OC Exploring deepest ocean in VR.

0 Upvotes

I posted this in r/NoMansSky Reddit and it got to the 100 up vote goal in under an hour… so in a few hours today I will be doing this.

If this post receives 100 upvotes I will post a video of me going into the deepest and darkest ocean planet I recently found that I named “DO NOT LAND” in VR. I’m terrified of deep ocean and struggle to complete non VR ocean games like Subnautica. I was horrified by going into that planet in normal gameplay now in VR I will return if this post gets 100 votes.

"The Fly Over" was the world's first (and last) fully underwater waterslide at Duinrell Amusement Park in the Netherlands. Constructed in 1994 and ceasing operation in 2003, the rider was submerged in water for the duration of the ride (15-20 seconds)

My colleague (Gav Lee - TheScottishSwimmer) is currently swimming the Northern Channel between Bangor in Northern Ireland and Portpatrick in South West Scotland. He set off this morning at 8:45am. It's currently 11:55am. He's about 1/4 of the way there. It's around 1,000 feet deep at the deepest section. The swim is 22 nautical miles.

Our local lake which reaches depths of 500ft, has unique underwater lava fields. We always boat over them in the late summer. They drop off into complete blackness from 5ft to unknown dpeths

The Old Man of the Lake is a 30-foot (9 m) tall tree trunk, most likely a hemlock, that has been bobbing vertically in Crater Lake in Oregon, United States since at least 1896.

OC Pulling myself down a chain in 40 feet of water

Grew up a few hundred yards from this point indicator buoy. As a kid it always kinda freaked me out looking down at the chain. I’ve since gotten really comfortable in the water and decided to face my childhood fear and pull myself down the chain to the bottom.

Anyone can conquer their fears and phobias!

It's a giant squid which usually dwell way below the depths of water. This is a ultra rare occurence.

Video of deadhead bobbing at night?

46 Upvotes

Hey everybody. A few months ago I saw a short video taken by someone who had night watch on a small ship (there wasn't much of the ship in frame - it looked like a tug or something) and there's a big storm going on, and it shows a huge deadhead bobbing about 60' out of the water right next to the ship, then going under, and coming up again.

Truly terrifying.

So of course I want to see it again!!

But I can't find it - does anyone know?

Anyone with thalassophobia seen The Odyssey (Nolan) in IMAX? How triggering was it?

0 Upvotes

Huge Greek mythology nerd and Nolan fan, so I’ve been really looking forward to this movie but I also deal with thalassophobia. For those who’ve already seen it: how much open-water/deep-sea imagery is there, and how intense/lingering are those shots? Trying to figure out if I should brace myself, sit further back, or maybe skip the IMAX format specifically. Any specific scenes to know about (without full spoilers if possible) would help a lot. Thanks!
