Coranado cooperative involved coordination of non member assets to deploy structural assistance for teame planning objectives. A full round trip 30 mi. bike ride to pre scout locations by TZMP scouts, allowing for pinpoint arrival and integration with indigenous entities was performed in advance of the main operation.

It was a multi day event involving TZMP and TZA activities. Participants engaged an early morning 18-mile ride under pack on bicycle carrying a TZ underwater submersible sensor package to the forward embarkation point. The dive profile involved a two-site two-site day ending with a return 18 mi. TZMP return ride.

“ Divers observed a variety of underwater life including crabs, seals, and an assortment of fish. ”

TZ aquanauts dove in La Jolla kelp forest and La Jolla beach area to depths in excess of 65 ft. Following the dive, TZ aquanauts were required to exploit indigenous personnel on their own initiative for transport to the final objective, where a light repast was served and medical aid administered.
