The nature of our world is amazing in its essence, but we strive to remake it, cutting down forests to build houses or ennobling wildlife, introducing all sorts of elements of civilization into it. However, few people know about the beauty of the underwater world of the seas and oceans, where the most beautiful marine inhabitants are found.

Nowadays, more and more people start diving and learn about this unique nature of ocean waters, which keeps many secrets and mysteries. It is notable not only for a large number of various species of fish and corals, there are also unusual caves, mystical territories, sunken cities and treasures.

There are 4 oceans on the globe, each of which carries its own impressions and has a special "local" flora and fauna.

Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Ocean is the first largest body of water on the planet and contains more than one hundred thousand of a wide variety of fish species. The largest inhabitant of this ocean and the entire underwater world is considered to be the gray whale transom, swimming in the lower layers of the water space. The mass of such whales reaches 35 tons, and you can see them during their breeding season, when the whales swim in the shallow waters of the bays.

Of course, predators are also found in the Pacific Ocean, among which the most dangerous are the leopard shark, the deadly poisonous stone fish, sea urchins, snakes and dragons, which paralyze humans with their poison. Of course, there are quite a few such fish, so before you go scuba diving, you should definitely ask what kind of fish are dangerous to humans and try not to approach them.

There are also enough small fish here, schools of which avid divers from all over the world want to admire. In the ocean you can find fur seals, salmon fish, telescope fish, smallmouth macropinnas, as well as a very unusual fish - the herring king.

Almost the entire ocean is surrounded by mountainous terrain, which is why the bottom of the Pacific Ocean forms a volcanic "ring of fire". Not far from Australia lies the Great Barrier Reef that surrounds the largest coral lagoon. Everywhere in the ocean there is a movement of the earth's crust, which produces world catastrophes in the form of tsunamis.

Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest after the Pacific Ocean. The ocean floor is divided into two almost equal parts by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Its space is also inhabited by a huge number of fish and mammals. Among the most unusual and rare species are flying fish, moonfish, blue sharks, giant crayfish, sea wolf and many others.

In recent years, studying the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, scientists have found several species of fish that have not been known to modern science until today. Thus, new varieties of sea worms and cucumbers, ctenophores and jellyfish, which are distinguished by their bright colors and unusual structure, were found on the seabed.

It should also be noted that it is the waters of the Atlantic Ocean that are full of numerous mysteries of sunken ships. There is also the famous Bermuda Triangle, the sunken Titanic, numerous ship graveyards, underwater icebergs and endless mystical legends.

Indian Ocean.

Most of the Indian Ocean is washed by the southern continents, where the water temperature reaches 23-25 ​​degrees. In this part of the ocean there is a rich underwater world of marine inhabitants from small fish to tiger sharks. In shallow waters, there are numerous coral reefs, colorful algae and polyps, where mudskippers live.

Among the large fish in the Indian Ocean, you can see the families of whale fish, sperm whales, dolphins, fur seals, killer whales and several species of sharks, including the great white, tiger and their other representatives. Among the local fauna, there are many glowing fish, such as the platytroct fish.

On the territory of the Indian Ocean is the island of Amsterdam, which was chosen by seals and penguins. Popular places for diving in Indian waters are the coast of Australia and the resort of Sri Lanka, where pearl mining is famous for the local craft.

Arctic Ocean.

The Arctic Ocean occupies the smallest part of the water space of the globe. Of course, the location in the northern hemisphere affects the inner world of the underwater territory. Mainly phytoplankton, kelp, jellyfish and other fish species live here.

Despite the poverty of the Arctic waters, large fish can also be found in the ocean. Its waters are inhabited by bowhead whales, minke whales, seals, walruses and other mammals.

Among the unusual inhabitants of the ocean area, one can distinguish giant mussels, cyanea and sea spiders.
