What kind of habitat requirements would allow a kaiju-size sea monster to exist, let alone thrive?

Assuming they'd be able to withstand intense pressures, would they be able to survive on anything but a more populous collection of giant prey species? Could they survive on large amounts of smaller fish? How populous is the deep, anyway?

most of the "impossible megafauna" that people bitch about aren't often much bigger than whales which live off krill and plankton.
Fuck yeah they're possible, not to mention smaller creepy species which could live off next to nothing.

Went cave diving once just off the coast in Florida. Didn't see anything crazy. I did see a a huge mackerel down there though and almost shit my pants when it swam past me.

I can't fucking zoom up on the Mariana Trench on Google Earth because it creeps me out.

Same with Bouvet Island, regular pics of Bouvet are A-OK it's just GE's shitty pixelation and the fact that they use different pictures mushed together.

Who else /SCUBA/ here?

I've been night diving off the coast of the Florida keys and holy shit; no sea monster image is as scary as floating in the pitch black with a weak ass flashlight.

I was on a reef, and reefs are full of fish, but at night, they hide in the coral, and all you can see out of the edges of the flashlight are glimmering fish eyes. The only really active creatures are the squid, and they move so fast they smartly you by jumping into the flashlight like moths on a porch light.

By far the scariest shit I've seen was during that night dive, when all the squid were flocking around me and the giant tentacle (like 4 feet long, 6 inches in diameter) goes right by my face and into the light before retreating.

After Noping the fuck out, I later determined that it was a green moray eel that was trying to eat the squid, but holy shit it gave me a heart attack.

I have roughly 80 dives right now in 3 different counties, so I'm more than a novice, less than an expert.

I had a dream similar to this picture once. Was fishing with my grandpa and got a bite. Was pulling hard when reeling it in blah blah. It was on the side of the boat and he took the rod while I got the net, but when I reached over the water and got down to scoop it in a massive shark came and ate the fish and bit both my arms off. I laid in the boat screaming, but my grandfather was gone. Presumably fell in and died. Then I woke up. Very similar to jaws the revenge but both my arms and a small little wooden boat. And daytime. Thanks for reading.

>>17348013
Coolest thing you've seen? Any wrecked ships or anything? Any cool pics? Assuming you're still here that is. Always wanted to try diving specifically with sharks because I've been fascinated with them ever since I was a kid.

Believe it or not, sharks are actually not that scary. I have been diving with them before (they live in tropical wrecks), and the "they are more scared of you then you are of them" is really true. I see them out in the murky distance, but whenever i try and get close, they run off. In fact, the wrecks in the Keys themselves are actually more cool then scary, and its interesting to see how all the coral has grown on it. For the most part, the ocean is just sharks and sand.

The really scary shit is in the murkier stuff. Ponds, lakes, rivers. estuaries and bayous; places you would go to hide a body. These places have signs of human life, that is more eerie than any shark.

I do volunteer cleanups in some of the local lakes, and while not exactly /deep sea/ I got some images.

No bodies, but I always expect it.

Its just that in the ocean theres a good 80 feet of visibility. some of these lakes are less than 10 ft, and we've dredged up everything from cars and mobility scooters to bicycles to fisher price kiddie cars.

Its just a bunch of stuff that you would expect to find a body with, but with we don't, or the catfish get to them first. Oh god, the catfish. You think sharks are scary? Catfish in my area are like 5 feet long and as big as I am... and they are vicious.

This one is actually a sort of sad story.

This is off the coast of saint martin and the Caribbean. The island is half french and half dutch, split right down the middle. Although all the slaves on the island were freed in 1860s, they became indentured servants to the plantation owners. This was one of the old slave ships, and in the early 1900's it hit a reef and sank. Although it wasn't a slave ship, there were a lot of people on board, and only roughly 80% made it off. The body's have long since been cleaned up, but people did die here.

I think it has something to do with the salinity. The more dense solution stays at the bottom. When some divers were swimming it caves, they would look up and see a "surface" of the water, thinking they can swim up to an air pocket, at first they would ascend and be ready to take off their mask for a breather. Nope.

