Dark Water Research ™

Dark Water Research, or DWR, as its employees and clients call it, was established by Homer Olsen during World War II as a commercial dive and salvage company. Since then, DWR has grown from a two-person shop to a worldwide conglomerate, providing a wide range of inspection, design, and maintenance services, from in-water ship repairs to underwater construction, but its bread and butter is the oil service industry.

The company is headquartered in Texas City, Texas, along Industrial Canal and is featured prominently throughout the Ryan Weller Thriller Series.

Greg Olsen is the current owner of DWR, residing aboard his flagship vessel Dark Ocean.
