Submersible Dive in Antarctica

John Hocevar, Greenpeace USA's Oceans Campaigns Director and submersible pilot is seen after he and Dr Susanne Lockhart (from the California Academy of Sciences) emerge from a dive in the Erebus & Terror Gulf, in Antarctica.

The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise has returned to the Antarctic Peninsula with scientists Susanne Lockhart and Rachel Downey for a series of dives with a submersible to explore the sea floor. Greenpeace is conducting scientific research and documenting the Antarctic’s unique wildlife, to strengthen the proposal to create the largest protected area on the planet, an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.
