@@fazooleq1523 it has to be attached to something mechanical for it to change directions so precisely. Doesn’t seem like some dude with a fishing rod blindingly dragging it around.
its a particular meta in the coral reef servers, the recommended level cap jumps about 20 as night hits. the support class players need to hide in the coral or disguise themselves
Whoever had the idea of dropping a GoPro in the sea off an anchored cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, well done Sir! Brilliant idea! One of the best random recommendations RU-vid ever gave me!
Barracuda are actually very curious fish. I remember snorkeling in the Florida keys with them once and many of them stared at me before swimming away. According to the swim instructors, barracudas have poor eyesight so they will approach and stare at anything that manages to catch their eye
Mainstream YT has gotten so toxic that I even miss the days of LCD Soundsystem and Drowning Pool in a lot of videos. This particular video is a breath of fresh air. Or a gulp of salt water in this case.
It might not be feasible, but how cool would it be if cruise ships had a few cameras on the hull so guests can always take a look at what's swimming around underneath them.
I was on a Caribbean cruise like 5 years ago and they have that. Right beside the map that shows you where the ship is on its journey, there’s like 6 TVs that show live feeds of cameras under the ship.
Beautiful content, well-lit, no annoying intros, no sponsored ad segments, no over the top 'reactions' or commentary, no clickbait, the thumbnail is an actual thumbnail, and under 10 minutes long? This, this right here, is what youtube was all about. Peak content.
this was way more interesting than I thought it would be. man there's something primally terrifying about seeing a shark emerge from the darkness like that
Naaa... the shark had plenty of prey around he/she would not even mind you Sharks are sometimes dangerous when you see a lot of them and very few other fish, that means you are in an area where their population is too large for the habitat and so you might cross a couple of starving ones that might start considering you Been scuba diving since 1994 👍😊
Good to know barracuda literally stalk every kind of boat and not just mine lol. It's always a bit intimidating when you jump in and they come rushing over to stare at you. I know so many people are sacred of the ocean but I find this relaxing and could watch hours of it! I love all the inquisitive fish.
This video actually makes me feel happy to know that while we're all going through our days at work, school, etc., these fish are literally just chilling.
Kinda feel like Cruise ships should just have like a dozen or so go pro's built into the hull(or maybe just dangling from strings so they could be accessed for repair or anything like that) and livestreamed constantly for the odd person who actually wants to watch it. %99 of the time is gonna be the most boring pointless stuff, but every so often they'll catch that %1 where something cool happens, and it really takes no effort from a person beyond throwing them over the edge/setting them up and pressing [LIVE].
@@nignamedmutt7270it's actually a great idea... Our oceans are less explored than the moon. We could post discover so much and see why lays in the depths
@@musiclover4life98 just know that if the splash is a shark, it didn’t eat him instantly. Sharks are skittish and they stalk their prey. They like to check things out before going for food.
@@snarkamedes not true, some fish recognize people for many years. They can have diver friends they greet and tour around with playfully time and time again. They could be just curious.
So they don't look for food then? Wtf are you talking about. Just stop dude. It's a school of fish exhibiting classic food seeking behavior. I guess fish don't need to eat anymore according to this guy. They just swim around looking for buddies to recognize over and over
@@VladV-kx6kyThey are allowed (especially in international waters, as it's unregulated and unsupervised) and some ships even throw food waste overboard, attracting different carnivores and unfortunately this habit has made sharks see ships as a food source. Don't fall off the side of a cruise ship.
I’ve been a diver since I was 12 and always loved the ocean. After separating from the army I found some work cleaning the bottom of 100+ foot boats. It was fine at first but slowly i started developing anxiety being under them. Something about the size of the propellers and how murky the water would get after scrubbing. After about a month I would enter a full fight-or-flight response the second I submerged. I quit a few months after. Awesome video though. Gave me a panic attack. 10/10.
i was born with that anxiety of being under something large haha. i cant even go under a parked car without freaking out lol. but just like you i love being under the water and diving. i once almost had a panic attack after being pushed under a friends sail boat while we were swimming by the stern 😂
I met an army diver who was telling me a similar story. He ran into a lot of stuff under boats that would creep up on him such as gigantic octopus’s, sharks, etc. You are a brave man. I have a panic attack just imagining what you described.
this video has taught me two things: 1. There is a lot more life any random part of the sea than what I could've ever imagined 2. I've never truly appreciated the size of cruise ships
@mikoajkleczewski6830are y’all always this high and mighty? Brother just asked if he might be able to help and you blow him off because you’re arrogant 😂 makes the movement look good
@@user-ns4zm8qe9p I am getting the distinct vibes that he's British and if so they all act that way. They're all just mad that the US kicked their ass in the 1700's and have to find some way to be petty still. They're some sassy mf's.
