About this listen

The riveting story of the history-making mission to reach the bottom of all five of the world’s oceans - the ultimate frontier of our planet.

Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, these areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach - until now.

Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a unique team of engineers and scientists, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history.

Expedition Deep Ocean reveals the marvelous and other-worldly life found in the ocean’s five deepest trenches, including several new species that have posed as of yet unanswered questions about survival and migration between oceans. Then there are the newly discovered sea mounts that cause tsunamis when they are broken by shifting tectonic plates and jammed back into the earth’s crust, something that can now be studied to predict future disasters.

Filled with high drama, adventure and the thrill of discovery, Expedition Deep Ocean celebrates courage and ingenuity and reveals the majesty and importance of the deep ocean.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Really well paced, and it had facts and cool information aplenty. Heard how hard this challenge is to achieve, but interesting on how the feat was achieved !!!! Well read and great take on the story

Interesting, and informative

narrator was like am English lesson for foreigners. also the book reads very coldly, without any emotions. It was hard for me to finish the book.

A book that reads like a schoolproject

I really wanted to love this book. I'm passionate about sea adventures and appreciate how little we know of our seas compared to space exploration. however I had to give up. the reader's voice is just too annoying and the accents unbearable.

presentation too terrible for me to finish

But sadly I think the author failed to capture the breathtaking achievements, perhaps in his national character its normal to constantly gripe about the pitfalls of the testing and development phase of an exceptional vehicle and its team.
To all involved in this endeavour I salute you.

Ok this is a fantastic achievement.

Anticipation was high for this adventure in exploration, and it's a great story. Unfortunately, I found the delivery rather wooden (although I got used to it by the end) but, at times, it was like listening to a set of company accounts read out with some silly accents.

Great story, disappointing presentation

I really enjoyed this. It’s made me go and search YouTube for videos of this amazing undertaking.

Really entertaining and fascinating

I'm always a sucker for explorers and their stories and this is the latest big one out there. If you loved Farthest North, you'll love this too.

Awesome listen!

If you're hoping this book delves into the science and discovery of these dives, then prepare to be disappointed. This is the story of the expedition behind the scenes, just about everything except details of the dives themselves. It was initially frustrating, but transpires to be a great story. Would recommend.

Not what I thought, but good

I'd been waiting for this title for a while. As an avid sea sports fan it was eagerly anticipated but even my thalasophilic enthusiasm couldn't sustain listening for more than 7 minutes 23 seconds to be exact. The narrator is truly awful. It's like listening to loud radio static. such a shame. Will watch the documentary instead

So disappointed

Was not sure what to expect. Starts off a bit slow but was really engrossing. Tale of extraordinary exploration.

Enlightening
