Epipelagic Zone

Around 90% of all biomass in the ocean is located close to the surface in the first 200 meters. Enough sunlight enters these waters to allow photosynthesis. In the open waters, photosynthesis is peformed by phytoplankton: microscopic floating algae. These are eaten by zoo plankton - small animals which drift in the ocean currents. In turn, the zoo planktons are eaten by a huge variety of other animals. These range from small fish like sardines to giant manta rays, whale sharks and even the blue whales.

And the best part? Nemo lives here

The Twilight Zone

We are now facing what seems to be endless open water. We have entered the Twilight zone, the portal to the deep sea. As we sink down further, the water pressure rises to deadly levels. The deepest scuba dive ever came in at 332 meters. At that depth, the pressure is like having 200 cars stacked on top of you.

So let's get into our submarine before that pressure crushes us! We'll be saying goodbye to Nemo as this pressure can crush him too.
