It was founded to promote further understanding of the underwater environment and to encourage the cross-fertilisation and dissemination of ideas and information relating to ocean technology. This results in:
The Society organises an extensive programme of events such as conferences, seminars and workshops with a broad international appeal. These are designed to provide detailed professional and technical treatment of subjects relating to subsea technology.
The organisation also publishes a quarterly technical journal called 'Underwater Technology' along with a members' newsletter, with both publications acting as a platform for research papers and discussions on the latest developments in the industry.
Special interest groups play a primary role in achieving the aims of the SUT, and these are:
Technical groups cover a diverse range of areas including diving and submersibles; underwater science; subsea engineering; offshore site investigation and geotechnics; ocean resources; oceanography and Government liason.
The work of the SUT Education and Training Committee includes producing a pack of careers sheets for use in secondary schools, colleges and universities. An accompanying video is available for use by students, and local involvement by members in schools is actively encouraged. In addition, there is an annual Christmas lecture for schools on marine topics held in London which has proved very popular over the years.
Annual student sponsorship is provided through grants to high calibre undergraduates and postgraduates undertaking relevant marine science and technology subjects.
