Manned submersible Jiaolong has made its latest test dive. It will set off from Jiangyin port in Jiangsu province on Monday.

15 scientists on board will conduct a series of studies on the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean seabed, including maritime biodiversity. It will return to China 110 days later.

In June last year, Jiaolong reached a depth of 7,062 meters in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific.
