We’ve charted the stars more thoroughly than the sea. And that’s not an exaggeration—we actually have better maps of Mars than we do of most of Earth’s seafloor. Which is pretty wild, considering water covers 70% of our planet.
That means every trip to the coast holds the chance to discover something new. And these curious ocean-goers did just that, stumbling upon everything from eerie underwater statues to creatures that look straight out of a sci-fi movie.
Scroll down to explore their fascinating finds—you might be surprised by what’s been hiding beneath the surface.
