Dive into the Deep Dark Ocean in a High-Tech Submersible!

[Music] so we've now dropped below 200 meters deep it has seen a shark what there's a shark somewhere around here [Music] Oh welcome to the scientific research ship baseline Explorer we're just off the coast of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean 775 miles from New York 1051 miles from Florida 3206 seven miles from Cornell I'm Greg foot on the onboard science reporter as a day I'm getting a chance to dive down into the deep ocean in a submersible will know that they are be waiting a very long time flips over helmet like a bit we get a bit cold in place all right Mears oxide yes like we're inside you or playing tennis own thunder Rin because we're ready to go then yeah good thank you oh it close it to be in here I'll be waiting in plastic so there's relief straps now we project you'll reverse er I'm going to test my thrusters that Kenny oh stop my first in I'm underwater here we go Thank You Jeremy wait till we're a little clearer so we positively voyage right now are we get inside the big gold tank that you look on the side here those are big our main ballast tank so they're full of air and they're keeping it right up out of the water and then in behind us we have what's called a variable balance tank that's what we use to define adjust our trim on the bottom side hahaha topside topside Nomad like that yeah my had to secure life support is running free night safety briefing has been completed for looking for permission just to open our vents and let's get out of the people not [Music] I do that opening events now tell me what happened there you can see they're certainly comfortable yep before and then it's going to roll back in a minute mister not quite a scary feeling I'm a business yep that intense yep did that hit really yeah go ahead down mimmo on your where you want to construct a little bit do that come around now shot by a miracle oh yeah that's your left foot our RN and running our situation has been complete visual on-demand request permission hockings I think Mugabe getting down that we gotta hear a little bit of air to relief [Music] you're on our way Oh get away from the wave action so you can already see I just 15 feet down that it gets a lot bluer for people to go and that's because the sunlight coming in getting absorbed and patted by all the water around us and actually the red get absorbance versus we need to get bluer and bluer on the way down to that subsides upside is Nomad my deafness 24 feet my heading is to 4-0 my life support is OK and my vents are secure so we just have a here whatever there's no where we're still going down while we going down yeah yeah you just can't tell at all now so we're thinking calico 5 jobs people with those absolutely could do that yep now there by the phenomenal sight it's like that flame they are isn't it yep oh yeah I guys we see you here he goes we're gonna I think in fact very maneuverable just giving them a little Norway yo man I'm a little thin that's a little dance you the ocean is the planet beating heart it produces a lot of the oxygen that life needs to breathe home to so much fish that feeds so much of the world and also it drives the temperature of the planet as well and just like measuring the pole to get a sense of the health of the body with the measure the ocean currents down unit emotions to get a sense of the health of the whole planet the ocean and that in what nathan is doing little side position in the ocean survey and right now I am 565 foot mound incredible diversity McElveen ruins of that so we've now dropped below 200 meters deep and that means that we've left in sunlight layer which is known in Toledo and we've drop down into in Twilight area or the new so gratitude oh and right here is really dark because all the light of sunlight has been scattered and absorbed and it means a very dark and very very very aged but there is still some light here just very very faint and it would go down below a thousand meters and then go right down the values of total dark right world into the midnight zone oh my work what's that it's the world Oh related cloud that we're cooking it's like a war suddenly appearing there in this field of wire comb and a definitive stench darting around as well you can feed mother to do routing forums on the rock I mean that not the scientific name so when we're up on the ship at sea level we say that a pressure in one atmosphere and those eventually the amount of pressure pushing down on top of the from the whole of the atmosphere all of that air pushing down on our shoulders there are actually quite a lot that we never thought and think about it because grown up with it with the goal to deal with it but if you dive deeper and deeper into the water with all that awards and on top of you that selfish and down on you and that way the pressure increases and absolutely goes up by one country and we tell me we're a 20 20 feet or we could say 25 atmospheres because we're 250 meters which is easy to say with having a jumbo jet or a few of them kind of only top of the sub right now I find one one is another okay and I'm guessing he actually wouldn't be possible tonight oh no there's no way you could push that hatch it's not a chance I'm not going to do it but I can actually undock it nothing we have need to do that tell me about this incredible machine how can it survive a depression well we're in a perfect sphere so this is an acrylic sphere and it is built to handle that pressure so if it was square the sides of the pushing but because it's a perfect sphere it doesn't press it pushes being on itself and actually get quite strong amazing the attack Titans of the his office how you viewed your office it is it is my office wide open I have the best office really there yeah and the part that I like about it the fact is that we can come down and two or three hours down here go straight back to the surface get out and have a nice cool thing was our technical divers who also part of the next mission those guys are actually amazing they will they are diving for five six hours a day and their deep impression that he co can be they can be hanging that like less than 10 meters below the surface I don't know how to have given us a car go ahead Nemo this is no map okay they've seen a shark sighting what there's a shark somewhere around here I just saw something it's a little group of fish up for the new shark appear another time Rumer oh boy oh boy oh dream or a channel agreed Moray Eel this far down waving one you probably heard their voting that's fine then of the ocean report that actually not right we have actually not 100% of the a tennis court led to a revolution of five kilometer so we must implement like a really grainy image but actually host a mission like the nectar mission and to have a bit of trickery where satellite and look down at the ocean a mutant can work out the local ships in gravity we've proceeded met about 10 to 15 percent of the ocean floor to a resolution of about a certain unity however playing will man we have only ever taken total of naught point naught naught naught 1 percent of the hollows of the ocean floor so it is very much there on one of the most unexplored areas of our planet moving back away nipples appear and do back you guys we are doing survey that is why we are down at sea the ocean anything I would know enough Ramiro just taking a look at them couple affirmative in this wall here the were on the side of the right over by the cement that just rocks right right [Music] yeah only not the part of the female underwater mounted on the side of the law who do in a half hour top tonight outside Nomad cleared the top of the wall with 215 feet continue north [Music] South Side south side this is Nomad my depth is 5 0 feet 50 feet looking for final clearance for the surface here I come can I just think I'll be taking so so much done that with job I would ever forget my brother [Music]
