DEEP begins first trial of Vanguard undersea habitat at 17 metres with four crew
U.S. undersea habitat developer DEEP has installed its test habitat Vanguard on the seabed at a depth of 17 metres in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and begun its first trial run. A four-member test crew will stay underwater for several days to check the living environment and operating systems. DEEP says the habitat is designed to enable research and work to continue directly underwater and is aimed at uses including science, monitoring and training.
