See exactly what the glider sees during this video montage from a glider test dive. In the first part of the video, the glider is launched from the zodiac, then it travels to a depth of three meters, and finally surfaces. As the glider prepares to surface you can hear the sound of the pump changing the buoyancy.

    The camera is so clear! It’s amazing how ingenious and simple these gliders are. And to think of all the discoveries that will be made because of them!
