= ..Under the Sea, we have been mystified and

awed by tales from the deep.

Jacques Cousteau was one of the pioneers
whose excellent underwater camera work
helped make us more familiar with life in the
oceans. Recently, new technology has given
us a view of previously unexplored depths.

discovery by participating in the 1990 ver-
sion of the Jason Project which gets under-
way at the Royal British Columbia Museum
Monday, April 30. It’s the second year for the
program at the museum and organizers are
thrilled it is once again being staged here.
