[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Musique Hier, c'était ma première expérience au Submersible et j'étais en fait un peu nerveux et anxieux. Mais finalement, quand nous sommes arrivés dans le sable nous avons pu voir beaucoup d'organismes uniques.

[00:00:34] Speaker 2: Musique On a beaucoup de scientifiques qui sont très sceptiques sur les subs. Pourquoi est-ce que nous passons tant de temps et d'efforts pour avoir une capacité submersible quand on peut aller dans un RLV qui peut-être peut-être aller plus profondément ? Pratiquement sans erreur, chaque scientifique sceptique qui vient à l'entrée, qui vient d'un dive, change d'opinion et ils reviennent parce qu'ils ont une perspective totalement différente.

[00:02:17] Speaker 1: Merci.

Summary

Two speakers discuss a first-time experience in a submersible dive. Speaker 1 describes feeling nervous at first but then being amazed after reaching the seafloor and seeing many unique organisms. Speaker 2 addresses scientific skepticism about investing in submersibles versus remotely operated/other vehicles that may go deeper, noting that skeptics almost invariably change their minds after doing a dive because the direct perspective is transformative.
