Because sea lions are the jokers of the ocean, this is a video of a pinniped exiting the ocean and climbing the stairs to a resort pool, where it takes a dip before chasing a man out of his lounge chair. THAT’S MY CHAIR, TOURIST! It then proceeds to rub
This is a video of a couple divers from the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (stay away from the triangle!) cracking an egg at a depth of around 60-feet to see how the yolk and white respond at that pressure. It was pretty cool to watch I suppose. Even cooler
Because apparently under the sea anything goes, this is a video of diver Patrick Seligman allowing a Pacific cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinesis) to clean his teeth off the coast of Maui. Pacific cleaner shrimp have developed a symbiotic relationship with many marine fish, being compensated for their cleaning services with

These are several videos of an aquarium that Cincinatti, Ohio resident Mellisa Krieger commissioned custom tank builder Aquatics and Exotics to construct that allows her cats Jasper the Catfish and Willow to stick their heads up inside to observe their subaquatic friends. That’s cool. But can I fit my head
