You panic, rise to the surface, and swim to the shore. Trembling. Terrified.

The submersible DeepSee hovers nearly 600-feet deep over the caldera of an ancient dormant volcano on the seamount Las Gemelas located 500-miles off the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. This expedition took Dr. Greg Stone and me to depths of nearly 500-meters to explore the Las Gemelas seamount. While most National Geographic expeditions take about 2 years to complete my story on seamounts took 4 bringing me to places I barely thought…

In 1860, a chance find at sea forever changed our understanding of marine habitats, sparking an unprecedented push to explore a new world of possibilities far below the surface of our planet’s oceans. Deep sea life, previously thought possible down to a maximum depth of 1,800 feet, was found in the form of creatures attached to a transatlantic telegraph cable. Raised
