How Deep The Ocean REALLY Is

Most people don’t understand just HOW DEEP the ocean really is. If you put Mt. Everest into the water upside down, there would still be over a mile before you got to the bottom. It’s roughly the average cruising altitude of a 737 airplane! Imagine you walk off the coast into the water. Here's what you'd see...

Scariest thing that exists on this earth. Imagine yourself in complete darkness and only water for miles, with lots of weird sea creatures around you. Damn, even thinking of it gives shivers tbh.

The fact that a space mission is more safer, cheaper and efficient than a deep sea mission 💀

My father (RIP) was an oceanographer. He loved to say, "We know more about the moon's behind than the ocean's bottom." Now, decades later, he's still right.

Props to the first man for casually walking into 20m deep water.

"Deepest submarines... That we know about" I heard that one loud and clear.

"...that we know of...." Bro that's scarier than the ocean itself 💀

Horrifying to realize how close and helpless we are to the oceans deadly crushing abyss.

The more she explained how deeper the ocean is the more I felt suffocated. ...

Imagine you just chilling at the beach and you see a 10 metre tall man wearing a yellow jacket and waking into the ocean

And that's why I'm absolutely terrified of the ocean.

The deeper she went into talking about the deeper oceans, the deeper I felt in my deep heart

[scottscrab]

"The ocean is amazing"
Miss, you just described why it's so terrifying

[FusionGamin]

If you went to the proper bottom of the ocean the pressure would be so high you would explode

Subnautica taught me that 100m is deep 200m is a death sentence

[Hgdhgfdssxvbbnjoo]

The fact that the Challenger Deep was found by chance, simply by dropping a rope with a weight on it is mind blowing.

[seana]

Me- "That's pretty fascinating"
Everyone else- "10 meter tall guy"

[kells.kamuzu]

She made the ocean sound scary in a sweet way😂

I absolutely understand the depth of the ocean and that's why I keeps my ass on land
