Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	NOTE D – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS We currently provide services to a deep-sea mineral exploration company, CIC Limited (“CIC”), which was organized and is majority owned and controlled by Greg Stemm, Odyssey’s past Chairman of the Board. Mr. Stemm’s involvement with this company was disclosed to, and approved by, the Odyssey Board of Directors and legal counsel pursuant to the terms of Mr. Stemm’s consulting agreement in effect at that time. A current Odyssey director, Mark B. Justh, made an investment into CIC’s parent company and indirectly owns approximately 11.5% of CIC. We expect Mr. Justh to recuse himself from any decisions of the Board of Directors regarding CIC. The Board of Directors made a determination that Mr. Justh’s indirect ownership in CIC does not impair his independence under applicable rules. We are providing these services to CIC pursuant to a Master Services Agreement that provides for back-office services in exchange for a recurring monthly fee as well as other deep-sea mineral related services on a cost-plus profit basis and will be compensated for these services with a combination of cash and equity in CIC. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we invoiced CIC a total of $358,409 and $197,051, respectively, which was for technical and support services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we invoiced CIC a total of $1,048,293 and $671,061, respectively, which was for technical and support services. In furtherance of the Master Services Agreement, we plan to finance the acquisition of certain equipment required for implementation of CIC’s Marine Operations Plan, which is the comprehensive workplan for offshore operations, including exploration, survey and sampling of potential mineral deposits. In anticipation of entering into a lease-to-own equipment agreement with CIC in the fourth quarter of 2022, as of September 30, 2022 we have paid $310,119 toward the purchase of this equipment, and CIC has reimbursed $136,860 of that amount. We have the option to accept equity in payment of the amounts due from CIC. See NOTE C for related accounts receivable at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and NOTE E for our investment in an unconsolidated entity. The above terms and amounts are not necessarily indicative of the terms and amounts that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent parties.
