What concerns me is the amount of creatures at that depth with really, really large teeth.

And remember, that's where the Megalodon lives...

IIRC they were shallow water dwellers (I stand to be corrected).

That site made me dig into Sea Lions.

How long can a sea lion hold its breath?

Sea lions can remain underwater for an average of 8 to 20 minutes. Unlike dolphins, sea lions exhale before diving. Naturally, their nostrils are closed, but they have special muscles to open them in order to breathe. Sea lions can dive to depths between 450 and 900 feet (135 - 272 m). The reason they can dive so deeply and stay underwater so long is because they have a high tolerance for carbon dioxide. The oxygen in their body concentrates in their heart and central nervous system rather than in non-vital organs. Their relative, the elephant seal, can hold its breath for 62 minutes and dive to depths of 4,100 feet (1240 m).

Then I read that the Elephant Seal can dive to 1240m, considering that the Elephant Seal can weigh up to 4000kg.

Lightning... I think that squid gave the boat a PK.

Nature really is quite incredible. There is so much wonder to be appreciated.

Nice!

Some very angry looking fish down there.
Or maybe their skulls are just been squashed by been so deep down that they have a constant headache 24/7.

I don't think I wanna go there for Fish & Chips

All I am getting from this is that there is a massive market for cosmetic dentistry.
