MANNED SUBMERSIBLES: "Experimental Design Bureau of Oceanological Engineering (Moscow)
The Bureau of Oceanological Engineering is a spin-off of the P.P. Shirshov Institute. The people who now direct this bureau designed and built the Argus 600 and Osmotr when they were part of Shirshov. This bureau now is building two Rift class 4,000 m submersibles that are 85 percent complete. The institute, which is seeking $2 million in Western hard currency to complete the two submersibles, has also indicated that it would give the funding source one of the submersibles. Table 4.15 describes the Rift submersibles. Figures 4.11 and 4.12 are pictures of the incomplete Rift submersibles. The Experimental Design Bureau of Oceanological Engineering and Rift Co., Ltd. have developed two designs for tourist submarines, Angara TS 6/600 and TS 20/100, which cost $400,000 and $850,000 respectively. (See Table 4.16.)"

Most of research of Institute of Oceanology connected with investigations and experiments in the sea, monitoring, processing and analizing field data, that is why Institute has fleet, consisting on a vessels and equipments arid instruments for marine research : manned submersibles "Mir", "Pisces","Argus", "Osmotr" with transmitting telly-information on a board of the vessel.
In different expeditions on the vehicles were installed additional equipment such as 3-d video system (National Geographic magazine), MAX movie-camera, external movie-camera (Lightstorm entertainment Inc.), HMI lights (up to seven pieces per vehicle), small ROV (Western space and Marine Inc.) etc. In period 1987-1996 twenty two expeditions with the MIR submersibles were conducted. Three general directions In underwater operations can be noticed: scientific research of hydrothermal fields on ocean bed (7 expeditions), the filming of RMS Titanic (2 expeditions) and research and special technical operations on nuclear submarine wreck Komsomolets (6 expeditions).
