71% of the earth's surface is covered by water according to NOAA. That only gives us 29% where we're safe.

If an animal the size of a blue whale can disappear for months at a time, what else is down there?

We're here to show you.


Fuck u/Spez

We are a subreddit dedicated to showcasing the strange, creepy, and horrifying things that exist just below the surface of the water. If it seems like something that just shouldn't be found in the oceans, lakes, or rivers of the world, then this is where it belongs.

Happy swimming, and remember- There's always something below you.


RULES:

  1. Submissions can be real or realistic fiction- realistic fiction meaning pictures or stories of things that could be.

Please, no monsters or other things like that, we'd like to keep it as convincing as possible if you choose to post fictitious items.

  • Obviously, NSFW tags are in play. If there's bodies or gore of any kind, please be considerate.

  • Practice good reddiquette. We don't need a bunch of nonsense clogging up the comment threads.

  • This picture, this picture, and this one will get you a week long ban. Seriously, we're all tired of baby feet, rays, and shops.

  • NO POLITICS. End of story, no discussion. There's plenty of other places for you to scream into the void about your political opinions on Reddit, this is NOT one of them. I don't care what "side" you're on, keep it to yourself or you're out.

  • That's it. Five simple rules to follow.

    I’m a workclass ROV pilot working in the North Atlantic ocean, this is what I came across today.

    You all enjoyed my octopus video yesterday so I was a bit more proactive at capturing a video today for you all. We have moved location and are closer to shore, the depth I recorded this at is 28m. We have strong currents here so it is quite hard for me to pilot. But overall it was a good shift. Please note not every shift is this cool haha. I believe it’s a few groupers that I can identify and a big old turtle. I’d say the groupers are around 30kg kind of size. That turtle is massive too! I have had to add in some jellyfish emojis to cover up information that will get me in trouble with work, hope you don’t mind. If you guys want more let me know and i’ll try capturing some more marine life when I’m piloting. Got 3 weeks left until I go home.

    I’m a Workclass ROV pilot, came across this guy at 2300m depth

    I’m currently working in the North Atlantic Ocean as a workclass ROV pilot, the depth I was piloting at here was 2300m and I came across this guy. I had to stop and appreciate him.

    exploring the oceans

    hi, I've got this idea literally while I'm trying to sleep but I still think it's a good idea.

    since the percentage of explored oceans is less than 35%, I thought why don't we(who's interested in exploring the ocean) go on a mission in different parts of the ocean and each boat/ship posts their daily on the internet(youtube).

    still for this to happen it needs many volunteers who's ready to do it.
