Last night Tom & I had the privilege of attending a lecture by a living lengend, Dr. Eugenie Clark, at the Mote Special Lecture Series. She shared amazing slides and facinating stories of her many dives with the world's largest undersea creatures. The finale was a video of a rare octopus that lives between 1,000 and 12,000 feet, dancing and swirling around the window of her submersible.
Next week you can hear the man who was aboard the bathyscape Trieste when it made a record-breaking descent into the deepest point in the world's oceans. The depth was measured at 35,798 ft (10,911 m).
The leture series is on Monday nights at Mote in the Immersion Cinema. Following is the schedule:
