Deep Sea, Deep Secrets



Cover of the movie: Deep Sea, Deep Secrets

This movie is very informative about how far engineering has come and how many amazing creatures are in the deepest, darkest parts of the world.  This documentary is the most interesting to me out of all of the others that we have seen so far during this course.  The amazing technology and the incredible animals of nature that have been discovered are very intriguing.


The Alvin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The Alvin was compared to NASA's space program and shuttle as synonymous to the danger and technology used. The Alvin is the Ocean Explorer that can plunge to a maximum depth of 14,764 feet. This submersible explorer of the ocean can withstand the crushing pressure for 72 hours and then the crew must return to the surface to share their samples and findings obtained at the deepest parts of the ocean.
