1,753 views 1 year ago

Dive #1349 of the Shinkai6500, 21 June 2013, was the first manned mission to the world's deepest known undersea volcanic vents: the Beebe Vent Field, ~5 km m (~3.1 miles) deep in the Cayman Trough of the Caribbean Sea. For further details, see http://www.theguardian.com/...

Aboard the sub were pilot Yoshitaka Sasaki, co-pilot Yudai Tayama, and UK scientist Dr Jon Copley (University of Southampton).

The dive took place during expedition YK 13-05 of the research ship RV Yokosuka, led by Prof Ken Takai of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), as part of the QUELLE 2013 ("Quest for the Limit of Life") round-the-world voyage of the ship. Show less
