DSSV Pressure Drop

Deep Submersible Support Vessel for the crewed deep-ocean research submersible DSV Limiting Factor.
In late December 2021, the DSV Limiting Factor was exploring the Philippine Trench when it caught video images of a creature at a depth of 6,212 meters (20,381 ft).
The animal was later identified ne as a magnapinnid, also known as a bigfin squid. This was the deepest sighting ever of a squid.

Yikes, how was that squid not squished?

I like the angle here - you've caught the sunlight as it shows up the ship's hull...very nicely done!

It seems incredible that can go underwater. A great capture of this interesting ship. V

Such lovely shades of blue - and what a beautiful boat - how exciting the work for them must be ! V

A wonderful shot of the vessel. Like the light and blue backdrop! V

just the angle to have the ship appear more dynamic...interesting name, as it's submersible must experience a pressure increase, at least from the outside..

So impressive ... they say it's harder to reach the bottom of the ocean than it is to go to the moon! Beautiful boat
