Having previously spotted a red balloon squid, this is a video from the ROV Hercules chancing upon a rarely seen Bathykorus jellyfish, that resembles a facehugger from the Alien franchise. This is only the second time the jellyfish has been caught on film, the first being in 2015. That’s cool,

This is some footage from the remote operated submersible Hercules captured while exploring Kingman Reef in the Central Pacific of an octopus of the subfamily Bolitaeninae that looks like a red balloon. The only thing missing is Pennywise holding it on a string and trying to convince me to hang

In other cruise ship news, this is a full 3D scan of the Titanic, created using over 700,000 individual stills of the wreckage, where it’s rested in its watery grave some 2+ miles deep in the Atlantic Ocean since 1912. The scan is the largest deep-water 3D project to date,

It’s the first fish documented at a depth of over 8,000 meters, with these spotted at 8,336 meters. That’s deep!

This is a video of photographer and diver Ian Haggerty going about making an omelet just about the wrongest way possible and cracking an egg 12 meters (~39 feet) underwater to see the effect the water pressure will have on it. The results may surprise you! Especially if you expected
