I probably shouldn't have expected much from a slow board this late at night

>>19377600
I'm lurking, man.
Deep sea threafs are the comfiest shit to me.

When I was in the Navy on deployment, one time they decided to have a "Steel Beach Picnic". Pretty much a day off where they grilled burgers up on the flight deck. Well the CO decided to let some people jump off the hangar bay elevators into the ocean. They had the Seals out in the water making sure no one drowned, but that shit was intense. Just the thought of floating in the water with a massive depth below you. One of the gunners mates later told me that they had to sit on the .50cal and watch for sea snakes and shit.

>>19377621
The depth is what freaks me out so bad. I'll never fucking go out into the ocean.
Every time I think about it, I just imagine how far down it goes, and how fucking ANYTHING could be under me and I wouldn't know.
Fuck.
THAT.

>>19377605
I know, right? Even though I've been SCUBA diving before, the deep ocean terrifies me, but at the same time I'm drawn to it and the creepy shit in it

>>19377636
That's the part that scares me, I don't even like swimming in lake water that I can't see through. It would be too easy to "see" something rising from the depths below to swallow you whole, helpless. That said, I dove right next to a Continental shelf but holy shit I didn't swim near the edge

>>19377669
I dunno how you do it, man. I'd have a goddamn panic attack.
Got any cool stories to share?

Not really, it was recreational diving at popular places around St. Croix, with the shelf in question being "The Wall" in Cane Bay (I went to about 90 feet deep). I also went into a shallower ship that was torn up by a hurricane. I guess I could answer any questions, though.

What does it feel like being that deep under?

Here are some classic deep sea spooks:

The bloop:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
Mysterious noise, at first believed to be a gigantic creature before modern attempts to explain it away.

Yonaguni monument:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonaguni_Monument
Most likely an ice age era settlement with advanced stoneworking, from an era when sea levels were 110 meters lower. Further investigation would over turn widely accepted history.

Antikythera mechanism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
One of the first out of place artifacts to have its validity proven.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact

Explosive decompression:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression#Notable_decompression_accidents_and_incidents
One of the most horrifying ways to die. Some junji ito shit in real life. Being forced through a small port hole and becoming ground meat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin
>Hellevik was about to close the door between the chamber system and the trunk when the chamber explosively decompressed from a pressure of nine atmospheres to one atmosphere in a fraction of a second. One of the tenders, 32-year-old William Crammond of Great Britain, and all four of the divers were killed instantly

Blue Hole:

Really well done and captures the horror of the deep.

It's hard to describe, as it's been a few years. There wasn't really a noticeable pressure. The most noticeable thing would be how the water filters out sunlight. As you go down, shorter(?) wavelength colors like red wash out, and everything becomes more blue. You might notice that a certain kind of fish or the color of your clothes and gear change. Another thing that sticks out is something I believe is called a "thermocline," where the water is suddenly much colder, like a wall of cold.

I'll just leave this here:

Are pearl harbor battleships spooky?

>>19378020
They are when you remember what happened to their crew. Also, is not Arizona a DO NOT FUCKING DIVE HERE site?

>>19378031
>is not Arizona a DO NOT FUCKING DIVE HERE site?
It is. You can dive other pearl harbor wrecks such as the utah but not the arizona. Even when they allow official teams in they are under strict observation. I have no idea why.

>>19378070


>>19378070
My guess is it probably has something to do with UXO

>>19378093
Perhaps. But why just the one ship? As opposed to the entire site?

My guess is that it has something to do with respect as a memorial. since the arizona is where veterans can elect to have their ashes interred.

>>19378121

The dead men are still inside the ship. It's a grave and poking around it is tantamount to defiling a grave.

>>19378121
I would imagine that they don't want to fuck up the actual wreckage anymore and it's probably still very dangerous.

The USS Arizona is still an active gravesite and the military let people that survived the attack be buried (I guess you could call it that) there after their natural death. Also there's a massive fuel leak STILL occurring from the Arizona.

I don't find deep water terrifying at all, if it's clear. It's really nice, blue, and very peaceful. But the minute it gets murkey I book it to the boat. Always get the sense of "Giant fucking monster behind you"

>>19377803
Quality post. Thx.

>>19377803
Why do so many people get butthurt about the Yonaguni Monument, and all discoveries like it? There were civilizations during the Ice Age, on the coastal lands that later got flooded. What's the big deal about admitting that?

Spooky comic:
http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Abe-Sapien-Dark-and-Terrible-and-The-New-Race-of-Man

Literally any of the mike mignola abe sapien stuff. About a fishman out of place in the world who is forced into his role during the apocalypse. Some of the best comics ever made.

>>19378287
It does go against 80+ years of accepted history of the civilization of man. The very idea that civilization might have began earlier or had several false starts would overturn that.

Perhaps more importantly it is a fringe theory. No one in the field is willing to destroy their reputation to even investigate it. Even if 1 of 300 different universities could confirm or falsify the claims at the minimal cost of a few divers and a uav, merely researching a fringe topic can destroy a career.

way better spooky shit about the seas. For example this:

Not to mention all the native stories about people who began to live in the sea.

The ocean is the origin of all life. Going back far enough everything comes from there. For two billion years before there was any alternative. of course it holds some secrets. Everything we know now comes from lands that are now above the ocean.

Man, that's deep.

>>19377669
>lake water
I know that feel. Lakes in Florida, lined with cyprus trees, end up brown and visually impenetrable. The entire time I'm swimming in them, I just try to ignore the idea of a gator coming up from below (even though they don't do that). Not to mention snakes. Or, if I'm in the Suwannee, I have to worry about one of these (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon) fuckers slicing me on its way by.

>>19378319
>80+ years of accepted history of the civilization of man
you mean 80 years of well crafted propaganda? 'history' is written by the victors. anyone should know that. cast aside books, foul repositories of lies.

the truth of history lies in the stone of cities lost and the bones of all who have passed. there are no 'fringe theories' only the ideas that challenge those who wish to keep their lies imposed upon others. and the universities are filled with false jewish intellectuals whose ideas should be looked on with scorn.

>>19377468

I used to hangout with a guy who thought that we lived in a simulation. I stuck around because at the very least his theories were intriguing. One theory suggested that to truly test if we are living in a simulation is to face out into the ocean and watch the waves intensely, since the constant flow of energy causes ripples in the water, analyzing it would be extremely hard, but the glitches are there he said. He also said that when he would examine the water he became so good at spotting these hidden glitches that he could see the reflections of light sources becoming distorted, visually different from normal reflection patterns on moving waves. That is all, continue on jacking off to deep sea fish.

>>19378737
Oh yeah, where'd you learn that? Have you visited these lost cities or did you read some shit online that you thought sounded cool?

>>19378742
you should have fucked with him by dunking his head into the water when he tried that shit on you and to stop watching the matrix
>>19378744
i read some shit online that sounded cool fuck you
