Whats in the Marianna Tench?!

Ever wished to dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean?

Well, today is your chance to seize it!

How well can you hold your breath right now?

Not really good?

So, no need to worry.

Join me on my underwater journey by boarding my submersible vessel!

Note: This contains images of creatures of the sea that some readers may find disturbing.

Ready?

Time to dive!

Just beneath the surface, you can tell that life is thriving here right now.

There are numerous fish and aquatic creatures, and — hey there! – swimmers are waving at us.

But we won't be here much longer.

Upon reaching 65 feet, a completely new world emerges in front of you: shallow coral reefs are standing magnificently close to the water.

Hey, there are folks here once more!

This time, it's the scuba divers.

Divers without specialized equipment must contend with strong water pressure.

Even recreational scuba divers must bid us farewell at 130 feet; it's the maximally permitted for them.

Guys, be careful!

Here comes the first orca at 200 feet!

The relatively shallow waters of practically all seas and oceans across the world are home to these whales.

By the way, did you know that they are the top predators?

It implies that they have no natural opponents and that nobody can defeat them.

Whale sharks, the largest kind of fish known and capable of weighing up to 60 tons, are found at 230 feet.

Additionally, they have fairly lengthy lives—well, I suppose their livers are long, but their life expectancy is actually quite long—they may live for around 130 years.

Look outside now; if you see a diver, it's a true pro because they'll be at 330 feet below the surface.

must exercise extreme caution to avoid developing decompression sickness.

If you ascend to the surface too rapidly, it happens.

And if you're lucky, you could even get to see a gigantic Pacific octopus, which lives in chilly waters.

waters extending down to 6,600 feet and beginning at this depth.

At 490 feet, just as we approach the black portion of the ocean where just 1% of light reach us from the surface.

Water takes in everything else.

Everything that is darker will become further darker.

Ah, there!

A huge oarfish is circling our submersible at 660 feet.

There is a lot of alliteration here, but these creatures are thought to be the origin of all sightings of sea serpents.

They occasionally surface and startle swimmers and sailors.

These fish can grow to be 36 feet long, which is enough to frighten the living daylights out of me.

example.

Now that we have reached a height of 980 feet, what is that enormous, gangling object out there? It's a Japanese spider crab, I see now.

You might be wondering, "Why a spider?"

Well, just take a look at those legs, and you'll know the response on your own.

The body of such a crab is typically only 1.5 feet across, thus they are essentially just legs.

As you descend farther, you'll reach 1,640 feet, where you'll witness the last of the blue whales.

I mean, that's the deepest they can swim, so they're not truly the last of them.

They have enough of food in shallower areas, so they don't actually need to dive so far to find it, but they can.

I suppose they're just doing it to demonstrate how wonderful they are.

They are the biggest after all.

Fin whales use these vocalizations to communicate with their friends who are located far away.

Due to the SOFAR channel, also known as the Deep Sea Channel, which often begins

at 1,970 feet, however the depth varies.

In a layer of water, where sound travels at its slowest possible speed, sound waves can

go thousands of miles before going away.

At a depth of 2,723 feet, we have reached where the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world

If submerged, every building in the globe would not even have its tip visible.

We have now reached the truly fascinating area of the ocean, where unusual creatures live and no sunshine ever reaches.

One of them is a big squid, yes, the fabled kind.

It lives at a depth of 2,950 feet.

Just picture the beast with frisbee-sized eyes!

These creatures are hunted by sperm whales, but they can fight back.

What an amazing sight it would be to witness such a meeting!

At that point, complete darkness envelopes us.

The Zone of Midnight.

If you were to arrive here without a submersible, the pressure would be so intense that you would die.

You will just be destroyed in a few seconds.

And all of that without even looking.

Not the best possible situation.

West Mata, one of the world's deepest ocean volcanoes, is located at 3,600 feet in elevation.

Its most recent eruption occurred in 2009, and a remotely operated vehicle even recorded it!

We can see the fierce great white sharks, the top predators, 4,200 feet below.

feel fantastic at this depth.

