From a young age, I've always been fascinated by the sea, even though I've never had a chance to visit. Still, I would not set one toe in the water ever. Not just sharks, but all the zillions of other things in the water waiting to eat, bite, sting, or otherwise fuck you up. Pic related, these motherfuckers right here. Jellies of any kind are one of Nature's cruelest tricks, but especially these invisible, hurts-worse-than-you-can-imagine little bitches.

>>17318982
Ah , the candiru! That's not them though.

As a regular free diver/scuba diver I have some interesting stories to tell if anyone is interested. I was even attached by a Humboldt squid once.

>>17319586
Definitely, please proceed Anon!

>Humboldt squid are some of the largest of the squids, growing up to 1.5 metres in length and 50kg
>as the name suggests they live in the Humboldt current, but they do drift a fair bit
>they are known to be aggressive towards humans.
So I was on a small cruise around the Galapagos islands, and we were doing a lot of snorkelling. Mostly it was off the small shallow coasts of the smaller islands, but one snorkelling stop we were taken way out to a reef drop off. We were only given 15 minutes to look around and it was recommended that only strong swimmers get in due to depth, the current, and the possible need to get quickly into a boat if the sharks start getting frisky. So the water is pretty clear and I'm having a good time diving 20-30 feet down and finding crabs and fish and shit in the drop off walls, when about 10 minutes in everything goes bananas. I was at the surface looking around when something SLAMS into me from the side, knocking me belly-up so I start taking on water from my snorkel in panic. As I'm coughing it slams into me again, right into the small of my back. This does have the effect of righting me so I can actually see what's going on. This big fucking squid (probably 1.3 metres, i was told it was about 45 kgs) then reverses, wrapping its tentacles around my arm and biting small chunks out of my hand. I still have some scars that never properly healed from the punctures it gave me. Anyway I don't really know what to do since I don't have a dive knife or anything, so I basically grabbed it with my free hand and squeezed and twisted and shit, and the squid lets go and runs off. At this point I was pretty fucking scared so I wasn't looking at anything, but I see the squid charge at me again, coming basically straight along the surface. As its about two metres away, it was yanked out of the water by a shark hook wielded by two guys in a zodiac and thrown about 10 metres. I quickly got onto the boat, and I've been terrified of them ever since

>>17319670
Shit just watched a vid about them, fucking mean things. Good story anymore please Anon?

Whale sharks are like nurse sharks anon, pretty much harmless

>>17319722
Thanks Anon. Those groupers are scary enough OUT of water and dead, let alone alive and swimming about. I saw that Australian fisherman dude hook one in Miami when he was after a (bull?) shark that had been attacking swimmers. Fucking behemoths. They're the ones with the spikes on the dorsal fin, am I right?

>>17319776
Yeah that's it. They get up to 2.5 metres long, but the one I saw was only about 1.5. The larger ones WILL attack divers if they are bigger than them, but it's unusual for a smaller one to attack, let alone chase.

>>17317972
I think you would be safe even swimming inside of it. It would want to spit you out and there is plenty to hold on to.

>>17319808
That's still fuckin' big dude! In the video I mentioned the bloke had a proper harness, the heaviest line etc, everything for shark hunting and it was ragging him all over for about an hour and a quarter all told, I think. Fuck. Encountering one of them, AND a moray eel, AND some scary-toothed little fishies?--rather you than me mate, rather you than me.
Then again every Australian I've ever met has been a fucking nutter-in a good way, you understand. I guess you're used to nature actively wanting to murder you, or something?!

>>17319834
Yeah they're fucking heavy, you need all sorts of crazy gear to fish for them. Don't get me wrong it's still one of the biggest fish I've ever seen, but it's not a monster for that species. The moray freaked me out because I just generally don't like eels. They're all weird and undulating and gross. The thing about the fishes wasn't so much their faces but the behavior. Fish are by nature flighty, so to have a large school floating still when I was right near them, and when there are predators like grouper around its really bizarre.
And its not so much that I'm used to everything wanting to attack me, mostly marine life. As I said I'm an experienced diver, and I'm a keen spearfisherman at home so I'm fairly well versed on fish and marine life behaviors. So im rarely concerned about fish, even aggressive ones because I know how to act on the safest way

>>17317901

those are big tentacles

>>17318716

those exist everywhere really, result of ancient acid rain digging a hole over millions of years into limestone, they actually expand inside and are bottle-shaped. They exist only in the sea since on land they get eroded and cave in

Until you accidentally get swallowed up.
You think it's gonna spit you out cause it accidentally ate you?
What if you just float in when it's swimming, you can't exactly swim right out of its mouth.

Horrifying, but also amazing. These deep sea threads are all usually the same, so thanks for sharing your stories.

>They never really worried me before that, but now squid in general freak me right out.

After seeing what a normally more passive or "harmless" octopus can do to a diver simply by latching onto it like a Facehugger, the much more aggressive squid would scare me, even without being attacked. Reason #52 of why I would never swim in the ocean ever.

