00:00:05.812 --> 00:00:11.040
Over 95 percent of the inhabitable volume of the planet is the water column,

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.850
so really helpful to be able to come out and image these animals.

00:00:23.498 --> 00:00:27.210
So, today we're diving in the Jarvis Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.

00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:31.470
This is one of the few units of the monument where the water column is protected in addition to the seafloor.

00:00:37.261 --> 00:00:43.520
Pretty much everything about the ocean here is quite under-sampled, but in particular, these water column areas.

00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:50.310
Are probably the first dives like this that have ever been done, so this is a really neat opportunity to see what's out here.
