Under-sea science

Scientists are interested in driving Gemini because although it can only dive down 50 metres, the surface of the ocean contains a lot of marine life and energy.

'The top 50 metres of the oceans represent just 1 per cent of this enormous resource, and yet produce 60 per cent of our breathable oxygen. Over half of the sun's energy is stored here and distributed across the globe.'
Simon Boxall, ocean expert
