Scuba Science: Smithsonian Scientist Michael Lang

Smithsonian Scientific Diving Officer Michael Lang dives in incredible places all over the world--including the chilly waters of Antarctica, home to the blubbery Weddell Seal and fascinating, alien-like invertebrates. His job is to train and certify all Smithsonian scientists who need to dive underwater as part of their research. His training allows them to monitor coastal environments, collect specimens, and take samples that ultimately teach us about the health of our planet.

Very interesting video :-) The waters are so clear! Is this stuff that a Marine Biologist would do?
