In the shadowy depths of the sea lies a region long hidden from our view. Here the light and colour of the surface yield to the dark night of the deep. Strange and beautiful beings lurk in the shadows, drifting with the currents, or waiting for their chance to feed. It is a world as rich with mystery and life as it is hostile to human survival.
