Tell us about your role as Senior
Submarine Operations Officer
From selecting dive sites and organizing permits, to rinsing
the sub with fresh water after a long day of diving, I am
responsible for all aspects of the submarine operations on
board Scenic Eclipse. The real highlight for me is sharing
the subsea wonders of the world with our guests. Volcanic
pinnacles, sheer walls, majestic wrecks, a wide diversity
of marine life and beautiful reefs all lie waiting to be
discovered.
Where is your favourite dive location and why?
The world has a myriad of spectacular dive sites waiting
for us to explore, from sunken wrecks and vibrant tropical
reefs to a sea floor teeming with life in Antarctica.
My personal wish list includes diving the
 	
  Strýtan Hydrothermal Field in Eyjafjörður, Northern
   Iceland
 	
  Half Moon Cay Wall, south-east of Lighthouse Reef
   atoll in Belize
 	
  Wreck of HMHS Britannic, sister ship of the infamous
   Titanic, in the Aegean Sea
How do you describe the experience of going in a
submarine to a guest?
Diving with our submarine is an ‘out of this world’
experience.
What is the best guest feedback you have ever
received?
I have had the honour to be a part of many people’s
first-ever experience of being underwater. To me it’s all
about people and their genuine reactions and emotions.
The best feedback is not always given verbally. I will never
forget the lady that fell asleep during the ascent after an
incredible dive to the Antarctic seafloor. After I woke her
at the surface she told me that she got so relaxed from the
serene setting and exploring the dream-like, underwater
world that she dozed off.
What’s the biggest challenge in piloting a submarine
in a range of different oceans and climates?
Modern submersibles are without doubt the safest way
to dive into the heart of our oceans. Our seven-person
submarine will be taking guests to the furthest reaches
of remote regions and therefore safety is paramount. In
ensuring safety with no compromise, above all else we had
to establish self-sufficiency in our contingency plans.

        Tom Goetter
        Executive Chef, Scenic Eclipse
        Tell us a little about your career so far – it’s an
        unusual role, how did you qualify, and was it
        something you always wanted to do?
        I wanted to do something new and enter in new challenges.
        When I heard about this project and the freedom to bring all
        my ideas to a brand new vessel. How could I say no to this
        opportunity.
        What career highlights stand out for you? Describe
        your most memorable destinations and moments.
        I competed in ‘Top Chef’ Germany at beginning of this year,
        which was a very intense and emotional experience. The
        pressure and have to cook for Eckart Witzigman, one of
        Europe’s most well respected chefs in front of millions of
        people, was something special. Finally I could show my
        friends and family, old colleages and general followers and
        friends why I have chosen such a life of by travelling all
        around the globe for the purpose of culinary.
        Describe a typical day on board Scenic Eclipse and
        outline of what your role involves?
        I don’t think there is any day like another one on a ship like
        Scenic Eclipse. The day is full of surprises and challenges
        that’s why I like it so much – not a single day is regular.
        Tell us what makes Scenic Eclipse such a stand out
        experience? What is particularly unique to this ship?
        The Scenic Eclipse is indeed more than special. The tools
        we use the equipment we have, the Items we use and the
        outlets themselves are just incredible. I mean 10 food
        venues for 200 guests and our own Micro Herb Garden.
        What will our guests experience? How does the
        dining team on this Ship set itself apart from other
        cruise ships?
        Guest will experience a much wider and more exclusive
        menu both in variety of dishes and cuisines chosen. My
        team represents more than 14 nations and we try to bring
        all of these to the plate. All our venues are different from
        incredible special from design, chinawear and food.

Are there any new
locations you’ll be
experiencing?
I never been in
Antarctica so I’m
very much looking
forward to grow
Micro greens
amongst the
penguins.
What aspect are
you most looking
forward to?
I’ve been working in this
project since last year March
and I’m very much looking forward to
seeing all outlets full of people and the energy I am hoping
for. I want to make people happy and my chefs proud. The
Team needs to feel like rock stars because this is what we
really are. To work every day so hard for so many days in
advance is just an outstanding success.
Where is your dream destination and why?
 I don’t really care about nice buildings or fancy shops.
I care most about the culinary aspects of each place so
it doesn’t really matter where we are since every single
corner has its own culinary influences so it’s a never ending
learning and exploring process. When guest go out with me
to local food markets, they usually describe me as a little
kid in a toy store.
