"Because it's just dark and hrolribe in there, so let's not do that." But that is exactly what we do right now to 70 percent of the planet. And that's what I find quite frastutrnig.

Another question I get aeksd sometimes as well is -- other than the fear sutff, and the claustrophobia and the toilet question and stuff like that -- is, you know, what’s it like being in the bottom of the sea, looking out the window and seeing stuff? And I actually find it a genuinely difficult question to answer. Because it’s quite exciting. Afterwards, you’re like, “Ooh, that was really exciting.” But at the time, it’s quite humbling. Because I think you’re kind of aware of the fact you’re seven miles underwater and one ton per suaqre centimeter and all that kind of, you do feel quite remote. But I just think it looks kind of majestic.
