China’s trio of deep-sea explorers—Fendouzhe, Shenhai Yongshi, and Jiaolong—have collectively completed 1,746 dives as of December 2025, according to the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering. This year alone, they’re set to log 314 missions, pushing the boundaries of underwater science. 🚀
🔹 Fendouzhe made waves in 2025 with China’s first manned Arctic expedition under thick ice and teamed up with global scientists in New Zealand’s Puysegur Trench. Talk about #SquadGoals! 🌏❄️
🔹 Shenhai Yongshi became an underwater Indiana Jones, uncovering archaeological secrets during 18 dives in the South China Sea. Partnering with AI-powered bots, it’s rewriting history—one shipwreck at a time. 🏺🤖
🔹 Jiaolong, the veteran of the group, continues to support critical research, proving that experience still rules the depths. 🦾
From icy Arctic waters to tropical trenches, these subs are fueling breakthroughs in marine biology, climate studies, and even cultural heritage. Who needs superheroes when you’ve got submersibles? 💥
