youre the pilot

of Alvin ,

a deep-sea submersible

barely big enough for three .

Today youll investigate

the site of deadly explosions .

Many years ago

underwater volcanoes

Red-hot lava

blasted

from deep inside Earth.

An ecosystem was destroyed .

Remarkably , life returned

again and again.

Your mission :

Survey the site ,

confirm thriving life ,

and collect specimens .

What will you discover ?

Lower yourself

through Alvin s hatch.

Flip on oxygen

pssssssssssss .

Switch on carbon dioxide scrubber

zzzzzzzzhhhhhhhh .

Two scientists

squeeze between gear .

You stand and seal the sphere,

silencing the world outside .

Call Atlantis :

Hatch is shut .

Launch coordinator asks captain,

Permission to launch ?

Cleared to launch .

Alvin shudders gently when boomed out

and lowered into the Pacific

splash !

Swimmers inspect Alvin s exterior .

Surface controller calls ,

Free of ship .

Atlantis motors away .

Perform final checks .

Permission to dive ?

Granted . Swimmers clear .

8:00 a.m.

Your stomach flutters .
