A very peculiar tail indeed...Since they live so deep, is it possible that they are blind???
What's the maximum depth for humans and camera can reach without imploding???
Advancements in material and mechanical engineering will continue to increase our reach into deep dark oceanic abysses. From 20 years from now who knows....
My friend I need to ask you for something...can we have some private chat???

Fish that live deep in the ocean are often blind, but these sharks are not :)

A remote controlled submarine can go as deep as we want to, so we could theoretically explore all the ocean if we wanted to, but it's really expensive to use such a submarine.

Sure! Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Just send an encrypted memo, @xabi :)
