30 cases when the ocean unexpectedly surprised (31 photos)

The depths of the oceans are less well-studied than the starry sky. This is no exaggeration: maps of Mars are more accurate than most maps of the Earth's seabed. It's amazing, because water covers 70% of our planet. And every trip to the coast is a great opportunity to discover something new. And these swimmers have discovered many amazing things: from creepy underwater statues to creatures that look like they're straight out of a sci-fi movie.
