Project Deep Quest was a unique psychic functioning experiment conducted in 1977, involving Remote Viewing to locate an underwater shipwreck from a submersible. It was a collaborative effort between Stephan Schwartz, Hal Puthoff, Dale Graff, and psychics Ingo Swann and Hella Hammid.1
The project had two main elements: an unclassified one focused on locating a shipwreck, and a classified project for the U.S. Air Force to test long-distance remote viewing inside a submersible. For the unclassified part, Swann and Hammid used map dowsing techniques to identify potential shipwreck locations on a nautical chart of Catalina Island. The submersible Taurus I was then used to investigate the identified location.1
The project successfully located a previously unidentified shipwreck, marking the first time psychics had located an underwater archaeological site from inside a submersible. The classified portion, designed to test remote viewing for emergency military scenarios, also yielded positive results, suggesting the potential for PSI-INT in operational contexts.1
