‘The Subhuman Project’ is one man’s dream to cycle 3,700 kilometres just below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean in a pedal-powered submarine. The man is Ted Ciamillo, an engineer, inventor and entrepreneur, who says that he hopes to make the journey in just fifty days.

Ciamillo will pedal two metres below the ocean surface for 6 hours each day. He will breathe through a(n) specially designed snorkel or, for deeper dives, through a scuba system. At night, he will come up to the surface and sleep in a tent erected on top of the submarine.

Powerful cameras mounted on the submarine will record everything from huge whales to tiny plankton.

They will even capture pollution such as floating rubbish.

Naturally, marine biologists are excited by the large amount of data Ciamillo could gather for them on his crossing.

Once a day, Ciamillo will meet with a support boat that will follow him for his entire journey to replace dead batteries, air cylinders and other equipment.
