now that's cold...


Of course, this is not something you'd see anywhere near a coral reef, it is nevertheless part of the ocean environment.

This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships! In this particular case the water was calm, & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water, huh?! They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we also know how/why the Titanic sank!

Neato Bandito!!!
