Scientists Discover Deadly Pool At Bottom Of Ocean That Kills Anything That Swims Into It

Scientists from the University of Miami have discovered a lethal pool at the bottom of the Red Sea that kills anything that swims into it. As per research, the brine pool was uncovered 1.7 kilometres beneath the surface using a remotely operated underwater vehicle. The scientists came across the deadly pool during the last five minutes of a ten-hour dive.

The researchers explained that a brine pool is a depression in the seafloor that is filled with highly concentrated salt water and other chemical elements which is saltier than the surrounding ocean. They said that these underwater pools can stun or kill animals and even pickle them alive.

Speaking to Live Science, lead researcher Sam Purkis described the deadly pools as "among the most extreme environments on Earth" and said, "Any animal that strays into the brine is immediately stunned or killed."

Further, Mr Purkis informed that fish, shrimp and eels appear to use the brine to hunt. He explained that these creatures lurk near the deadly pool to "feed on the unlucky" creatures that inadvertently swim into it.

Thoughts? I may travel to said loc to "swim" in that as I haven't swam in a pool in a while anyway and that seems like a comforting pool...

That's awesome and fucked up.

Too bad it's 1.7 km below the surface.

Too bad it's 1.7 km below the surface.

This is located @ 5300ft (1.7km) u can scuba dive safely to 2k ft, but would need several air tanks to reach it. U could CTB both ways at the same time I guess.

I was further reading about underwater stuff and just happened upon this funny scenerio:
"is it possible to fart underwater"

Farting is possible while scuba diving but not advisable because: Diving wetsuits are very expensive and the explosive force of an underwater fart will rip a hole in your wetsuit. An underwater fart will shoot you up to the surface like a missile which can cause decompression sickness.

The limit I have been finding is 130 feet for recreational divers and 200 feet for serious divers. According to Wikipedia the record for a Navy diver is 2000 feet and the record using a hyperbaric chamber is 2300 feet, so getting to 5300 feet just doesn't seem possible.

Correct. I admire the bottleneck dolphins who can reach anywhere from 1280 to 1600ft depth. Why can't we have that capability?

So you are going to swim almost halfway down to the titanic? Or are you going to jump out of the R.O.V.
Sorry if I shouldn't have made a joke about it.

Cling to a vw bug bumper, I might make it.

Why does the good methods gotta be out of reach?
