I couldn't agree more... there's just SO much to discover. *and in a very depressing tone* if it doesn't all die out first... humans are so careless... but we've already had that discussion...

Typically found around continental and island slopes, typically 200 m to at least average ocean depth of 4,000 m. See http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=156 for our page on Architeuthis dux, the Giant squid.

"Extending a sea ethic would mean recognizing the ocean’s importance to the continued existence of life on our planet and to human futures. From this recognition would flow an appropriate sense of moral imperative, commitment, and urgency—urgency toward ending overfishing and wasteful bycatch and aggressively rebuilding depleted ocean wildlife populations, stabilizing human effects on world climate, slowing habitat destruction, stemming global transport and accidental introduction of "alien" species, curbing the flow of contaminants and trash, developing sustainable seafood farming, cultivating an informed approach to the seafood marketplace, and implementing networks of protected areas in the sea." - Dr. Carl Safina

It sure is, I'm not sure how long they held their breath, you might google Audrey Mestre and Pipin Ferreras to see how long exactly. It's in the 3-5 minute range for sure.marine_bio_shark wrote:wow

Freedivers use no equipment other than a weighted sled on a rope during competitions, weights, mask, flippers, and wetsuit.... Check out the movie the "Big Blue" for details, great flick and a scuba cult classic. It has some of the best shots of the ocean I've yet seen on film.marine_bio_shark wrote:o and what kind of equipment do they use??

I saw that movie in French Club... the president and I spent the entire film identifying species of dolphins. *sidetrack, but amusing nevertheless*
