From snorkeling to freediving, scuba, and submarines, discover the different technologies scientists use to explore the ocean in this deep-sea STEM picture book.
How does ocean exploration work? What kinds of machines and equipment help researchers under the sea? How deep can we dive to find out more about the plants and animals that live in the ocean? For fans of Alvin from Flying Deep, Diving Deep introduces the ways humans have figured out how to engage with, explore, and learn from the oceans. (Charlesbridge, June 14, 2022).

Flying Deep by Michelle Cusolito and Nicole Wong
“A deep dive into wonder, discovery, and adventure that will transform young readers into young scientists.”
Climb aboard Alvin, the famous deep-sea submersible credited with helping to find the Titanic, and take a trip two miles down to the bottom of the ocean.
Experience a day in the life of an Alvin pilot and join scientists at the seafloor to collect samples and conduct research. Along the way, discover what one wears, eats, and talks about during a typical eight-hour trip in a underwater craft and find out more about the animals that live deep in our oceans. Extensive back matter explains how Alvin works, describes the author's research, and includes a glossary and further reading. (Charlesbridge, 2018)
