So if you're just tuning in, we are diving to a canyon on the
edge of the Blake Plateau, the Blake Escarpment. So this is
very deep. We are at 3205 meters. Oh my god 3000 3,000
meters underwater. So, it's roughly, it's roughly eight
and a half Empire State buildings stacked end on end. That's how
deep underwater we are and I think the most abundant species
is probably these small cream-colored geodia sponges,
these little ball sponges.
There is a ton of sponges here. Sponge Heaven.
And there's been very little exploration work out here that
I think we're the first deep submergence vehicles that have
actually been able to dive on this amazing feature so it's
really exciting to be out here today.
