I find that while many of the shown discoverys are plausebal i would have liked some insigt on the Professors understandings as a hole and there original thoughts and theories, personaly i find that aspately the densety of modern day Technology is the main challange when it comes to deep sea explorations.
I would have also liked a more detailed presentation on how the deep sea creatures warry in biological next to the ones closer to the surface, I belive that what we could find basedon sayed diverentses could leed to a far more complex understanding and help build better Equipment for explorations.

Please excuse my writing as I am from Germany english is not my first language.
