This photo taken on January 12, 2026, shows submersible pilots and crew inspecting the vessel before a deep-sea mission on the OceanXplorer, a research vessel operated by the marine non-profit OceanX, in the waters off Sulawesi island. A dome-fronted submersible sinks beneath the waves off Indonesia, heading nearly 1,000 metres down to the realm of purple-frilled corals and bioluminescent shrimp. This month, AFP boarded one of two submersibles belonging to OceanX, a non-profit founded by billionaire Ray Dalio and his son that works with scientists on its OceanXplorer ship to study the marine world.
