Four hours after leaving the surface, Yamase and Vescovo made it to the bottom and spent 2 hours exploring the eastern part of the pool, an area no human, to their knowledge, has ever been before. Then they took another 4-hour ride back up to the surface, spending a total of 10 hours underwater.<\/p>\n<p>Yamase brought down a few personal items, one being a hand-size model canoe that belongs to her father, <strong>Dennis Yamase<\/strong>, who is a <abbr>糖心视频<\/abbr> M&#257;noa <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.hawaii.edu\/\">William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> alum. The canoe represented her father being her first inspiration to pursue undergraduate and now graduate studies in marine biology. Yamase reflected, &ldquo;I\u2019ve identified as a Micronesian. The canoe also represents my mother\u2019s family from Pohnpei and Chuuk. She instilled in all her children the values of respect for others, our traditional culture and my natural surroundings, as well as an appreciation for our diverse background.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Shallow reefs connect to deep ocean<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_138503\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-138503\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/manoa-soest-challenger-deep-4-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"woman holding small canoe\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-138503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/manoa-soest-challenger-deep-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/manoa-soest-challenger-deep-4-130x73.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/manoa-soest-challenger-deep-4.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-138503\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Photo credit: Verola Media and Caladan Oceanic video footage)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yamase\u2019s research focuses on shallow-water communities, specifically macroalgae\u2014the foundation of the food web.