I've always heard that fish and sharks love to follow cruise ships because of the constant food that gets thrown overboard. If you notice, the second the camera hit the water, all the fish came rushing towards it.
Me with whales. I'm so scared of them especially when they get much too close to you but every time I see a video of whale encounters I'm like "hoohoo" and click on it immediately
I think it has to do with our evolution because we spent all our time on land so the deep seas are so unknown, dangerous and terrifying but our curiosity and desire to explore as humans attracts us to it
I used to catch barracuda off California on those 3/4 day cattle boats. They are fast and furious. I would throw a jig towards a bait ball, count to 10, then reel in and almost always hook up. The problem is barracudas have very sharp teeth, so you can't pump and crank else saw off your line. Just keep pressure on and crank. You also need to use 20-25 pound test mono. Wire leaders kill the jig's action. So after every 2 catches, cut and retie.
I lived in Key West and met a shop owner who showed me a 14" scar down her back from when she was kayaking in a foot and a half of water and a school of barracudas was being chased by a shark and one hit her in her back. It was going so fast it caused her rib to puncture her lung and she had no cell service so she was out in the mangroves trying to get help. She said it felt like being shot. I know they often land inside of people's boats and they have keen eyesight. They will jump around in the boat and try to come at you and bite you. They're very aggressive and not even a little afraid of humans.
I remember my dad who is a boat captain told me that an anchor of a ship isn’t what holds it in place, it’s the chain lying along the ocean floor that holds it. Pretty cool to see an example of this!
It's so weird, I'm not terrified at all seeing a shark swimming out of the darkness but the sight of the massive cruise ship from that angle underneath where it almost takes up the whole field of view and just disappears into the murky sea behind it.. it just freaks me out for some reason!
@@Coleossal absolutely the fuck not. Sorry, there’s a difference between “exploring the unknown” and delving into the ocean where we know that you’ll fuckin die if you get caught lacking for even a second. Look how well it turned out for the people in the submarine? One of the billionaires on board fancied himself an explorer, too.
@@abjak2026 Thats faulty engineering and as many oceanographers, submarine designers, Engineers have said- this kind of accident is unheard of. The company making the subs was way too careless with the engineering and used cheap materials to make a profit. The earth is 70% water. Understanding ever bit of it is necessary and to use it to our advantage as we know more. Saying otherwise is like saying to not get in an airplane because planes can crash and fly high above ground where humans dont belong either. I understand theres a fear of the unknown but thats exactly why it should be researched and have as much made known.
I love how terrifying and submechanophobic the night footage is. Just nothing but pure dark and a giant rusty steel underbelly and you’re surrounded by sharks.
Really makes you think what is just under the water as you're ten decks up sipping an umbrella drink. :-D It's a special kind of creepy wandering around the top deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean after the rest of the passengers have turned in for the night. I was on Allure of the Seas a couple of years ago (RCL) and found a dark place above the bridge where passengers were allowed. It was dark, windy, and aside from the stars and a couple of distant lights on the ship, I was in total darkness. I tried to enjoy the serenity, the stars, etc. ...but got creeped out after a couple of minutes and went back inside. LOL
Lol that’s what I miss about the cruise… I mean free buffet and ice cream machine, sure, but I can just buy ice cream or whatever food I want, but I can’t sit on a deck looking at the ocean with my wife at 3am feeling very aware of how scary it would be if we weren’t on a massive 3000 people carrier.
I don't agree, it would be absolutely awesome sitting on the deck of a ship in the middle of the ocean at night, I'd just be sitting there and smoking and drinking, looking at the beautiful stars. I just personally don't have any fear of the ocean. Also what's an umbrella drink?? I'm not really into cocktails myself, more of a Lemonade and Vodka guy.
i ve dropped the gopro many times and every time i was adjusting the costum stabilizers for the casing. I could only feel when it was touching the bottom of the sea.
I LOVE when you get to about 3 min 30 sec you can see how dark it is off in the distance & calm & still. Then out of NOWHERE that BARRACUDA came SWOOPING in on a mission 😊❤ that could've been a scene from a scary movie the way that looks. THANK YOU for the video!
Was a little scared to watch the night part, but never knew how beautiful and clear it is in those shallow waters! Amazing video! The ocean is something I’ve always been scared of because of it’s depth and how unadapted we are to it, it’s still so amazing and almost thrilling to see..thank you!
