We’re talking Sea Monsters, people. So you know we mean business.
Now, everybody knows that Nessie’s just a big ol’ lump o’ dinosaur, not a serpent at all. And Caddy’s a figment of some screech-addled sailor’s story-telling impulse. And Ogopogo…well, we do not speak of Ogopogo. The ancient Fossil Shark was a shark, after all, if quite serpentine in spots and from certain angles, especially in candlelight.
But now, at last, we’ve found a genuine Sea Serpent. My shrivelled and blackened heart leaps up…
Beneath the surface of our crystal blue waters live a myriad of marine life.
Sometimes we can see them from the air — steely eyed shark congregating by the thousands, graceful stingray, gliding along the shallows.
But go deeper…
You never know what you’ll find. Just ask Jay Garbose.
“This is a first and I’ve traveled and video’ed all over the world.”
Take a look at what he found and listen to the story — it’s no fish tale.
“I was diving on Juno Ledge. That’s about a mile off shore of Juno Beach. At first I thought it was a sea cucumber although no one has ever seen one stretched 7 to 10 feet the way this one was. It’s sort of grey and putty like and very smooth and taffy like in the way it stretches. Some of my friends and I have sort of dubbed it the living intestine.”
And it is just exactly as beautiful as that description would lead one to believe. At first, I thought it was a hoax. Once I saw it moving and had observed its blundering, slow, mindless, horrible writhings, I prayed it was a hoax.

Finally you’ve done it. At long last have you left no sense of decency.
To stoop to showing us your parents’ home movies … Feh.
Aw c’mon. Everybody loves vacation shots. “Our trip to Disney World…and K’nyan.
looks like a simple worm, huge, but simple
Yes, given the number of weird annelids (sp?) in the world, this thing could be perfectly normal and quite common on the seabed. That possibility alone is why I don’t go in the water. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
