<p>Monsoon storms and fierce underwater currents continued to present a challenge at greater depths as the British-led mission began to work in earnest off the Seychelles.</p>
<p>The first transmission came from 60 meters (200 feet) down. Previous deep-sea livestreams cataloguing the world’s oceans have been via fibre-optic cable. The new broadcast uses cutting-edge wireless technology, sending video optically through the waves.</p>
<p>The Associated Press is the only news agency working with British scientists from the Nekton research team on its deep-sea mission that aims to unlock the secrets of the Indian Ocean, one of the world’s least explored areas.</p>
<p>The multi-national team of scientists is gathering data to help policy-makers frame protection and conservation measures.</p>
<p>Nekton Mission director Oliver Steeds said the experience battling the waves underlines the need to expand scientific knowledge of the waters off the island nation, which the team is there to do.</p>
<p><em>“The problem is, when it comes to this place, when it came to the currents, the last current data that was gathered before we came here was in 1882,”</em> he said. <em>“It’s part of the challenge. This is exploration.”</em></p>
