A team of 4 scientific divers led by Laurent Ballesta will live for 28 days in a bathyal station compressed between 7 and 13 times the earth’s atmosphere. They will use a new diving technique developed especially for this expedition, a mixture of saturation diving and autonomous diving with an electronic rebreather. Between Marseille and Monaco, 21 sites (-60 to -144 m) will be explored through scientific protocols proposed by about fifteen researchers. Listening to sounds, samples (environmental DNA, sediment, animals and plants), photos, gas measuring bells are used to study the rich biodiversity of coralligenous reefs, these unique limestone reefs built by algae. Does their great depth, despite their proximity to the coast, protect them from the impacts of our human activities?
