Testing My Thalassophobia Diving in the Open Ocean (at Night)

I test my thalassophobia by scuba diving in the open ocean during the day and at night, in search of strange pelagic sea creatures that call the blue home. We find shoaling fish and open-water predators hanging around fish aggregating devices, and tons of small critters on the mooring lines. But the strangest creatures emerge at night, when trillions of planktonic jellyfish, siphonophores, salps, crustaceans, and juvenile fish rise from the deep ocean to feed as part of the diel vertical migration. If you’ve got thalassophobia, good luck watching this video. _____________________ I’m exploring the remotest and deepest parts of the ocean and showing you all the best bits.
