Breathtaking photos of the marine life

The ocean is one of the greatest mysteries on the planet. Beneath its wavy blue surface lies a colorful world that is home to around 200,000 unique and strangely beautiful species. In total, the ocean covers approximately 71% of the Earth’s surface, but humans have only explored about 20% of it, leading scientists to believe that it probably exists near two million unidentified creatures lurking in the unexplored depths of the sea. Although so much is unknown about the ocean, one thing is certain: its breathtaking beauty. No need to go to the aquarium, because here we have spectacular underwater images.
