I love those little shrimp with the big whiskers that clean shark teeth

They are missing out. The ocean is amazing. Going beneath the surface is like taking a hike in an alien world.

Interestingly, they probably have the same opinion on big noses.

I was scuba diving once under a jetty and saw a shiny metal object. I wasn’t too sure what it was so I got closer and it looked like a trophy or something. Then I read the front of it, it was an urn! My thoughts were that it was someone’s dying wish to be in the “deep blue” not realising that it’s actually quite populated with life.

Most people I’ve met have the same sentiment, they just think of it as some ethereal thing, rather than a thriving and crazy ecosystem.

Never found out what the deal was about the urn but the local news ran an article on it a couple of weeks later and I got a chuckle

I’m the opposite, kinda. I love reading about and seeing pictures or videos of weird sea life, but I can’t see a future in which you’d catch me in the water. The scene in Finding Nemo with the naval mines killed any desire I had to go scuba diving.
