Can attest that this is one of the most amazing dives on the planet.

One of the captains at Jack's often plays Pink Floyd ( ! ) when coming up into the boat, which only adds to the other world atmosphere. Black seas, black sky, with only stars above - but now you know what's in the water below you.

Like any diving, check for water conditions, as this one in particular is best done when the sea is calm.

Beautiful unfamiliar fishes

The Donner Party really wasn't that great of a party, was it?

Just like those who explore the universe, those who take these dives and those that research what's living in our oceans see the most wonderful and beautiful things that we don't know much about. For a time they might be inexplicable but at the same time, extraordinarily beautiful. Thank you, Rob, these are stunning images.

Beautiful photography!

Over 60% of our planet is covered by water more than a mile deep. The deep sea is the largest habitat on earth and is largely unexplored. More people have traveled into space than have traveled to the deep ocean realm.... - The Blue Planet Seas of Life
