SUBMERSIBLES • Deep floor exploration • Dr. Gallo • deep sea dive • more to explore • ALVIN • in a submersiblejonathan bird 16 minour deep ocean
SHORT HISTORYSUBMERSIBLES • Average depth of ocean is 3,700m. • Deepest Scuba dive is about 135m • Scuba limitation: cold, pressure • REALLY • little better? • crazy
TIME LINE • 1934 Dr. William Beebe reached a depth of 1000 meters in a steel chamber called a Bathysphere ( fits 2 people).
TIME LINE • 10 min video
In 1960 a Swiss team of Auguste and Jacques Piccard, made the deepest dive in a submersible (bathyscaphe) to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (10,852 meters- 4 hrs.).

1964 - Alvin is a submersible that has logged in over 4,400 dives to date. It holds a crew of 3. history of alvin • VENTS
1966- ALVIN recovered hydrogen bomb • Investigates hydrothermal vents • Submersable discoveries • barrel eye • discoveries COOL SUBS On 17 March 1966, Alvin was used to locate a submerged 1.45-megaton hydrogen bomb lost in a United States Air Forcemidair accident over Palomares, Spain. The bomb, found resting nearly 910 metres (2,990 ft) deep, was raised intact on 7 April

REVIEW • Challenger deep in Mariana Trench – deepest part of our ocean 7 miles deep • Found 350km SW of Guam • Navy used explosives to find location of challenger deep – real-time echos to map ocean floor • Beebe logged 40 dives in Bathysophere • Cameron – 2nd man to dive 7 miles (challenger deep) • Deepest scuba dive 1044ft. • Alvin discovered: Hydrogen bomb, Titanic, and Hydrothermal vents • Extremophiles – organisms living under extreme conditions Ex. Tube worms/shrimp by hydrothermal vents
1979 -Dr. Sylvia Earle holds the record for the deepest solo dive- 380 meters. (1246.72ft) in a Jim Suit
New Suit (2 Min) • The JIM suit is an atmospheric diving suit (ADS) • One Man Suit
Dr. Earle Dive (7min) • Dr. Earle and deep sea diving (2 min) • Dr. Earle and exploration 11 min • #Cool creature (sea Pigs) • #Oar fish • ROV 2 min • submersible – whale • If you don't want water (other end of extreme)
Types of Underwater Vehicles HOV’s – Human operated vehicles (like Alvin) ROV’s – Remote Operated Vehicles • Are tethered to ship AUV’s – Autonomous Underwater vehicles robots pre-programmed to collect data Hybrid Vehicles – combine ROV’s with AUV’s cooll deep sea species
ROV and sperm whale • sample collection • Dead whale? • Dancer?
Cool eruption • exploring underwater lava

JASON • Robot connected by cables from a surface ship WHAT JASON SEES 35 SEC
Why were scuba divers not used to locate the resting place of the Titanic? 12,500ft
Sonar • Sonar stands for sound navigation and ranging. • Sonar uses a beam of sound waves directed downward • Sound wave will bounce off and return back causing an echo. • Image of bottom or object is created

Summary The development of advanced technology, in the form of submersibles, robot vehicles, and sonar equipment has opened up the fields of Marine Biology and Oceanography in a way we could never have imagined!
