Hamish Tweed & Sherri Ferguson, MSc discuss the physiological issues that affect divers at great depths, in front of the Hyper/Hypobaric Chamber at Simon Fraser University. There is still a lot to learn about how we react to these extreme environments.

With towering delicate structures composed of living silica growing on the darkness of the seafloor, #GlassSponges are notoriously difficult to study — and convince people to care about.

Director & Editor Nate J Slaco at work on Salt Spring Island.
We were lucky enough to spend time at acclaimed naturalist Briony Penn's home for a week to wrap our heads around the story in the early days of editing. It was a beautiful time.
