but once in a while, a critter went by. ooh! wow, that was beautiful. we are at 1,200 metres. as we went down through the water column, it became darker and darker until past 1,000 metres there are no photons that get past that layer and it is pitch black. so it is very, veryjarring . because for about 2.5 hours we see nothing but darkness, and then all of a sudden - you see the floor come up to you, the ground come. up to you. all of a sudden, you see l the earth come up to you, and it does feel like i it is coming up to you because you are - descending so quickly. and so even before seeing - any part of man made material of the ship, seeing the natural bottom of the ocean come upl at you was sort of spectacular. i mean, it was very exciting just to see dirt and mud. i wow, it was amazing, so suddenly you saw the sand come up and we were just in the debris field there and then.

if you didn t bring it with you, nobody is bringing it to you. the sounds are different, what you see is different, and i thought, more people have to go in subs. it looks like silk! oh, my god, it is getting bigger too! on the way down, we saw a layer of animals we called mesopelagic animals. a lot of those animals are bioluminescent, so you get flashes of light here and there all through the water column. we were going very fast down, so it was very difficult to see with the naked eye, but once in a while, a critter went by. ooh! wow, that was beautiful. we are at 1,200 metres. as we went down through the water column, it became darker and darker until past 1,000 metres there are no photons that get past that layer and it is pitch black. so it is very, veryjarring . because for about 2.5 hours we see nothing but darkness,
