Marine ExplorationbyMateo Cammarota

Snorkeling is one of the ways to explore life in the ocean.

Snorkeling equipment consists of four things.Diving maskSnorkel

Wetsuit

Flippers

Using snorkeling equipment, a swimmer is observing the ocean creatures living on a coral reef.

Scuba diving is a way for us to explore the ocean free of restriction from the surface.

Scuba gear consists of three primary things.Compass, depth recorder, and pressure gauge

Here a scuba diver is exploring a coral reef over 20ft. below the surface which is far too deep for a snorkeler.

Deep-Sea submersibles are a way for us to study the mysterious world of the deep ocean without being crushed by the tremendous pressure of the ocean.

The Alvin is just one of dozens of deep-sea submersibles.

The Nereid is a deep sea submersible used to collect samples from the deep. The equipment it uses is common in most submersibles.

Submersibles are slowly lowered from the ships deck into the water by a robotic arm.

After being released into the water, the submersible then slowly descends deep into the ocean.

Deep beneath the ocean, the water is dark and murky, reducing visibility as you can see.

View portals allow us to see the amazing life deep below the surface from the comfort of the submersible.

The deep sea has been and still is a mystery to us. It is only recently that we have been able to explore the deep. In fact, the vast majority of life in the deep sea has yet to be discovered.
