On May 10th, scientist Lubo, main driver Qi Haibin (middle) and co-pilot Chen Yunsai (right) dive back. On that day, the “Jiaolong” manned submersible first welcomed two internship aquanaut as the main and co-pilot diving operation, which was also the last dive in the South China Sea in the second leg of China Ocean’s 38th voyage. This potential operation task focuses on near-bottom line observation and aims at supplementary investigation, and further explores the distribution of multi-metal nodules and giant benthos in Puyuan Haishan, environmental parameter measurement and civil mechanics in-situ test were completed, and near-bottom seawater, sediment, tuberculosis and biological samples were collected.
