From the publisher's website:

2-4 players descend to the ocean's floor to investigate an upcropping of mysterious crystals. If your team can gather the most information, they get to keep their position... in the Aquasphere. In this design from Stefan Feld, you will do research, gather crystals, expand your lab, and remove pesky octopods from the equipment. Every turn, you must either program a robot to help you with a specific task, or use a previously programmed bot to carry out a task. Moving around the station costs valuable time, so you may want to build some submarines to facilitate getting from place to place. AquaSphere is a challenging and visually appealing game of strategy and tactics with different paths to victory that requires planning in advance as well as skillful use of short-term opportunities.
