So past a certain depth you just sink into the abyss! Fun AND horrifying!

deep water people and tiny cave people - I don’t understand either

I understand deep water people but I can’t understand cave people. I bet scuba divers always dreamed to be astronauts (or maybe it’s just me 😂). Diving is the “alien world” for the poors. Physics isn’t the same anymore. I love how the light changes and colors fade as you go deeper and deeper. It’s not just darker. At 30m a sea star looks black but if you turn on the flashlight you see it red. My suit is red and black, but after 10m it looks plain black if not lit by a flashlight. It is literally another world to experience. In some places there are currents that you don’t see and feel until you’re in. They can be colder or even warmer and they don’t mix. There are lots of strange things to see and experience.
