- Stunning array of photographs of 'Deep Ones'. Well - they're not - but close enough damnit! Amazing close-up underwater shots of translucent sea creatures, incredibly beautiful.
Featured: A nearly translucent squid glowing in reds and purples. There are nearly 300 different species of squid, found in oceans worldwide.

"A pelagic, or open-ocean, octopus gives off a neon glow in Hawaii. Most species of octopus have no internal skeleton, unlike other cephalopods."
"A photographer's strobe gives a violet sheen to this translucent juvenile roundbelly cowfish off the coast of Kona, Hawaii. Also known as the transparent boxfish, the roundbelly cowfish has two short horns in front of its eyes."
"A hydromedusa spreads its luminescent tentacles in the Weddell Sea near Antarctica."
"Tiny marine snails known as sea butterflies take many forms, including heart-shaped, such as this species in Antarctica's Weddell Sea."
"A tiny jellyfish, with tentacles folded and its orange central mass visible through its transparent body, drifts in the waters of Antarctica's Weddell Sea."
