...this week's color-picture story about submersibles (see SCIENCE), the TIME team followed trails that led through Louisiana swamps, experimental labs, shipyards and under the surface of two oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. Among the special equipment they used, the most important item was an underwater camera designed by Marine Explorer Jacques Yves Cousteau, now made by Nikon and sold under the name Nikonos. It is the first camera sealed to function under water without special waterproof housing...

Though Greene is a self-admitted "amateur" at film-making, he has produced a technically superb film in view of the adverse working conditions. He had no crew and did the lighting and sound himself, while operating the camera (from electricity off his jeep battery). The color of his film is good, though some of it was not processed for three and a half months. Kodak recommends processing movie film within 24 hours after exposure...
