Right rudder, steer three-zero degrees, take her down deep and catch her at eighty fathoms. Dive, dive…
Be warned to not disturb sentinels of the deep, lest your craft witness unfortunate fates among this liquid graveyard. Clear the bridge, secure hatches and vents! Unsteady as she goes, probing depths in this silent habitat seldom seen by man. Underwater tourism for those who wish to own the world by diving beneath it.
