The Discovery Channel will broadcast live a presentation from the bottom of the Belize Blue Hole this coming weekend.
The presentation will be hosted by Marine Biologist Luke Tipple and will cover the voyage of a submersible to the bottom of the blue hole. Onboard the submersible will be Billionaire Sir Richard Branson and Fabien Cousteau, with Erika Bergman piloting the submersible.
There will be an additional submersible in the water providing additional lighting, which would allow the first crew and viewers at home to see as much as possible from the bottom of the Blue Hole.
The expedition is not just a television stunt; the vessels will carry on exploring the 318m/1,043ft-wide, 124-meter/407-foot-deep Blue Hole for two weeks. The data collected will help create an accurate geographical model of the Blue Hole, and will give scientists around the world the opportunity to study how climate change over the years affected its formation and growth.
The event will be broadcast on Sunday, December 2, 2018, from 4 to 6 p.m. ET/1 to 3 p.m. PT/9pm to 11 pm UTC.
