[@itzelpretzel]

I hope Marcus Leitner provides us with some more beautiful ambient music, this was peaceful and relaxing.

What is that thing floating near the middle of the screen at 19:20?

[@MBARIvideo]

Great spotting! That is a sinking pyrosome (looks dead). Here's what a live one looks like close up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqizpp6Cqs2hiNU

Check out this cruise log in which MBARI scientist Jim Barry talks about how sinking animals, also called a food fall, provides deep-sea life with a feast to dine on: www.mbari.org/seafloor-ecology-winter-expedition-2019/

@@MBARIvideo Thanks! I almost thought it was a floating piece of plastic. I'm glad that wasn't the case.

[@mktbaby]

[@CharlesCammock]

[@WanderTheNomad]

24:39 yeesh, I've said this before, but the movement of floating crinoids are creepy

[@AuspexAstarte]

Wait what I didn’t expect there to be so many!

[@Khazar321]

Just 150m or 500 feet, not thaaaat deep.

[@AuspexAstarte]

@@Khazar321 oooooo

[@therealslimsmitty8370]

Those are indeed fish

[@WanderTheNomad]

I wonder how the fish decide to move. A majority of them move as a group, but some on the outskirts seem to move randomly.

[@俊王-f5z]

cool

[@WanderTheNomad]

Seems more hypnotizing than meditative.

Is the light hurt deep creatures

[@AuspexAstarte]

I think they wouldn’t do this if they knew it does any real damage

[@MBARIvideo]

The light may cause the animals to behave differently than they would in the dark. Some animals are attracted to the light while others will stay away from it. The light form the ROV only illuminates a few meters into the water around it, so many animals that would prefer to avoid the light, do!

FISHY FISHY FISHY

[@WildBillCox13]

I think of water as a low energy environment. To watch the quick, agile, flashing of fish is to give that idea the lie.

[@briseboy]

Low energy? Just be on a reef during tide change, or surfing. Or just observing young stingrays and other chondroicthyes bolting out of sand when startled. Or spinner dolphins passing. Or skip Ing along on a sailboard startling the buzzing Catalinas arcing down the wind , escaping through the air.. Or watching a shark snap her tail out of the depths to hit lunch. A massive raft of seals returning, he seabird fog of so many diving to pick up anchovies. No low energy when a big whale surfaces too close for you to respond, and you only abls to paddle in surprise with your hands. Low energy is in the benzodiapines of the beholder.

Well, i DO miss the clicks, pops, buzzes of real life with face underwater. These are lively sounds, and the human noise replacing them is intrusive, even if it is profitable to sell it to youtube content creators. CA, btw, has some massive number of rockfish/scorpionfish species, and entire field guide thicker than a bird guide. I have it somewhere on shelf, though, it cannot be easily used when swimming at the common depths of those like the benthic guy in the vid.

[@ugandahater]

Nahh this ain't relaxing at all. Nope .
