Rubicon Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization devoted to contributing to the interdependent dynamic between research, exploration, science and education. The foundation, started in 2002, is located in Durham, North Carolina and is mainly supported by donations and grants. Funding has included the Naval Research Office from 2008 to 2010. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher has provided pro bono services to help search copyright and support.
The Rubicon Foundation projects make it easy for divers, aviators and recreational researchers around the world to find answers to questions about dive medicine, aerospace physiology, and space medicine, as well as historical information.

Rubicon Research Repository
The Rubicon Research Repository is the premier foundation project that started in 2006. RRR is an online database of environmental physiology reports, including hyperbaric and hypobaric drugs, as well as environmental physiology topics others.
The RRR contains workshops and annual meetings of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences; Workshop on Alert Network Workshops and Reports on decompression, diving, and Project Dive Exploration publications from 1988 to 2007; multiple Diving Science And Technology Corp./Association of Professional Symposiums and Technical reports of Diving Instructors; many National Underwater Accident Data Centers on accident reports and accidental fatalities of the University of Rhode Island covering 1970 to 1989; workshops sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution Scientific Diving Program; Journal of South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society covering 1971 to 2005; as well as many theses on diving and hyperbaric medicine.
The collection also contains journals, abstracts, and workshops from the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society such as: The Journal of Underwater Biomedical Research extending from 1974 to 1992; Journal of Hyperbaric Medicine covering 1986 to 1992; The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Journal which began in 1993 to date has begun to incorporate the content of previous journals into a single location; The Annual Scientific Meeting of Abstract from 1974 to the present; as well as many of the scientific workshop processes.
Also available are technical reports from organizations that include: Defense R & amp; D Canada; US Office of Naval Research; Australian Naval Underwater School of Medicine; Aviation and Space Agency; US Navy Experimental Diving Unit; US Naval Medical Research Institute; US Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory; as well as the US Air Force Base Brooks and the Air Force Aerospace Medical School.

Other publications they have made that are not currently included in the RRR are UHMS's Underwater Medicine and Related Sciences and Hyperbaric Oxygen Review published from 1980 to 1985.
Rubik Reviews
Rubicon Review is Yahoo! Groups with periodic literature updates in environmental physiology. The project started in 2007 with the goal of helping researchers stay up-to-date with information but ended in 2010 due to technical problems with Yahoo services.
Project Recovery and Preservation B-25
The B-25c Mitchell Bomber was dumped on April 4, 1943 and remains 45 meters (148 ft) below Lake Murray (South Carolina) surface for 60 years. The recovery effort was led by Dr. Robert Seigler and overseen by Gary Larkins of the Air Pirates. The Rubicon Foundation divers participated in a recovery effort in 2005. The project is documented by the History Channel and broadcasted on their show Mega Movers. The aircraft is being preserved by Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Alabama. This project carries the banner of Explorers Club number 103.
