Words cannot describe what your eyes see through the glass of the MIR as you expore the Bismarck. But remember nothing will be taken except photographs, videos and memories. AGENDA You will journey to the wreck of the Bismarck aboard the MIR I and MIR II submersibles, vessels capable of reaching ocean depths of 20,000 ft (6,000m) giving them the capability of visiting nearly all of the ocean floor worldwide. Housed aboard the mother ship 'Akademik Keidysh' the MIR's are part of only 5 manned deep diving submersibles available worldwide.

Explore Underwater Volcanoes

Unknown until 1493 when Christopher Columbus arrived in the Azores now you too can be an explorer! Approx. £18950.00 Near the Azores, 7,875 feet (2,400m) below the ocean surface, lie the "Rainbow Vents" a field of tall sediment chimneys in constant eruption mode. Like smokestacks, these billowing "black smokers" blast minerals several feet up into the cool Atlantic waters. Beyond its geological significance, the site is a biological "wonderland" of alien marine life. Vast colonies of white crabs blind shrimp, mussels, clams, ribbony fish and tubeworms populate the deep-ocean Ecosystem. AGENDA Your Buyagift expedition begins on dry land, where you'll first explore the lush green valleys surrounding the dormant volcanoes of the islands. Then you and your fellow travellers will be among the first adventurers to descend to the depth of the sea floor via sophisticated submersibles to view the fascinating hydrothermal vents, and to witness the birthplace of a planet. Notes MIR pilots have explored the numerous active vent fields throughout the world and in 1998 they worked in the Rainbow area. As the submersible enters the field you will soon discover the origin of the name. Shimmering patterns of superheated water abound as vents "breathe" into the cold seawater (34¦F/1¦C). Black smokers belch out plumes of dark stygian elements. Mineral deposits spewed onto the seafloor surrounding the vents offer a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour. A recent lava flow will produce "pillow lava" formations - Mother Earth's new crust, fresh from the oven. Especially important are robust and diverse life forms crowding these rare vents. Here are some of the oldest life forms on Earth, unknown to man until just two decades ago, ready to be seen and captured on film for later reflection. Only a few select scientists have ever witnessed the beauty and mystery of these deep-sea geysers up close. Without sunlight, a process known as "chemosynthesis" allows the food chain to thrive, sustaining these life forms in full darkness and under tremendous, crushing pressures. The living environment of the vents can be harsh, ranging from numbing cold to blistering hot, often only a few feet apart. Some scientists contend that it is here where life began. Now centuries later, scientists studying the sea floor along the Mid Atlantic Ocean made another ænew worldÆ discovery: a 41,000-mile (12,500km) long subsurface mountain ridge that encircles the earth. The ridge's peaks reach out of the ocean at the Azores Archipelago. Here, the planet's crust was reforming. Fuelled by volcanic activity, undersea geysers bursting plumes of superheated water from molten rock far below were proof. Planet earth was indeed "alive". Now Buyagift adventure travellers will journey to the spectacular Azores, to experience life amid the volcanoes. This adventure will last 12 days. Click here for more details.
