I kept being surprised seeing air-breathers deeper and deeper. I had no idea narwhals dove down to the depths where things live on hydro-thermal vents. Also that penguins have been near twice as deep as scuba divers.

- zonkerdonker 3y agoThe elephant seal really threw me for a loop, so I looked it up and [1]. It's not even close to accurate. I also couldn't verify any recorded dives of chinook salmon that deep either. A bit disappointing, this chart would be really cool if it was accurate [1] http://mirounga.ucsc.edu/leboeuf/pdfs/PatternDepthofDives.1986.pdf http://mirounga.ucsc.edu/leboeuf/pdfs/PatternDepthofDives.19... (pdf warning)
- plewd 3y agoI believe it's the deepest dive recorded of those animals (or at least that was the case for the narwhal)
