Their excitement is contagious... There's some truly wonderful lifeforms down there

[@Rokz911]

who needs aliens in space when u have amazing creatures like these that live in a completly different world then us.

[@ianwhittington1276]

Well we know why...though this is beyond cool. And you're really not wrong in a sense. Perhaps in a few hundred years humanity will be revealed a shifting truth into the universe of intellectual life on other planets.

[@YourMom-lb3mt]

Am i the only one that search for sea floor because im bored ?

They talk about them as if they were some kind of wine lol

OMG lol!!! that dumbo octopus... so cute xD

[@odie-wankenodie8607]

I hope that you are doing well in 2021.

[@arenasification]

I'm a diver and the sea is the most fascinating and mysterious thing on earth.. I envy fish every time my oxygen tank is empty or hate that I can't dive as deep as I wish to go.. on the other hand it scares the shit out of me. it's a whole other world and we have no idea..

[@ivanisavich]

Gorgeous footage!

[@dunstan5980]

its interesting that he keeps saying how each of the fish is designed to do a specific thing. Most videos on NatGeo would have said it evolved to be like that.

[@i4c0gli0ni]

Gotta love British commentators. Everything is so damned lovely... you really feel like they're interested in what they're talking about.

0:40 Chimaera- Also called the rabbit fish or ghost shark. A close ancient relative of the shark. This animal has diverged from it's shark relatives 400 million years ago.

[@N0xN0ctis]

Love the dumbo :D

[@robmowatt9698]

Aren't those fish now blind because of the light? lol

[@CubanBaby585]

woo.nice how deeps is that?

[@kamkambyaping]

Oh lord! So deep! :):P

[@minghan05]

@WhiteWolf4x I would say "fishes" refers to the different species, just as "peoples" refers to the various types of people, but we all know that "people" is used as a plural to refer to more than 1 person.

[@Thaharim]

it's not that they haven't seen shadows, i think its that the fish hasn't seen its shadow in quite some time

[@Wonderwice84]

Amazing. Really don't understand how they can survive the pressure though.

[@luriomaxx]

Yeah, those beings are Cthulhu, Father Dagon and Mother Hydra

[@sriyanperera6607]

1:26 Halosaur- A strange looking Deep sea fish.

[@cree8tive]

This is truly educational, but I wonder what effect the light has on the examination of sea life. In other words, the seafloor is extremely dark, so the jarring bright white light probably stops the fish from doing what they would normally do. Would we see them in a more natural state (thus a more complete study) if you used infrared technology?

[@dss103]

yeah wat is the name of the fish with the bulb on his head? i want to see that fish

[@jaguaress9643]

Hey everyone!! Would you rather? A) be in outer space B) explore the abyssal zone I'm goin for b😉

[@a6km]

how many times did he say lovely ?

[@xenochrist15]

That that is... This extraordinary. That is, that is... That is lovely that is... GOD DAMNIT! haha

[@WhiteWolf4x]

Well as far as I've known, I've been corrected when I would say "Fishes". Idk you guys may have a different form but Fish is plural for fish.

[@AboveInShadow]

1080p..please

[@aslacuentayya]

Do you know if any of those special subs have ever spoted a giant squid????

[@Nicklan17]

@jonysuave yes I agree.We don't even know whats down there yet.

[@Bleenderhead]

@CitizenOvTheWorld Octopuses is also correct. With one S.

[@powerpimpin775]

They should dive at the bottom of lake Tahoe..

[@TheZakkattackk]

Under millions of billions of tons of water... over a mile under the abyss where only a few men have laid eyes upon the mysteries of the deep.... OMG A SHADOW!

[@BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

@BleedingSunday True that the entire ocean isn't some artistic spectacle, but I wonder if some of the creatures are frightened by the running lights from the sub?

[@peekaboorocks]

IS THAT A GLOWING FISH ?! xD

[@Primer9]

thats not a shadow ,that is another fish

@420Khatz i love their accent

Lovely was said 5 times, they are "lovely" creatures until one of the cute ones bites an arm off.

[@XpenANDpaperX]

@jonysuave maybe there r living prehistoric creatures on the sea floor :O

That's not a shadow, it's a jet

[@dumoulin11]

@larune maybe the thing ,the spaceship ,the meteorit or the laboratory that brought life seed to earth is still beneath the surface hidden from human sight . scientists should improve dramatically remote controlled explorator robots (long life batteries ,handling ability )

I wish he'd stop saying they were "designed".

[@BaguetteMan]

Have you been on the see floor before?

[@mattmaldo1]

@VOCALOIDSUCKS Honestly, I don't know what that is. I was just poking fun at the man's reaction to the sea creature.

[@crowbarska]

@JCeiver612 That's wrong. Evolution is the process is minor incremental changes, each of which is a small adaptation to a species' habitat survival threats and opportunities. There is no 'design' involved whatsoever. The word 'design' implies that there is a 'designer'.

[@TheIandian]

i think "nice" was said more frequently than lovely?^^

There are probably way bigger sea animals, we've only discovered 5% of deep seas
