Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	NOTE M – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS On December 9, 2002, a Georgia limited liability company acquired rights from an unrelated third party through a foreclosure sale to receive 5% of post-finance cost proceeds, if any, from shipwrecks that we may recover within a predefined search area of the Mediterranean Sea. The shipwreck we believe to be HMS Sussex is located within this search area. Two of our officers and directors at the time owned a 58% interest in the limited liability company until they sold their interests to an unrelated third party in 2005. If, at any time, Odyssey is forced to cancel or abandon the project due to political interference, the officers may be required to buy back their interests. In December 2015, we entered into an asset acquisition agreement with Monaco Financial, LLC. (Monaco). Monaco has purchased a substantial amount of our SS Republic coins over the years. In years 2015, 2014 and 2013, we had coin sales with Monaco of $1,605,676, $304,674 and $0, respectively. We had accounts receivable with them at December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $629,400 and $87,399, respectively. In 2014, they loaned us $10.0 million to assist us with our cash flow obligations (See NOTE K). Based on the substance of these business transactions, we consider Monaco Financial, LLC. to be an affiliated company, thus a related party. We do not own any financial interest in Monaco Financial, LLC. See NOTE S for further information on the asset purchase agreement and the related party.
