"What's down there?"

Humans have been asking this question, and working to answer it, for thousands of years, from sponge divers to bridge builders to treasure hunters and scientists. They invented diving bells, caissons, air pumps, rebreathers, bathyspheres, aqua-lungs, and eventually the modern scuba suit.

The page about the Challenger Deep changes from a horizontal (landscape) orientation to a vertical (portrait) orientation, to emphasize the depth. Back matter includes more information about "our precious oceans" and diving, fun facts, a glossary, and sources. Author's note.

Beautifully presented; fascinating.
