of Aquarius
Backed by billionaire philan-
thropists and Silicon Valley
venture capitalists, a wave
of upstart entrepreneurs are
developing high-tech,
low-cost technologies to
explore the watery realms
we still barely under-
stand. Are the oceans
fi nally getting their
moon-shot moment?

Immersion
The compelling virtual
worlds in big-budget
games like Red Dead
Redemption 2 and
World of Warcraft can
become an addictive
substitute for actually
going outside. But

Reefer Madness panic:
the same technology is
being used to open up a
vast new world of active
adventure. BY DAVID

Expedition kayaker
Scott Lindgren knocked
off descents of the most
remote and dangerous
rivers on earth, from
the Tsangpo to the
White Nile. He paddled
with an aggro attitude
and saw weakness as
an unforgivable trait
in himself and others.
But when a brain tumor
started to derail his
athletic performance
and threaten his life,
everything changed.