>>17321137

>>17321137

>>17321582
Now worries, I'm more than happy to share a few more stories of my own, and some I've heard from mates if you want.
And it's possibly because I've lived on the coast all my life, but I definitely feel that the ocean is so much more interesting than it is scary, so I can't imagine just never setting foot in it. It's also probably that I've experienced most of the oceans dangers from sharks to sea lions, so I'm not really scared of those things anymore. It's actually pretty weird that the most aggressive creature I've encountered was that squid.

>>17320011 There was a point when I was younger when every single dream would end in me falling into open water and some big black thing rushing at me would make me wake up.
Stopped me sleeping a lot.

I'm also >>17318803 and as a kid, I couldn't read enough about the ocean and all its fascinating creatures, even the creepy ones. I still have some old seashell collections, though since I live nowhere near the ocean, it's mostly cheap stuff bought from stores or gifted to me by relatives. But I'm still an overly cautious person who can't swim very well, and the thought of jellies, sharks, blue-ringed octopi, squid, eels, and other various harmful creatures creeps me out way too much to ever get in the water.

It seems like that, but nah.
The wounds were significantly bigger than that, but it happened several years ago so everything has reduced on size. I also had pretty thick dive gloves on which would have stopped or literally shedding my hand, so it only got a few bites in.

To me this is the creepiest pic on this entire thread. I don't give a shit if some big ass shark is fuckin about, I couldn't care less about some noodly ass jelly fish. I'm more scared of the corpse of a giant octopus than when it's alive. What kills me about the depth is just the sheer lack of direction, the lack of guidance. I'm afraid of getting lost in the sea. Lost so deep that i'm almost trapped. When you see a sunken ship, or you see the corpse of an animal, you know that this environment alone has the potential to end you; to end your existence, and that something or someone was there before you. they're dead now. it's nothing new to the dead, only the living.

>>17324149
Look you're right to be wary of them because they're poisonous as fuck, but you don't really need to be scared. I've only seen about 5 in my 20 years of living at the beach and scrounging in rock pools.

There's a video on youtube of a diver retelling his attack by three or four Humboldt squids. One grabbed his tanks and yanked him back so hard it dislocated it's shoulder, he was bitten on the wrist with such force it broke it in five places and, scariest, one pulled him down into the depths so fast his EARDRUM IMPLODED. He knew he was going to die at this point so he just did everything to fight them off and was able to get to the boat and hang on but they came back after him so his mates had to hit 'em with poles to enable the guy to get into the boat safely. Fuckin' scary shit. Will try to find it again if anyone's interested. BTW I'm >>17319834 cheers for the OC Diverdude!

>>17324341
Yeah they're fucking crazy. I'm thankful it wasn't full size, and it was probably sick or half dead or something. I have no doubt a full strength one would have fucked me up more. Shit, if there hadn't been anyone else there to help me i don't know what would have happened.

Oh, okay. Would you want to do it for a job or d'ya think that'd "kill" the love you have for the sea a bit, know what I mean? Or would diving be your dream job? Also, was it you who said you have a phobia of underwater wrecks/machinery?

Regarding the squid attack, shit, you got lucky I think man. On that video I mentioned about the diver whose eardrum imploded there ws some footage of a Humboldt squid with that fucking beak scissoring in and out rapidly...sheeit.

For me personally I think diving for a job would kind of kill it. I like going out because I can choose to avoid the bad weather or shit vis to make sure I have mostly positive experiences. And yeah I suffer a bit from submechanophobia, which is the irrational fear of man made objects in the sea. Not so much that I'm physically incapable of being near wrecks and stuff, but I just get a really eerie, creeped out feeling around them, particularly large wrecks. As such I never really got into wreck diving.
And yeah, looking back on it I realise just how lucky I am to have escaped the squid encounter with barely any damage. These days I just don't feel right diving without a knife. I know there are no Humboldt squid near australia, but its still a comfort.

Did it look like this? I'm asking for general shape now, they are rather diverse in colour, outline, size and texture.

What you just described sounds like a pyrosome or a siphonophore.

Pretty interesting animals, each tube (colony) is built of individuals (zooids), which evolved to fit different functions each - there are feeding zooids, breeding zooids, etc. - these creatures developed some sort of meta-multicellularity.

Yeah it could have been a pyrosome, but it would have been a record breaking sized one. As I said it was 8 feet wide and at least 20 feet long. It also seemed to be solid, not hollow, but it could have been a trick of the water flow.

Some sort of sedative or an anti-nausea thing like Dramamine. Make sure you check all warnings and instructions before you mix or down a bunch of shit, though. Bring an mp3 player too and don't sit near the window. Close your eyes and chill. You could optionally watch an in-flight movie, but they usually suck and it might make you motion sick or strain your neck if you can't see it well. I can't remember because I rarely fly and I've never had the problems you do.

