The sunlight filters through this clear tropical water and flashes from the bril- liant reds and yellows of the many kinds of fish. The beauty of the ocean floor with its brightly colored animals will delight y<JU as it has the biologists who have gone down many times to study this active world of living things. Some have described its beauties, others have painted its scenes, and still others have photographed the graceful forms so that everyone may now enjoy the gardens undersea. When the ^\'ater is clear and not too deep, living things in the sea can be seen through panes of glass in the bottom of a boat. Diving in a helmet has many advantages, however. And now that helmets have been perfected almost anyone can explore the shallow seas. But for exploration down to a depth of half a mile a bathysphere is used. This is a ball of steel with thick glass windows and a powerful electric.
