See the Great White Sub at Aquarium of the Pacific
By Jeanne Gallagher
Long Beach, CA - Visit the new sub, and meet the “aquanauts” of
this ocean expedition during its debut at the Aquarium of the Pacific on Dec.
15 at 10 a.m.
The ocean is the last and largest unexplored place on our planet. Less than
two percent of the ocean has been explored. To shed light on this last blue
frontier, diver and researcher Scott Cassell is launching the Undersea Voyager
Project (UVP).
As part of the project Cassell and his “aquanaut” team will
travel around the world ocean, circumnavigating the Earth in a two-person
submersible. Along the way, they will interact with students on the surface via
live satellite connection. The public is invited to explore the “Great
White” sub during its debut at the Aquarium of the Pacific on December 15
at 10 a.m. The sub will be on display in the Aquarium’s Great Hall.
Cassell will discuss the details of his mission and a short video of The Great
White’s tests and sea trials will be shown.

UVP: The Undersea Voyager Project aims to
circumnavigate the globe at the 100-1,000’ ocean levels in a quest for
new knowledge. Working with scientists from around the world, these depths will
be studied for effects of pollution and threatened extinction of certain fish
species. For more information on UVP, visit www.underseavoyager.org
