Chief Navy Diver Daniel Jackson, of the US Navy Reserve Deep Submergence Unit, dived in a newly developed hardsuit. Previous designs have been limited to about 370m.
'I had topside turn off all the lights, and it was like a star show,' he is reported to have said of the life at 2000m. 'The phosphorescence that was naturally in the water and in most of the sea life down there started to glow.' |
