This is awesome! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland. They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships! In this particular case the water was calm, &the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water huh?! They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons. And now we know why they say one picture is worth 1000 words ..

And now we also know why the Titanic sank!

Looks like the ice berg didn't make out too well either.

If your crown has all that beneath it, i wouldn't want to be in your place when your dentist has to pull one of those

Wow the lighting is very cool - is that from the sunlight or from the divers flash ?
