Without water, our planet would be one of the billions of lifeless rocks floating endlessly in the vastness of the inky-black void.

No matter how remote we feel we are from the oceans, every act each one of us takes in our everyday lives affects our planet's water cycle and in return affects us.

During challenging times and when impassioned to act, human beings can be capable of miracles.

Without water, our planet would be one of the billions of lifeless rocks floating endlessly in the vastness of the inky-black void.

Mission 31 pays homage to my grandfather's work and all aquanauts who have since followed his lead in the name of ocean exploration.
