in the summer of 1977. She joined the SRI team, including Hal Puthoff and Dale Graff, and worked alongside Ingo Swann and Stephan Schwartz1.
Hammid, along with Swann, was tasked with locating a previously unidentified shipwreck on the seafloor near Catalina Island using Dowsing. She would "sort of look at the map not as much with my eyes as sort of get the feeling of it," and mark locations where she sensed a wreck. Her marks, along with Swann's, were used to pinpoint a single target for the Taurus I submersible1.
For the classified U.S. Air Force project within Deep Quest, Hammid was placed inside the submerged Taurus I, 500 feet underwater and 375 miles away. She quickly identified which photograph, from a set of six sealed envelopes, was correct, indicating the location of Puthoff and Graff who were acting as a beacon on land. This demonstrated her ability to perform long-distance Remote Viewing in a challenging environment1.
