Exploring the deepest realms of the world’s oceans

Our oceans hide a myriad of worlds. From trenches that are deeper than our tallest mountains, to volcanoes and thermal vents teeming with life, how do we explore what lies beneath?

Join oceanographer and renowned explorer Captain Don Walsh, undersea explorer Victor Vescovo and submarine engineer Patrick Lahey, as they recount their experiences of diving to the deepest points on Earth.

In this conversation, chaired by Helen, discover the challenges of visiting such depths and the panel's vision for the future of deep ocean exploration.

This Royal Institution event will take place in the Faraday theatre:

The Royal Institution of Great Britain, 21 Albermarle Street, London.
