Awesome Underwater

Bubble vs. Rocks

Bubble vs. Rocks

A scuba diver shows off not only his underwater bubble making skills, but how said bubble can be used to knock things over. Seems like this should be some sort of move in Super Scuba Fighter IV.

Octopus Camouflage

Meeting a Wolf Eeel

After his encounter with squirrely squid, Steve Backshall meets up with a gnarly looking eel. We love how he says “please don’t take my fingers off” as he puts them right in front of its mouth.

Swimming with a Humboldt Squid

Swimming with a Humboldt Squid

BBC TV host Steve Backshall handles one of the most ornery underwater creatures, the Humboldt squid. Clearly, it’s none too happy with him, as it squirts massive amounts of ink at his captor.

Shark Steals Camera

Shark Steals Camera

You’d think that divers would have learned their lesson. You never want to leave your camera for even a second when there are sharks around. Best comment: “he took it to a prawn shop.”

Diver Jim Abernethy was underwater capturing footage of a blue marlin, when out of the depths a 10-foot-long mako shark pops into the frame, giving him one serious pants-wetting moment.

Underwater Nightclub

Underwater Nightclub

Designed as a promotional stunt for TechnoMarine watches, it envisions a cool new nightclub under the Hudson River, complete with real fake jellyfish. Looks great until you need to go to the bathroom.

Jellyfish or Batman?

Jellyfish or Batman?

Neptune Canada was shooting underwater footage in the Pacific off of Vancouver when they spotted this unusual jellyfish-like creature, which transformed itself into an awfully familiar shape.

Subwing

Subwing

Like waterskis for underwater, the fiberglass Subwing lets you “fly” beneath the waves as you’re towed along by a boat on the surface. Just put on your mask, hold your breath, and go.

Fishing Under Ice

Fishing Under Ice

These Finnish divers head underwater to look for fish, capturing and sharing their adventures below the ice. It’s even more amazing once you realize where they’re standing. (Thanks, everyone!)

Underwater Egg Cracking

Underwater Egg Cracking

Ever wonder what happens when you crack a raw egg 100-feet underwater? Us neither, but these divers show the effect of the pressure levels at that depth. Oh, and that somebody wants lunch.

Christina Zenato: Shark Mistress

Christina Zenato: Shark Mistress

Shark Week’s coming up fast, but don’t believe all the media hype. As Christina Zenato here shows us, sharks aren’t really the ruthless killing machines Hollywood wants you to believe.

Sea Underwater Restaurant

Sea Underwater Restaurant

At Anantara Kihavah Villas in the Maldives, Sea’s dining room is partially submerged in the ocean, offering incredible views of sea life. The rest of the resort doesn’t look to shabby, either.

Swimming with Jellyfish

Swimming with Jellyfish

Take a bare-skinned swim through Palau’s Jellyfish Lake. How? These particular jellies haven’t had to deal with predators for thousands of years, so have lost most of their stinging ability.

Virgin Oceanic

Virgin Oceanic

Sir Richard Branson opens up his seemingly limitless checkbook to launch Virgin Oceanic, a project designed to visit the unexplored depths of our seas. He should invite James Cameron along.

Galapagos 2010

Galapagos 2010

Darek Sepiolo’s astounding video of life in the Galapagos islands had us convinced we were looking at another world. When we realized this is right here on Earth, our minds exploded.

Depth

Depth

Depth puts gamers on one of two teams: divers or sharks. Divers seek treasure, sharks try to kill them, but can only see wild thrashing or blood, making for the ultimate game of hide-and-seek.

The Manta Thief

The Manta Thief

While it’s not quite as poetic as the octopus who stole a video camera, this manta ray nabbed cameraman Travis Matteson’s Canon 5D Mark II. Luckily, the ray dropped the $5k+ camera rig.
