Days turned into weeks as we sailed towards our destination. The ocean was a different kind of wilderness, vast and unpredictable. We encountered storms, rough seas, and the monotony of endless blue.

My interactions with the crew were professional but somewhat detached. They were focused on their scientific objectives, and I was the outsider, observing and documenting.

As we approached the deep-sea trench, the atmosphere on the ship changed. There was a sense of anticipation and tension. This was the deepest part of our expedition, the most challenging and potentially dangerous.

The submersible was named the “Abyss Explorer.” It was a cramped, spherical vessel designed to withstand immense pressure. Getting into it felt like entering a steel womb, disconnecting from the surface world.

Our first dive into the trench was planned for a few days after arriving on site. The science team had their sampling equipment, cameras, and sensors ready. My role was to be the observer and document everything from within the submersible.
