South Korea Builds a Smart Submarine for Safe Deep-Sea Exploring!
The Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology is developing a small submarine capable of carrying three people to a depth of 300 meters underwater. The submarine will inspect deep-sea cables and help during ocean emergencies. To protect divers from strong water pressure, it includes a special emergency escape system. If a problem happens, the cabin can separate and float safely to the surface. The project also marks an important chapter in South Korea’s ocean exploration because the country currently imports most of its deep-sea equipment.
