And then the salt falls to the bottom.

So the bottom of the Red Sea, you know, 5,000 plus meters, you end up with these, like the Dead Sea, but underwater.

So you have these lakes of heavily saline or salty water that looks different than the water above it.

And we dove in the submersible, myself and a scientist.

We went down and it was like there was a shoreline, different color.

It was like tan and browns.

You could even see waves of the Brine Lake lapping up against this shore, but we're 5,000 meters underwater.

And no one had ever gone through into the lake because the only vehicles that ever been that deep in that area were robots.

And they didn't want to lose the robots because there's a lot of heat in that salt.

The heat collects at the bottom of the ocean.

And so they don't want to lose it.

So I figured, hey, what the hell?

I'm under positive control.

Let's go diving.

And the scientist agreed with me, Dr. Jameson, who's from Scotland, so he's a good risk taker.

So we hovered over this brine lake that looked like a film of milk.

And the first time I tried to go through the barrier, I did it so slowly, the submarine bounced off of it, which is kind of unnerving.

It bounced off of it?

And, you know, I wasn't going to let it defeat me.

So I got more power.
