Into the cave !!!. This photo shows the size of this cavity that I discovered the week before. I am at the bottom of the cave, 75 meters deep and my friend Olivier is under the ceiling which must be located ten meters above me. This cave is of Karstic type. It was certainly created when the level of the oceans was much lower. At that time, this cavity was in the open air. Mayotte

The SS Dunraven, a ship powered by sail and steam, was built in Newcastle and launched on December 14, 1872. Three years later, in January 1876, she sailed from Liverpool, loaded with steel and timber bound for Bombay. There the cargo was sold and reloaded with spices, cotton and muslin for the return journey. On April 25, the ship ran aground on a reef outside Sha'ab Mahmoud, now part of the Ras Muhammad National Park (Raas Mohammed).

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Getting ready to enter the water on a practice dive in the ocean offshore from Key Largo is Nick Patrick. He is a member of the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations 6 (NEEMO-6) mission team. The others are astronauts John Herrington, mission commander, and Doug Wheelock, plus Tara Ruttley, a biomedical engineer. The NEEMO-6 mission involves exposing an astronaut/scientist crew to a real mission experience in an extreme environment - the NOAA undersea station Aquarius - to prepare for future space flight. Spacewalk-like diving excursions and field-tests on a variety of biomedical equipment are designed to help astronauts living aboard the International Space Station. To prepare for their 10-day stay, the team had dive training twice a day at the Life Support Buoy, anchored above Aquarius.
