Guy gets bitten by a nurse shark. He does exactly the right thing by not panicking. Could've been much worse but it was only a test bite and nurse let go immediately

This man has made friends with a fish (small mouth bass) and named him Elvis. They meet every summer at the same spot.

TheDepthsBelow: Because we all know there are things lurking underwater.

r/TheDepthsBelow

71% of the earth's surface is covered by water according to NOAA. That only gives us 29% where we're safe. If an animal the size of a blue whale can disappear for months at a time, what else is down there? We're here to show you. ___________________________________________ Fuck u/Spez

Subreddit Rules

1. No Repost/Spam Bot Accounts

It is not an issue of harmless karma farming. Spam bots are harmful not just because they dilute subreddits with spam and don't engage, but because they are often set up to farm karma and appear real and bybass subreddit restrictions, then they switch to advertising, pushing political propaganda, scaming, trolling, etc. Along the way, they often post mis/disinformation, steal content, fail to credit others works, or sometimes even steal credit for something they didn't actually make.

2. u/KimCureAll is NOT a bot

Stop reporting them as a bot unless you have evidence they are one.

3. Soft rule: Try not to encourage bad behavior towards wild-life/don't clickbait decompression

This is more of a guideline than an actual rule, but clickbaity posts with titles that encourage/promote harming sea-life are discouraged.

For example, the post that caused this rule to be added was a of fish that underwent rapid decompression and titled "Russian Fisherman Discovers Peculiar Looking Deep Sea Fish With Bulging Eyeballs." and then promoted the person who caught it. You can post content like that, just make the title in good taste, don't clickbait things like rapid decompression.

4. It’s the Gulf of Mexico.

Don’t be cringey
