Close to 5900 feet.

Not sure on the white things, they looked pretty limp and flexible. He dropped one. It was sitting on the seafloor
when I came across it, so maybe those are something it was eating. It's pretty barren down that deep in the gulf,
and a lot of animals are scavengers.

We were there for another reason, but I got a minute and a half of video and stuck some freaky music on it. That thing is real interesting to watch, the way it swims.

Wow that's deep!

I take it was jelly-like? Can you post the video? You know how I am about pics and vidoeo - more, more, more.

I-Dive he works on one of those thing-a-ma-bobs - nvm I will let him tell you :)
 
5900 feet of what? QUOTE]

Water.

It's easier with an ROV. No need for the cement shoes.

Unfortunately I can't post the video. I have it on my laptop,
though. Couldn't come home without it.
 
Reef,

You're dragging knee through a turn on a crotch rocket and proclaim "No stunters, punks, or yahoo's aloud<sic>"??? :)

Reef, ???? :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::D


HM - well if you are in town we have a killer event going on the Sat after TG. You'll find the link in my sig. :) btw, how was that thing swimming? Was it pulsating like a jelly or fluidly moving?
 
It moves that capelike part. It's pretty cool.

There are a few variations of animals that have something like a cape that moves, but this one is by far the coolest I've seen. The body is shaped a little too much like a frozen chicken, though. :)

There is another one that's named after the puckered orifice in the middle of it's forehead. Let me be careful with the ToS here. :) I don't remember the latin name, but everyone at work just calls it a flying @$$hole! One variation of that sucker looks like it's made out of pink corduroy. (I know I spelled that wrong!) (corduroy, that is...not @SShole!)