>>17327564
Then we eat them like we do everything else in the sea. Merfish 'n chips. Merfin soup. Fillet o' mermanlet.

And if that doesn't work, breeding with their women might teach them a thing or two. In fact, I hear the Japanese are already getting started. >>17325550

This is kind of an odd question and I don't know if you're going to come back to this thread but:

Have you had any experience with spirits or demons? Have you used a Ouija board or ever tried to contact spirits. This is a relevant question.

If you have provoked demonic entities in any way, they could follow you. I know very few people believe and understand them but they're real. And if you are a target then it is not unusual for demons to enter the bodies of animals to provoke you. It may explain why you have two separate occasions of very weird animal behavior.

Some other options could be your pheromones or that you're full of shit.......

Yeah when I was like 11 some girls brought a ouija board into school and were playing with it, and me and a couple of other guys just went and fucked with it by moving the token over to "no" and making it spell "rude words". I seriously doubt that's got anything to do with it. And it's not pheromones, its called "I've spent a fuckload of time in and around the ocean". Most experienced divers and snorkelers have many stories of weird behaviours, or about being attacked by animals. The exact same species of fish placed into two different reefs will develop completely different behaviors. It just freaks me out because it's not the behavior I'm expecting. The oceans are relatively unexplored and undocumented. Theres so much crazy shit that goes on it that we never see, or bother to look for, so it makes sense that people will experience some weird stuff. It's not demons.

No stories or anything like that, but i just wanna say, ive noticed, my 2 biggest fears are the ocean, and the dark. idk about whats necessarily "in" there, but because in the dark, and the ocean, youre completely vulnerable. In the ocean, you are fucked. everything that lives there, E V E R Y T H I N G, is better at moving in the water than you are. you rely on going to the top. in the dark is a little different, you have footing, you rely on other senses, but in the ocean, it can be considered worse. you can see the shit ( assuming youre on the surface). Ive always been fascinated by the ocean, and that will never change. but there is no way in hell im going past my chest on the beach.

I'm sure he meant "rarely", typo or autocorrect.

When I was a kid, the Royal British Columbia Museum had a fantastic and horrifying exhibit about the ocean's depths that involved a series of videos that told a fictional story about a bathysphere exploring the deep deep Pacific Ocean. The story begins with everything going all cool "oh look, jellyfish, how beautiful!" "Oh, a shark, haha, can't touch me "
Then the guy's line beaks and he just goes complete FREEFALL into the Pacific Ocean, and then he hits the bottom and the pressure starts to crack the thing apart
Kind of a fucked up way to start off the exhibit, I must say

I can't recall any specific dream, but for the past five or so years my dreams almost always seem to have very similar set ups. I'm either standing on the shore of a body of water or standing on a bridge overlooking one. There is always something swimming just below the surface. Just close enough to make a "shadow" but evidently in deep enough to be unable to make out any details aside from it's great length from above. Sometimes large quantities of dead fish are also present. In one dream I recall the dead fish actually acting like platforms which I tried to cross for some reason.

I had many where I was in full scuba gear just sinking into an abyss I would look down and see massive shapes moving through underneath me and that was it for a long time in complete scilence. I always get a little spooked whenever I dive now.

can someone that big sleeps in a world like we live in? I don't think this any building has been that big

Sauropods could possibly reach bigger size, and maybe they did - see Amphicoelias - but the remains of these giants are extremely poorly preserved, because the bigger an animal is, the harder it is for it to fossilise and so in these cases we are usually left with something like a single vertebra instead of say, entire skeleton.

The question is still open.

Bloop.

Don't shit your pants yet though, because it was probably an icequake.

>>17332234
It's far to big to exist, the amount of food required would be huge. I think the Bloop was put down to volcanic activity

blue whale is the largest animal that has ever existed fucktard.

>>17331968
Actually, they ain't very chill. They're actually responsible for more human deaths than killer whales. They like to fuck with people and have been known to grab divers and drag them to their deaths, even if they don't seem to eat them.

I wish I had the video they showed us at school, where the eskimos were out hunting, capsized one of their boats, and the sperm whale bit two of them in half.

...Granted, I don't expect them to be chill when yer chucking spears at them.

You're thinking of pilot whales.

>...Granted, I don't expect them to be chill when yer chucking spears at them.

Obviously.

There is really no way that a land animal can become as massive as a blue whale
There MAY have been sauropods LONGER than a blue whale, sure, but the blue whale will certainly be the most massive animal. Chances are it's very close to the largest an animal can even get on this planet.

None of this really bothered me until they showed how the little jaw comes forward and snaps the prey, in this case his thumb, in half. If I were him I'd be thankful the thumb got severed cuz if I learned that an alien eel jaw bit my finger I'd cut it off myself

Looks like we hit the thread limit too. Most deep sea threads feel the same after so long, but this was a good one.
