How deep is deep? Well the deepest place in the ocean we know of is about 11 km (36,200 ft) below the surface! How do animals survive in the dark and under extreme pressures? How do they hunt? What do they eat? Join an Ocean Wise Educator live, where we will dive into the deep and explore interesting facts of the deep sea and adaptations of the sea creatures that live there. Participants will discuss the importance of ocean exploration and ways that we can uncover the ocean’s mysteries.