The ocean is a whole lot of empty nothingness. beyond the reefs and shipwrecks, there is really nothing of interest for miles.

Tennesseefag here. I hear you on the catfish. Some of those fuckers get as big a smart car. Not a diver, but I used to go watch my uncle and his friends do their noodling shit.

You know what's really scary? People say the ocean is constantly trying to kill you when you're on it. I've had sailors, shipping crews, and everyone in between tell me that. But one captain told me what he thinks is really scary. The ocean has no interest in killing you. You don't even matter. Out there, you literally don't matter, and the ocean doesn't try to kill you, it just takes you and then forgets you ever existed.

Yeah catfish are fucking brutal. There was once a news story about a catfish that tried to swallow a basketball. He looked really silly, but these things are huge, and if they will attack a basketball, they will definitely attack a person.

Luckily, they don't really have teeth, just a sort of sandpaper-like skin on their lips, but they will ram you, try to take your regulator out, and God help you if you bring baitfish down with you

Hey man I'm back. Went out spearfishing yesterday and had one of my first genuinely paranormal experiences.
>out snorkelling around
>looking for fish
>see a HUGE black reef jacket
>it sees me
>pushes up against a rock wall like an idiot
>haha got you now bitch
>surge of water pushes some weed over it
>stay staring at that spot, waiting for surge to recede so I can see it
>water recedes and pulls back weed
>nothing there now
I spent a good 10 minutes just trying to find a hole in the rock wall to see where it would possibly have gone. There was nothing, the rock formed seamlessly into the sea bed. I would have seen it move since the weed barely covered it, and I could have sworn I could still see the outline of the fish in the weed. Not really a scary story, but it unnerved me.
Something ACTUALLY scary but not really paranormal was this-
>out enjoying my dive
>feel something tugging on the line
>fuck my float must have been washed up onto the rocks
>look above the water to see where it is
>it's nowhere near the rocks
>see the whole flag get pulled under
>fuck, I know what that means
>sharks
Now sharks are, by nature, cunts. I've gone to all the trouble to find, stalk, and shoot the fish and the assholes like to come and eat the fish straight off my float. Which is attached by a line to me gun. Which I'm holding. Once the fish are done, they will then follow the line (which smells like fish) to me. Under normal circumstances I'd go chase it away, but if it can pull the float under that means its a big shark I don't want to tangle with.
>immediately start swimming towards the boat
>feel something bump into my leg
>turn around
>FUCK
>it's a massive bull shark
>point the gun at it and draw my knife .
>I heard the day before that sharks don't like eye contact

i've pulled up some absolutely massive musky and catfish from that shit (talking near 5' long here) not to mention the fucking snapping turtles, the thought of any of them biting my toes horrified me, on top of that i used to always hear these tales of massive 6-7' long sturgeon in there, it was like having actual sea monsters in my swimming hole

went swimming in the ocean down in the dominican republic once with sharks within viewing distance and nothing but trunks on, wasn't afraid at all because the water was crystal clear and not a bit of seaweed in sight

The only real way I could see a deep sea animal getting really fucking massive is by being an incredibly efficient detritivore. Never moving and just sitting with its mouth pointing upwards, sometimes snaring passing animals with arms or tentacles of some kind, allowed to get so big because of a ridiculously slow metabolism. If monsters existed in the deep sea they would not be very active hunters, most predators down there just float around waiting for something to bump into their face.

>>17344591
And the deep is mostly empty, but there are oases of life around vents and cold seeps. Cold seeps go on for a long time, but most vents don't live longer than a few decades tops, so wouldn't be a reliable food source for something large and presumably long lived, being so fleeting and sparsely dispersed.

A question about protecting oneself from these creatures of the eternal dark.

Do those knives with an O2 canister inside which are designed for bear protection and cause an internal explosion when used against them suitable for underwater use?

It's got to be better protection than just a diving knife.

A reminder that the giant squid are already attacking US navy ships.

