On July 2nd I returned to land after living 15 days underwater with Fabien Cousteau and his amazing team. All my blog posts from the mission are on this site, starting from late-spring visits to Northeastern's Marine Science facility at beautiful Nahant and preparations at MIT, to day one of training, to M31 splash down and then splash up.

MIT's Mechanical Engineering Department just produced this video with the article: Undersea living: Alumna joins Cousteau mission.  "What’s it like living on the bottom of the ocean for more than two weeks?  Nicer than you might think, according to Grace Young ."
