Preparing to dive into the Abyss- The Abyss- BBC Wildlife

Positioned at the edge of the mid-atlantic ridge, the Abyss team prepare to dive in one of the world's only submersibles capable of diving into the pitch black deep ocean. At 2,300 metres down, the pressure begins to build and the BBC nature team are keen to discover if there is any life down in the unknown underwater world. Brilliant video from BBC natural world programme, 'The Abyss'.

what if something goes wrong and they get stuck down there??

i would be so scared to go underwater that deep

:()

[nathanbilly592]

i would love to see the freaky cretures down there man ...i wish i was the first to see the gigantic size animals that makes blue whales look like little snails

@romaniancutieandalex I guess after a given point it is indiferent if you go "that deep" since if there happens to be a problem coming fast into the surface without apropriate decompression is impossible. So after that"point of no return"it is kind of indiferent to be afraid of going so deep you can't come into surface (oxygen gets to be consumed faster the more the pressure meaning more danger the deep you go but, still, the inevitability of no escape into the surface after given point remains)

take for example the collassl squid for those who say that with the immense pressure the animals would be smaller bs!!!//the collassal squid was found in a place with no food! an the pressure was pretty intense! so i say there are stuff that eats blue whlas like a snack down there acnt till we find out what it is an how it looks :D

@nathanbilly592 wouldn't the immense pressure of going that deep dictate that the size of creatures that deep down be smaller then blue whales?

I wish discovery had more stuff like this and less bear grills...

@Achilles94627 Funny, to me it is the opposite.

[Achilles94627]

Nothing scares me more than deep water.

@edenskid @vachief what about Discovery channel? Brits ftw anyways though :-)

I'd so love to just once be able to pilot one of these deep diving submersibles without having to have a couple doctorates and six masters degrees. I guess universities gotta make their money somehow. But I'm not dead yet.
