An interview is presented with marine biologist Rhian Waller about her experiences learning to scuba dive in order to study a species of corals in fjords in Alaska. She discusses the challenges of diving in extremely cold water with fast currents, describes a dive with poor visibility, and explains her research on red tree corals and their importance to the deep-sea ecosystem.
