That was cool, thanks for sharing.

Lost about $25M down around the twilight zone a few years back.

I guess HPNS will do that! ;)

Not many people have successfully returned from 600+ foot dives. My full cave instructor got pretty fucked up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAIeCbUGrHY) on a 700ft dive, thankfully HPNS wasn't worse otherwise he would've been done. Dude is a former Royal Marine that fought in the Falklands, and a fantastic technical instructor.

Aaand, now I have a Golden Earring earworm...

...not that that's a bad thing.

If you write a book I'll read it.

You know you’re too deep when strange fish start offering you candy.

Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

I have some underwater time sport diving. I only recall a couple times I was a bit, uh, nervous. Off Cayman, on the wall, just doing a typical 2 tank dive on air, first one around 124' fsw. I was hovering against the coral, taking my time looking at all the critters on my left, while on my right I saw a glimpse of some big pelagic swoosh by. Not sure what it was. I recall a dark shape and fins and flippers and all.

I was more occupied with ensuring my BC was kept inflated against the rising pressure as I descended so I was neutral. I think my DM told me the max depth at that point was 4,000 fsw or something like that. So I didn't, really, want to spend much time beyond the wall, and swam back over the formation.

I miss being in the water. I think I was a fish in a former life.

Yeah well, that's okay.

I scrolled all the way to the bottom. I thought for sure the last caption was going to say "Epstein didn't kill himself."

Cool anyway, though.

pretty sure polar bears can't dive that deep

pretty sure polar bears can't dive that deep

“In this particular case, van Meurs and Stirling recorded the polar bear reaching a dive depth of somewhere between 45 and 50 meters (147.6 and 164 feet).”

I was thinking that the only thing that could have made that page better would be that Rick Astley music vid at the bottom.

I don't know if you guys will already have seen because it got a bit of viral traction a year or two back but this but there's an instagram account which is just this Russian guy who works on a deep sea trawler taking pictures of the weird stuff they pull up:

When I was a kid there was a big exhibit about the deep ocean at the Royal BC Museum, and I went and saw it many times. Some of that deep sea stuff is pretty fascinating. It's amazing to think how much of it there is - I mean not only is the surface of the earth mostly ocean, but practically every living thing on land is literally on the surface. It's basically a two-dimensional space, but the ocean isn't just what's on the surface; it's all the three-dimensional space it occupies, all the way down.

I mean I guess of course I spend a lot of time on the water so for me it's easy to be enthralled by it but you forget just how much totally alien space is down there.

I thought they'd have Megatron down at the bottom. 'Course he did escape.

I've always found the unknown fascinating. Whether it's light years away, or a half mile below our feet.
