00:00:01.003 --> 00:00:06.823
We're in a really geologically
interesting area. One of the

2
00:00:06.823 --> 00:00:09.623
reasons why it's really
important to be exploring

3
00:00:09.623 --> 00:00:12.623
around Puerto Rico is because
the risk of earthquakes,

4
00:00:12.623 --> 00:00:15.143
because of the risk of some
submarine landslides, because

5
00:00:15.143 --> 00:00:18.063
of the risk of tsunamis. We
really need to understand

6
00:00:18.063 --> 00:00:22.063
what's happening in the
geology.

7
00:00:24.583 --> 00:00:28.643
This is quite special so in a
relatively short distance from

8
00:00:28.643 --> 00:00:32.043
shore we have all sorts of
deep-sea ecosystems and that of

9
00:00:32.043 --> 00:00:36.403
course promotes diversity. So
we we are very likely to

10
00:00:36.403 --> 00:00:42.003
actually to find lots of
biological diversity both fish

11
00:00:42.003 --> 00:00:45.003
species but also those habitat-forming species such as corals

12
00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:47.603
and sponges.

13
00:00:51.543 --> 00:00:54.963
I think we're going to see that
for most of the dives that we

14
00:00:54.963 --> 00:00:57.643
do around Puerto Rico that
there's going to be a strong

15
00:00:57.643 --> 00:01:00.523
biological component and a very
interesting geological

16
00:01:00.523 --> 00:01:03.003
component.
