Man drops GoPro in the ocean and now people are 'terrified'
People have been left horrified after a cameraman chucked a GoPro underneath a cruise ship and gave us all a glimpse of what it lurking below the surface.
Odysseas Froilan, from Greece, shared the clip to YouTube back in November 2021, where it’s since racked up more than five million views.
When the clip starts, we can see the side of the ship, before the camera is plunged into the water and immediately encounters a school of fish.

As it continues its descent into the briny deep, we see a selection of different breeds of fish swimming past the camera.
It eventually lands on the seafloor next to a huge chain of sorts - the camera then moves along taking more in fish and more of the somewhat otherworldly landscape.
The camera then cuts as it makes its slow and steady ascent to the surface again - giving us all a fairly up close view of the underside of a cruise ship, in case you’ve ever wondered what that looks like.
Then, the clip cuts to the nighttime footage - and this is when things do get a bit creepier, if you ask me.
Not only does the darkness add a certain eeriness the earlier footage didn’t have, but as the camera makes its way through the water several sharks swim past. It’s a massive ‘nope’ from me.
The incredible footage has left nature-lovers seriously impressed - and not to mention a little bit scared.
Commenting on the video, one person said: “The way I went from kicking my feet in the air at the cute fishies and thinking ‘maybe the ocean isn’t so scary after all’ in the day footage to blankly staring, terrified, at the night footage, further confirming my intense fear of the ocean.”
Another wrote: “Man, there's something primally terrifying about seeing a shark emerge from the darkness like that.”
While a third commented: “It's surreal, scary and intriguing, all at the same time!”
“Even though I am at home watching this, it still takes my breath away with fear,” a fourth viewer added.
Someone else warned: “I would just like to point out the difference in marine life depending on the time of day. If you ever find yourself on a cruise, do not take a bet and jump into the ocean at night, most sharks are nocturnal hunters and they are basically just waiting for you.”
