Short videos of deep-sea species in Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands

These short videos aren’t new, but I ran across them again in looking up some deep-sea related information. It’s so great to be able to see the amazing deep-sea diversity in the Southeast. I’m also thankful that NOAA efforts like the Okeanos Explorer, which make videos and share images to make this world more accessible to all of us.

- 5000 meters down on the Mona seamount off Puerto Rico (2018)
- Deep-sea part of Buck Island Reef off of St. Croix (2018)
Will this take you down a rabbit hole of looking at other pictures and videos? Probably. Will I apologize for that? Nope. It’s worth it.
