Mission 31 is go, go, go!
The winners were chosen, the aquanauts have departed, the quest for science continues…
On 1 June, Fabien Cousteau and his team of underwater adventurers splashed down in their new home, 20 meters below sea-level, just off Key Largo.
The winners of the Mission 31 competition – Garnik Sevoyan and Emir Dzumhur – impressed Fabien enough with their entries (below) to join the intrepid aquanauts in the Aquarius research lab.

Also trained for the life aquatic is a range of Lumia devices, which are now helping the crew with their research; such as this custom underwater housing for the Lumia 1020, which has helped to capture some truly magnificent sub-marine shots (see below).