>She is noteworthy as a U.S. Navy vessel that has apparently been attacked by an unknown species of giant squid. In 1978, the "NOFOUL" rubber coating of her AN/SQS-26 sonar dome was damaged by multiple cuts over 8 percent of the dome surface. Nearly all of the cuts contained remnants of sharp, curved claws found on the rims of suction cups of some squid tentacles. The claws were much larger than those of any squid that had been discovered at that time.[3]

You're 75% right. Cephalopoda, meaning it's a cephalopod. It's closer do an octopus than a squid due to its 8 appendages(same super order as octopi). Order, suborder, and family are all unique, however. This is because of its unique retractile sensory filaments(shorter versions of a squids longer arms) which is why it's called a vampire SQUID.

The Deep by Nick Cutter is awesome, it takes place in a research facility in the Challenger Deep. It'll really make you feel claustrophobic.

If what I've read about those are true then he'd be dead within a few seconds of falling in there.

>>17362092
Why would he be dead? Do you think that picture is fake or something?

Not deep, but tsunami footage is fucking scary. The 2011 Japan Tsunami was everywhere because of social networking taking off like a motherfucker, but that late 90s early 2000s era where we had the internet but it wasn't nearly as widespread as it would be just a few short years later leaves a lot of gaps in our consciousness of disasters like the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It makes it more unsettling in my opinion.

>>17362095
IF he fell in there. Apparently that underwater river in particular is filled with heavy acidic compounds which will fuck up his equipment and then skin rather quickly. The photo is real and he's not 'in' the river just above it. He found out later that it was actually a death trap and was glad he didn't decide to do some exploring from what I remember.

>>17362128
I see. Where did you get this acid stuff from? It doesn't say in the wiki

>>17362148
It was some article that I now can't find. It could probably have been bullshit but I'm fairly certain there was something about that river that was dangerous/toxic that he could have died from but didn't because he had the good sense to not go in it. I'll keep looking but I doubt I'm gonna find anything at this rate.

There was footage going around the other week of a small canal here in the sunshine coast, about 4ft deep at the absolute most, and it had like 5 bull sharks swimming together in it.

I thought it was he got grabbed in some sort of fast-moving current and disoriented such that (in the dark) he kept going down thinking he was surfacing?

>>17359120
That's somehow even more terrifying. It's completely dark and you bump into something that you think is a rock wall.

I don't have any spooky stories unless you count flagrant incompetence and drunken idiots spooky.

The whole pressure thing freaks me out, like this. It's from a diving bell accident.

>Coward, Lucas, and Bergersen were exposed to the effects of explosive decompression and died in the positions indicated by the diagram. Subsequent investigation by forensic pathologists determined Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) in diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of the thoracoabdominal cavity which further resulted in expulsion of all internal organs of the chest and abdomen except the trachea and a section of small intestine and of the thoracic spine and projecting them some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

I went snorkelling in this blue hole in the bahamas. It's 110 feet straight down and once you hit bottom it opens up into a huge underwater cave system.

I obviously only skimmed around on the surface, but if you go deep around 30 feet there is a layer of sulfide gas suspended in the water that makes it look red.

Honestly pretty terrifying to swim in knowing that you're just in blackness suspended 110 feet above a giant hole.

What scared the shit out of me was thinking what would happen if there was a huge chamber that was not filled with water which suddenly broke turning the entire sink hole into a fucking massive whirlpool. That would scare me. Whirlpools freak me out too.

>>17366993

LOL

>>17355824
There are Blues on the edge of the dams on the Mississippi, particularly Dubuque, that grow over 5 feet. They can release an electric charge enough to stun fish, and I've seen fuckers bringing them to the surface well over 7 feet, but can never land em cause they get right pissed in shallow water.

A current pulled him downwards. He was at a depth where you need nitrox, it has more nitrogen.

Has more oxygen, not nitrogen

>>17370743
Also incorrect. Nitrox refers to any gas which contains both nitrogen and oxygen, in ANY quantities higher than trace.

For the record, you were closer to right the first time. Going deeper means you want more nitrogen.

>>17360356
The Meg Series by Steve Alten is more action than horror, but still a very good read.The Loch by Alten as well is about the loch ness monster, but a realistic what if scenario. I recommend both if you like the ocean and the giant things that want to kill you that live inside of it.

On a similar topic about the ocean, even though it's meant for the preteen reading level, Dark Life by Kat Falls is a decent read.
