The problem is barracudas have very sharp teeth, so you can't pump and crank else saw off your line. Just keep pressure on and crank. You also need to use 20-25 pound test mono.

@@abjak2026 Thats faulty engineering and as many oceanographers, submarine designers, Engineers have said- this kind of accident is unheard of. The company making the subs was way too careless with the engineering and used cheap materials to make a profit. The earth is 70% water. Understanding ever bit of it is necessary and to use it to our advantage as we know more. Saying otherwise is like saying to not get in an airplane because planes can crash and fly high above ground where humans dont belong either. I understand theres a fear of the unknown but thats exactly why it should be researched and have as much made known.

Really makes you think what is just under the water as you're ten decks up sipping an umbrella drink. :-D It's a special kind of creepy wandering around the top deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean after the rest of the passengers have turned in for the night. I was on Allure of the Seas a couple of years ago (RCL) and found a dark place above the bridge where passengers were allowed. It was dark, windy, and aside from the stars and a couple of distant lights on the ship, I was in total darkness. I tried to enjoy the serenity, the stars, etc. ...but got creeped out after a couple of minutes and went back inside. LOL

[@Mypenisissmallbut]

[@tommeakin1732]

I've never had a pronounced fear of the sea, and I'd see a lot of people going on about "thalassophobia", but from seeing so many videos like this, I think I get it. It's not even about the idea of sea creatures for me really. To me there's something quite specifically disturbing about seeing partially obscured, huge objects under the water. Every time I see a camera next to a large ship go from the surface to just under the water, there's something really unpleasant about the moment where stuff like 0:16 pops into view. I think there's something about that "membrane" between the above and the below that messes with us. It seems like bodies of water have long had spiritual significance to human beings, and I think it has something to do with that transition where above, you're in the world you know, and then below you're...somewhere else lol

[@t_rex1299]

I think I have that phobia because couple days ago I was thinking about the U.S.S. Arizona and how the part we can see from above the water is like only a third or a fourth of what’s under the water that we can’t see

They're often separated: thalassophobia and submechanophobia. Thalassophobia being a more generalized fear of the ocean, while the latter is specific to manmade objects submerged

[@IHateAnime_]

This sounds like submechanophobia, I have it too. Along with Thalassophobia.

[@feeline1120]

You put this feeling very well into words!

[@CHChris]

I identify with both thalassophobia and submechanophobia, and I definitely felt creeped out when the camera first dropped below the ship. But like most people, I probably don't have them at the level of clinical diagnosis of a phobia. Similarly, I've had a fear of falling to my death when I've done things like rock climbing, rappelling, and ziplining, but I still have done them, so I probably don't have acrophobia. "Phobia" means an extreme/irrational fear, while my fear of falling from high in the air is entirely rational. Likewise, when I'm out sailing, boating, or snorkeling, I'm afraid of large, potentially hazardous objects in the water, because running aground or getting hit by a boat are very real risks on the water. But it doesn't stop me from doing those things, so it's probably not a real phobia (at least, in my case).

Sharks hunt at dusk and night and they are drawn to the unusual sounds of cruise ships at those times. That poor young fool who jumped off of a much smaller cruise ship in the Bahamas and was taken by a shark immediately found out the hard way not that long ago. 🙄 The video is disturbing to say the least as you don't see the shark but the guy starts swimming away from the boat instead of towards it. He vanishes in the darkness without a sound except the shouts from passengers.

[@jprior1427]

There is no evidence he was attacked, no one on the ship saw a shark or shouted out that there was a shark. The most likely situation is that he was confused and drunk, losing direction and quickly drowning in the nighttime water.