@@bofasofa9399 Fear of deep water is a pretty natural human instinct. It's kinda dumb to say "why would you be scared you aren't even there," have you never heard of horror movies? Images and videos can elicit fear in people, especially if you have some kind of phobia. I agree that sharks have an undeservedly bad reputation, but it kinda sounds like you just wanted to brag about how cool and brave you are lmao
I've never had a pronounced fear of the sea, and I'd see a lot of people going on about "thalassophobia", but from seeing so many videos like this, I think I get it. It's not even about the idea of sea creatures for me really. To me there's something quite specifically disturbing about seeing partially obscured, huge objects under the water. Every time I see a camera next to a large ship go from the surface to just under the water, there's something really unpleasant about the moment where stuff like 0:16 pops into view. I think there's something about that "membrane" between the above and the below that messes with us. It seems like bodies of water have long had spiritual significance to human beings, and I think it has something to do with that transition where above, you're in the world you know, and then below you're...somewhere else lol
I think I have that phobia because couple days ago I was thinking about the U.S.S. Arizona and how the part we can see from above the water is like only a third or a fourth of what’s under the water that we can’t see
Год назад
They're often separated: thalassophobia and submechanophobia. Thalassophobia being a more generalized fear of the ocean, while the latter is specific to manmade objects submerged
I identify with both thalassophobia and submechanophobia, and I definitely felt creeped out when the camera first dropped below the ship. But like most people, I probably don't have them at the level of clinical diagnosis of a phobia. Similarly, I've had a fear of falling to my death when I've done things like rock climbing, rappelling, and ziplining, but I still have done them, so I probably don't have acrophobia. "Phobia" means an extreme/irrational fear, while my fear of falling from high in the air is entirely rational. Likewise, when I'm out sailing, boating, or snorkeling, I'm afraid of large, potentially hazardous objects in the water, because running aground or getting hit by a boat are very real risks on the water. But it doesn't stop me from doing those things, so it's probably not a real phobia (at least, in my case).
I did my Padi Open Water on the great barrier reef. By the 3rd day I was qualified and allowed to do a night dive. Same reef that was full of light and colourful fish by day was full of huge fish and sharks by night. It was like walking through a neighbourhood that was perfectly safe during the day but super dangerous by night. Amazing experience. Terrifying, but amazing.
You really get to understand how loud a ship is when the sound resonates through the water. You can hear maintenence and such in just about every part of the video. I must admit that it has to be hard on certain critters down there
No is not tasting good is most of t the reason but our mass murder of sharks after the fictional movie Jaws (such an advanced species that we are) yeah they probably got scared of their attempted genociders
Lots of Snapper, Barracuda, and Jack Crevalle. I'd love to be able to go fishing off of a cruise ship some day. Also the shark we saw is called a Lemon shark and they're fairly polite :)
Fun fact: It is not the weight of the anchor, but rather the weight of the chain, that holds the ship in place. The anchor is just to help secure the chain.
@@ytsm I used to be in the Navy, I was a Boatswains Mate for 2 years before I changed to Intel. Linehandling and chain Defouling were my specialties lol. It's common for large commercial vessels like that to put out up to 250 meters of anchor chain, depending on the depth. That's nearly 2 1/2 football fields worth of chain, with each link weighing ~150 lbs
You’re kind of close it’s actually the weight of the chain that holds the anchor down. If there was no chain, the anchor was just lift up like it nothings holding it
really loved watching the barracuda mingle with each other and in the schools of other fish so casually. they’re always depicted as such brutal & hungry fish, so it’s just cool to see them acting like. well. normal animals
I have this irrational fear of large submerged object for some reason and I’m not sure why it it was terrifying to see the massive ship from underwater. Goosebumps and chills everywhere. Dope fish though
this is awesome, when you're on the ship the ocean is so vast and you don't really see much yet obviously know that just below the surface its teeming with life.
Wow. That was amazing. There was something about the giant chains just lying there on the seabed, and the personality the fish seemed to have as if you just caught them off guard. Incredible video 😮
@@oaklandish5104 he isnt making it move thats just the ocean moving it around. unless he actually walked along the deck but I'd be worried it would snag. almost did get stuck under the anchor chain.
@@calvinwendland8373 yeah lol like it’s just the breaking of the waves and then it’s just the same shade of black in all directions, literally makes it feel like you’re flying through space
Sharks hunt at dusk and night and they are drawn to the unusual sounds of cruise ships at those times. That poor young fool who jumped off of a much smaller cruise ship in the Bahamas and was taken by a shark immediately found out the hard way not that long ago. 🙄 The video is disturbing to say the least as you don't see the shark but the guy starts swimming away from the boat instead of towards it. He vanishes in the darkness without a sound except the shouts from passengers.
There is no evidence he was attacked, no one on the ship saw a shark or shouted out that there was a shark. The most likely situation is that he was confused and drunk, losing direction and quickly drowning in the nighttime water.
To be fair.... which or y'all is jumping into waters near a cruise ship? I'm more scared of getting caught in a mechanical accident like the engine suddenly turning on and such.
