Dr. Joseph MacInnis is a medical doctor who spent three decades studying the physiology and psychology of men and women working under the sea. Between 1964 and 1994, he led thirty expeditions and logged more than 5,000 hours under the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic oceans. Dr. MacInnis has been using his undersea experiences to explore new ways of improving the relationships between the human family and the natural world. In 1962, Joseph MacInnis graduated in medicine from the University of Toronto. After his internship at the Toronto General Hospital he was awarded a Link Foundation Fellowship to study diving medicine at the University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Christian J. Lambertsen. In 1964, he became medical director of Edwin Link’s Man-In Sea Project and in 1965 medical director of Link’s new company, Ocean Systems Inc. Between 1964 and 1970, as Ocean Systems became the world’s largest diving and underwater engineering company, Dr. MacInnis and his associates carried out some of the deepest and longest dives ever made. In 1969, he became a medical consultant to the United States Navy’s SEA LAB 3 program. Dr. Joseph MacInnis was asked by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to assist in the research and writing of Canada’s first National Ocean Policy. At the same time, supported by the Canadian government, he initiated the first of eleven diving expeditions to study the systems and techniques needed to work safely under the ice in the near-freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean In 1984, Dr. MacInnis turned his attention to the study of humans and machines exploring the deep ocean. In 1985, he was an advisor to the Titanic discovery team and two years later made his first dive to the wreck. Between 1985 and 1991, in the Russian Mirs and French Nautile research subs, his deep ocean dives included a 10,000-foot dive into Monterey Canyon, a 16,000-foot descent into the eastern Atlantic and two dives to the bow and stern sections of the Titanic. He was co-leader of one of the most daring deep sea projects ever conducted, a two million dollar expedition to film Titanic in the Imax giant-screen format and the first to study the great ship in her biological, geological and metallurgical contexts. It was this expedition that inspired James Cameron’s Hollywood film. Dr. MacInnis is worked with James Cameron—the director of Titanic— and his documentary film company, Earthship Productions. In 2003, he accompanied Cameron and his team on a 2-month expedition to film volcanic vents at the bottom of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Using two ships and four research subs, they made 40 dives at ten vent sites and edited the footage into $14-million, 3-D Imax film called “Aliens of the Deep.” Dr. Joseph MacInnis has written nine books and numerous articles for newspapers and magazines, including Scientific American and National Geographic and Wired. His books include "Underwater Man," "Saving the Ocean," "Fitzgerald’s Storm," "Titanic in a New Light," "Surviving Terrorism: How to Protect Your Health, Wealth and Safety."
