Bookroo's summary

Learn about the fascinating creatures inhabiting various sea levels and the groundbreaking technology that makes these discoveries possible. Perfect for aspiring marine biologists, this adventure reveals the secrets of the deep, dark sea.

From the publisher

The surface of the moon is more familiar to us than the deep sea of our own planet. Many oceanographers are trying to change that. To explore the deep sea, they climb into submersibles and employ ROVs to find out more about the ocean and ocean floor. Gail Gibbons invites readers along for a journey to the deep sea, explaining the technology for exploration and the kinds of animals found at different sea levels.
