‘Nope, Never Diving Again’: People Left ‘Terrified’ of the Deep Sea After Diver Takes Camera to Ocean Floor at Midnight – Indian Defence Review
A deep-sea diver ventures into the pitch-black waters of Bali at midnight, capturing footage of bizarre and eerie creatures rarely seen by human eyes. Among the shadows, venomous predators and unexpected surprises emerge from the depths.Deep-sea diving at midnight isn’t for the faint-hearted, but for filmmaker and adventurer Barny Dillarstone, it’s just another night on the reef. Armed with his camera, the self-proclaimed “lover of all things that swim” descended into the eerie depths of Amed, Bali, to capture the ocean’s most mysterious nocturnal creatures—and the result is nothing short of mesmerizing.What he found lurking in the shadows has left viewers both amazed and unnerved. From venomous predators to bioluminescent wonders, his dive into the abyss uncovered a hidden world that most people will never witness firsthand.As the youtuber explored the seabed under the cover of darkness, he stumbled upon some of the ocean’s most dangerous and camouflaged creatures. One of the first was a tasseled scorpionfish—a master of disguise with venom potent enough to paralyze or even kill a human.“Super camouflaged, I barely even saw him,” Barny admitted as his camera focused on the spiny predator. “You would not wanna get stung by him.”But the eerie encounters didn’t stop there. As he swam through the darkness, shadows drifted past him, adding an unsettling edge to his midnight adventure. At one point, a massive lionfish with its flowing, venomous spines loomed in the darkness, while blue-spotted stingrays hovered silently nearby.Twenty-four hours later, Barny embarked on another pitch-black dive, this time in search of a sunken boat wreck. “I think it’s out here somewhere,” he said. “But if I’m honest, it’s completely black, and I’ve got no idea.”Surrounded by stingrays, he soon located the ghostly remains of the ship. But the real surprise was hiding inside the wreckage: a honeycomb moray eel, its black-spotted body slithering from the shadows. Known for their powerful bite and solitary nature, these nocturnal hunters are rarely seen up close, making the encounter all the more thrilling.If the deadly marine predators weren’t enough to amaze viewers, Barny’s final discovery had them completely stunned. Enter the coconut octopus—a small but incredibly intelligent creature with a bizarre skill: it can walk on two arms along the ocean floor.“How weird!” Barny exclaimed as the octopus scuttled across the seabed like something out of a sci-fi movie. Though venomous, its unusual method of locomotion was more fascinating than fear-inducing.Barny’s breathtaking footage quickly ignited a wave of reactions online, with many viewers both fascinated and terrified by what lurks in the ocean at night.“You have to be really brave to do this because that is absolutely terrifying,” one person commented.Another wrote: “What a spooky video! Being down there solo at night must be a crazy experience. Thanks for sharing that with us.”Some, however, were simply in awe of the creatures. “Coconut octopuses are cool, no doubt,” a viewer noted. For Barny, it was just another night chasing the ocean’s weirdest and wildest inhabitants. For everyone else? A chilling reminder of what swims beneath the surface—especially when the lights go out.The Article was interesting, but the ads are unbearable!
