Ocean exploration is significantly limited, with only about 5% of the ocean explored. The article focuses on the challenges of exploring the "Blindspot Zone," the ocean depth between 50 and 200 meters, which is crucial for research due to its unique ecosystems and resources. Current methods like submersibles and saturation diving are expensive and limit research time. A new habitat system, called Sentinel, aims to enable sustained human presence in this zone, facilitating groundbreaking scientific discoveries and unlocking the zone's economic and cultural potential. The limitations in current exploration techniques hinder our understanding of the ocean's vast biodiversity and resources.