They don't really require sunshine to seek down their prey because they have quite poor eyesight and they navigate by scent.

Even though I can't see you, I'll still eat you.

The largest turtles in the world, leatherbacks, also dive to the same depth.

Do they perhaps do it torment the great whites?

View those enormous nets?

That's because we've reached the 4,900-foot depth where "catch-all" fishing occurs.

approach is employed.

All that is unfortunate enough to be caught in the nets as they are dragged around the ocean floor will be caught.

You can judge how harmful this is to the marine life in this area.

If we were in the Grand Canyon, we would be seated at its lowest and deepest point at 6,000 feet.

point.

You can create the ideal image by imagining that water has completely filled all of its crevasses.

Now, if we're extremely diligent, we'll be able to see something at a depth of 6,600 feet.

the terrifying black dragonfish, which resides in the remote, gloomy regions of

the water.

And believe me, it's best to leave it there!

It like a prop from a horror film, and I'd rather it never came into contact with me.

We will bid sperm whales farewell at 7,400 feet because this is the deepest point they can get to.

They have no actual business being at such a depth, even if they can dive.

Perhaps they go after the black dragonfish, or perhaps it goes after them?

No, the size disparity is too great. sperm whales may grow to a length of 62 feet, which makes

the world's largest toothed whales;

Few species are able to combat that.

We are fortunate that our submersible has a strong lighting because without it, we would not have been able to appreciate the breathtaking splendor of the deep-sea coral reefs.

of 9,900 ft.

Every ocean has them, and it's a shame that they can't be seen without specialized deep-sea diving gear.

Moving on, we now reach the average depth of the world ocean at 12,100 feet.

The trip into the true depths starts now because the overall ocean floor has been

It's time to enter the Abyss now that the time has passed.

Given that the most terrifying animals of the deep reside here, I won't advise you to not be terrified.

lower than the Midnight Zone.

And it doesn't stop there: the pressure on the 13,100-foot upper limit of the Abyss,

is like to having an entire elephant regiment trample you.

But not that you'd have the time to experience it.

The creatures from your worst fears emerge at a height of 15,000 feet.

For instance, an anglerfish's long, crooked teeth and a protrusion on its head that attracts prey are enough to terrify anyone.

However, the creature known as the black swallower may be even more horrifying.

It is an eel-like creature with a tremendously elastic stomach that can take in prey that is large and

double in size!

I don't know about you, but if I had to see something down in the ocean, I'd rather turn out the lights.

What?

You wish to view everything?

….Okay, if you insist...

You can witness the deepest shipwreck ever discovered by looking below: Rio Grande Ship

sank in 1941 and plummeted as low as 18,900 feet in the South Atlantic.

It makes sense why it was discovered 55 years later.

We are now entering the Mariana Trench, the deepest and darkest region of the ocean.

It officially starts at a depth of roughly 19,700 feet.

For scientists and explorers, it is simultaneously the least explored and the most fascinating region.

alike.

At the bottom of it, what is there?

We'll soon see, but in the meantime, allow me to show you something else.

For instance, the snailfish, which lives in the deepest waters ever discovered, was discovered.

at 26,000 ft.

Since its body is transparent, you can see right through it.

In any case, I have to admit that I'm glad we left the lights on since this little guy is remarkably adorable for a species that can tolerate such stress.

You won't encounter any other species of fish or vertebrate animal as you descend further.

– such species just cannot handle the load.

Shrimps and other invertebrates, as well as bacteria, can, however, live even in the deepest region of the ocean.

And the Challenger Deep is that area.

It is located at the Mariana Trench's base and is 35,853 feet deep.

Yes, we have reached the very base of the planet.

There aren't many individuals who have been here, and not much is known about it yet.

However, scientists aren't going to let up, so there's a chance we'll soon learn what mysteries the ocean's depths conceal.

Who are you?

If you had the chance, would you be brave enough to explore the ocean on your own?

Give this a like and share it with your friends if you learned something new today.

The end!
