PRESSURISED: 060 – Mesophotic Reefs with Yi-Kai Tea

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 60, just the science, none of the waffle PRESSURISED: Mesophotic Reefs with Yi-Kai Tea | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 60

In this month's episode, we discuss mesophotic reefs, the deeper extents of coral reefs that have been overlooked in the past. It’s a wild ride that leads us to homemade hyperbaric chambers, the aquarium trade and the world’s most expensive fish. Strap in for a rollercoaster ride as we dive to the limits of scuba.
