Take a look at 1000 metres below the surface!

We have a deep water camera system that can capture images 5,500 metres in a vertical drop (stationary ship), or 4,000 metres when it’s being towed at around 1-2 knots.
This video has been pulled together by the Australian Museum and shows what it looks like at 1,000 metres below the ocean’s surface, and it was captured on board RV Investigator during the benthic biology trial voyage.
