        It is called abyss, under 500m deep, the light can’t get through. Organism which live under that looks like monsters and have developed specific shape as big eyes or transparent, some are bio luminescent, some are really light without bones…in the abyss the water is cold 4C and the pressure is extreme (100 higher than the surface)
