Great mentor and manager!

Igor and I have worked together on board r/v Sakawe Surveyor offshore Namibia. Igor was and still is the Master of r/v S. Surveyor. Being a very experienced mariner and a knowledgeable hydrographer he has demonstrated an excellency and highest levels of professionalism in different applications of both the seamanship and hydrography. Certainly one of the rare and an outstanding cases when a seafarer clearly understands all the specifics of hydrographic and seismic survey: viewing ahead / sensing astern. In any areas and any weather he kept r/v Sakawe Surveyor and her crew (both marine and scientific) safe. I have a great privilege to recommend Igor as a Master, a navigator and a hydrographer to any offshore project of any scale and complexity.

I had an exclusive opportunity to begin my career in geoscience with such a smart specialist and affable individual as Igor. Being an excellent source of profound professional knowledge, ethics, personal approach and natural leadership, Igor is an irreplaceable part of the team and a great mentor. Work done to the best possible result and within planned time frames - it is Igor.

I have had a great opportunity to work along with and to gather a huge amount of professional skills and life experience from Dr. Sergey Paraketsov. Practical field / marine expertise enforced by the virtually limitless knowledge in geo-sciences, fidelity to common sense and professional principles make him a real treasure to any potential employer and business partners.

Yanai is a real team-player, attentive to detail, quick learner who has a very solid theoretical background enforced by an extensive on-hands experience in geosciences. Sincere, intelligent, a true soul of the team. Great specialist and friend.

Dmitri is an excellent, wide-and-deep-thinking professional. Innovative, open-minded and very creative. Knowledgeable and modest. Bright personality.
