What's Below the Water?

David Gallo’s talks and videos will make you want to take another look at the world underneath our oceans.

Many cruisers enjoy exploring the underwater world they move over. Some snorkel, some SCUBA dive. The most experienced probably see more of the creatures that dwell on the ocean floor and in the reefs, but this video makes me wonder how much of what is down there we really see. Watching it might change the way you look at things.



And then there is the part of the oceans we know very little about. We may sail over it, but we have no way of seeing the treasures underneath.

Much deeper than we can safely go there is a whole other world of creatures we are just beginning to learn about. The deep seas teem with life, a life that will survive and thrive whether or not we do. It is humbling to realize that even if we, as a species, find ourselves in a world which we does not have the water or food or climate that we need the planet will still be full of life. It’s just that we won’t be there to marvel at it, learn about it - or exploit it.
