The deep submergence vehicle SHINKAI 6500 is scheduled to dive 5,000-meters deep in the ocean for purely scientific research purposes. The scientific exploration will be fully broadcast live on the Internet. Let's go to the exciting and thrilling cutting-edge research on an unknown world togethers.


A deep-sea hydrothermal vent area is located at the Cayman Rise in the Caribbean Sea at a depth of 5,000 meters, which is said to be the deepest hydrothermal area in the world. The temperature of the hot water spewing from the seafloor was found to be over 400 degrees Celsius. Scientists would like to find out together with you if organisms can survive in such an extreme hydrothermal environment. The expedition team is trying to figure out the limit of life and studying symbiosis with bacteria and other ecological characteristics in extreme environments.
