A couple of events happened yesterday (a call from a friend and a
BBC article) that renewed my interest in this subject
I took a closer look at the data and .... OMG .... this site is huge! (and very deep too).
The area of interest is approximately a square of almost 700x700 miles (1,100x1,100Km) with the deepest point at almost 11,000 meters ..... no way I can dive down there .... not even with the simulator
This is a big area and there is no way one can cover it all while scuba diving
So, to put the Mariana Trench into eDiving we need to break it in pieces and then scale each one of them. It looks like a good plan to me.
The first portion we are going to cover is Central Mariana Trench
The size of this area is only 250Km x 250Km ..... and the maximum depth is only 8,858.42 meters .... :? But don't worry, we are going to scale it 100:1 so you can easily dive it too.
Look forward to this new site coming to eDiving very very soon.