Sharks would most likely not attack if someone fell, and are relatively friendly to humans! Your biggest fear is the boat leaving while you're in the water.
But if a shark *is* looking like it's about to attack you, and you're feared or your safety, you can try to get away but punching it's snout. Try not to panic in the water either! You're better off swimming away backwards, more slowly, then you would be rushing to get away as fast as possible.
What I like about this is there's no breathing sounds and bubbles, and the fish go right up to the camera because its not a person, so it's more like a fish simulation video than a diver pov.
@@buttermilkgaia grandpa. Time to take your dementia pills. If multi million dollar films cant make cg that looks this real than i doubt this dude could. The reason it looks to so real is because it is you schizophrenic. Take this from someone who takes film classes.
My grandpa was a sailor and his ship was about to capsize once so they all jumped into the water. There was a fire and not many life boats were available only life jackets. He said he will never forget how tiny he felt in that massive ocean.
the way i went from kicking my feet in the air at the cute fishies and thinking “maybe the ocean isnt so scary after all!” in the day footage to blankly staring, terrified, at the night footage, further confirming my intense fear of the ocean
well GREG, if that IS your real name, some people find fish that look like little prehistoric gremlins with an underbite and razor-sharp teeth very adorable thank your very much!!
The quality of the camera and the pristine waters almost make everything look fake because it is so vibrant. Great video mate. I think this is how we should explore more of the 90% we haven't seen of the ocean is by dropping a camera as ships sail across. No telling what is down there! :)
@@raycavazos8927 There's not... minus some super specialized creatures. Once you get beyond the depth light penetrates (only about 1000m) life is almost non existant.
Can't stop thinking about that kid who was dared to jump off a cruise ship a few days ago. Given this nighttime footage we have here and the numerous confirmatons that sharks do actually swim near cruise ships, not only is that kid 110% Dead, they're never going to find his remains.
Sharks usually don't attack humans though. Unless they mistake you for a seal or other small mammal, are really really hungry or if they feel threatend by you.
@@aydeederix8566 also if they curious how you taste. They can make a "careful light" bite, but it will obviously result in a seeious wound/lost limb/death
@@aydeederix8566 they 100% will attack a human if that human is plopped into the water just like the food scraps they know come 24/7. They're not going to differentiate between a human and food in that situation.
05:30 is like my biggest fear. im not afraid of sharks but being deep in the ocean without seein anything and still knowing its filled with creatures surounding you.. oof.
I’ve always loved swimming and anything underwater and seeing the water’s surface from underneath and these clips make it look so cool. The night clip was astounding. Just sitting down there amidst who knows what, watching all the particles float by. Truly amazing stuff.
Omg it's so cool that the night footage even captured the diel vertical migration of the zooplankton and stuff! And the sharks appearing out of nowhere from the darkness like that is so cool! I didn't know that their eyes shone in the dark like that! I love how curious those blue fish were in the daytime and the barracuda were really curious and it's kinda cute how curious the fish are... I really loved how immersive this footage is and how calming it is to look at and listen to. I love it!
@5:15 - Those are the bow thrusters. They basically make the ship go directly left or right, or do spins to get out of ports as well as balance the ship and make it feel more normal during high seas.
@@christinae30 many meters in diameter. If bow or aft truster is started there is massive propeller inside and diver would be sucked through it and made into pulp. Big ships are extremely dangerous, all kinds of ballast water inlets and outlets too to be worried.
Yes! Thankfully for me I will never voluntarily go/swim near since I panick after 7 - 10 seconds with my head under surface (brrr). But interested in machines and mechanics.
I appreciate people like this because rather than doing stuff on the cruise, they decided to throw a gopro in the water to film the ocean, great idea and fantastic video!
Interesting to see the results of the enormous anchor chain being dragged around as the ship moves in the tides. This was an interesting video....lots of different fish, that really took me by surprise for a sand only location.
Chains dragging really destroy seabeds and the beginning of the food chain. That’s why there are so many fish aggregating there, the small Crustacea, worms etc are exposed and it’s a smorgasbord for the fish. However there will be nothing left for them soon, prawn trawler nets have an even more devastating effect on grass seabeds as they dig up the very food that Dugongs rely on.
For some reason, the open shots of the water aren't so bad for me, but seeing a large object disappear into the distance in water just triggers my monkey brain into fear 😅
I would just like to point out the difference in marine life depending on the time of day. If you ever find yourself on a cruise, do not take a bet and jump into the ocean at night, most sharks are nocturnal hunters and they are basically just waiting for you
@@cyrene7784 i don’t, however I sympathize with his story. He was intoxicated so he did what he was dared to do unfortunately. He was so young, my age actually and it was sad and chilling to hear about.
