Deep ocean life

The ocean is divided into five main layers. These layers, called "zones", begin at the ocean's surface  and extend to the sea floor, plunged into total darkness. These deep zones house some of the strangest and most fascinating creatures in the sea. The upper layers are home to both colorful tropical fish and majestic sharks and whales. Despite the differences in conditions and organisms, the diversity of each layer is equally astounding.




You can learn more about each of this zones by going to the webpage below;
