Top photo: Greg Stone, Larry Madin and others blue water diving, a technique to study pelagic invertebrates. We will be conducting the first surveys ever of these important open ocean invertebrates in the phoenix islands. Divers are over very deep ocean water (>15,0000 feet), the are suspended, as if in space, and tethered so they don't drift away. In this photo they are collecting sea jellies, siphonophores, and salps. © Michael Aw. Second to top photo: © Brian Skerry/National Geographic Magazine
