Episode 40, 17th December 2020 - This week former SUT CEO Steve Hall, SUT Publications & Communications Officer Emily Boddy, and SUT Council Member Andrew Connelly answer the listeners' questions on the underwater world with the expert help of SUT friends in various marine industries.

• How much of the seabed have we mapped? 
• What are the records for saturation diving, and is it really worth the risk? 
• What is the deepest depth a human-occupied submersible can reach? 
• How advanced is current underwater communication? 
• Ocean carbon capture - what are we doing to protect and enhance natural systems?

Thank you to our experts, Dr Helen Snaith, Martin Sayer, Geraint West, and David Vega Maza.

We'll be back over Christmas and New Year with two feature-length episodes where Steve Hall interviews ocean exploration legend Captain Don Walsh, first human, with Jacques Piccard, to reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep back in 1960.
