do they do "for profit research" is the key question -- what I see listed for the most part looks like no money "cultural artifact shipwrecks" which means no money to be made from the finding of them … great for archie types not so much for "for profit" folks

I think the operative sentence in their portfolio is this one:

Additionally, SEARCH2O Maritime Archaeologists have individual experience working on the nation’s most important submerged cultural resources including the CSS Hunley, CSS Alabama, USS Westfield, and CSS Georgia, as well as manning a submersible and ROV to document the RMS Titanic.

there are very, very few operators that have manned submersibles to document the Titanic. or have worked the Hunley.
