This breathtaking video shows that no matter how much we think we know about our beautiful planet, there will always be something just as bizarre as it is beautiful hidden deep underneath the ocean's surface.
Lutfu Tanriover was scuba-diving on the Mediterranean coast near his home in Turkey with some of his friends. They were having a normal diving day, the weather was perfect, and nothing crazy had happened: no shark attacks, no jellyfish stings — not a care in the world!
That's when, in the deep distance, Tanriover saw something startling. A distant shadow shimmered against the distant reflection of the men's flashlights. They had no idea what the mysterious object could have been, and as they kicked closer and closer to the object, the mystery only got more confusing.
A gigantic blob was left floating in the darkness of the sea. 75 feet under the surface, the pounds of pressure could be felt pushing the men down, but as they went to poke the giant blob, they didn't know what to think of the floating form.
Though the men were a bit wary of what they were looking at, it took a team of scientists to figure out what the 13-foot wide sphere actually was. It turns out that this huge blob is most likely a gigantic squid egg mass. Filled with hundreds of thousands of baby squid, these floating nests usually are found a bit deeper underwater.
