A Different Kind Of Mission

If only all missions below water were to get closer to finding out more of the secrets of the earth. Some researchers are merely interested in venturing to an area where nobody else has gone before.

They wanted to venture into new waters, but also find out as much as possible about the things that can be found on the ocean floor. Some experts suggest that we know more about the other planets in our solar system than about what goes down below in our oceans.
