A bit fishy john.

Very interesting, makes you think about what else we not discovered yet.

4.8 miles- that's deep!

Edward how far do you dive?

The deepest I've been is 100ft. its awesome down there (although you don't want to stay down there too long). I'll tell you a story. My uncle asked me 'how deep do you want to go today Edward' so I said can we go 100ft. He said OK but said I needed to get a raw egg for him. So we go to the lockers to get kitted up and he asks me 'have you got the egg?' and I replied yes. He took it of me and put it in his BCD (Buoyancy Control devise or a dive jacket). Thinking that I'd seen the last of the egg we began the dive. Because we wanted to maximize our time at the bottom, we headed straight down (because my dad can't equalize as well as me) we decided to leave him with my auntie and continue. So we get to 100ft and my uncle gets the egg out and starts cracking it against some rock. Amazingly the egg stayed in one piece and I can bounce it in my hand (until a fish decides that a raw egg would make good lunch and snatches it out my hand) I'll dig out a picture!

Happy Landings

CAA= Cash Again,Again!

That looks well fun!

Great pictures Edward. Where was that dive?

In a fish tank!

Great shots Ed!

Would love to take up diving sometime! I've only done snorkeling when I lived in Port Douglas! The great b reef is amazing!

The fish, known as Pseudoliparis amblystomopsis, can be seen darting about in the darkness of the depths, scooping up shrimps.

"No-one has ever seen fish alive at these depths before - you just never know what you are going to see when you get down there."

Hmmm. Why are the fish getting all the attention? What about the shrimp who also appear to be living there. This sounds terribly discriminatory - there's obviously some media bias at work here. I demand equal coverage for the shrimp.

Dead shrimp that have sunk to the bottom perhaps John.

Aha! The plot thickens. Then what's killing all the shrimp? Why are the media so interested in the fish who are eating all the mysteriously dying shrimp instead of the crimes that are obviously being committed higher up? They always protect those who are higher up, don't they?

I smell a cover-up here. Could those fish be in on it? Why are they lurking down there in the dark if they have nothing to hide - tell me that, eh? Well, I'll tell you - they're consuming the evidence. There's something fishy about this whole story. It's probably all a red herring to cover up the conspiracy that's responsible for littering the deep with the dead bodies of all those innocent shrimp. Where's the outrage? There's a perfectly good conspiracy theory in this and no one seems interested.
