    Episode 173 DEEP Making Humans Aquatic

    Episode 173 DEEP Making Humans Aquatic

    Gemma and Ian visited DEEP and were hosted by Phil Short, Research Diving, Training Lead.  We were given a tour of the facility at Avonmouth and then over to the Campus at Tidenham.
    DEEP is evolving how humans access, explore and inhabit underwater environments. Through flexible, modular and mobile subsea habitats that allow humans to live undersea up to 200m for up to 28 days, work-class submarines, and advanced human performance research, DEEP completely transforms what we are capable of underwater and how we conduct undersea science and research.
