Man dropped GoPro into ocean from cruise ship to show ‘terrifying’ true reality of what’s underneath

Viewers were shocked to see what was beneath the surface

A content creator went and dropped his GoPro into the ocean to show the ‘terrifying’ reality of what’s underneath - and viewers were certainly not on board with what was at the bottom of the ocean.

I mean, if you take into account how much of our planet is actually made up of water (about 71 percent) it is quite worrying to think about our over reliance on the sea.

Perhaps that's why people have found Odysseas Froilan's video so creepy.

The Greek photographer took to his YouTube channel to show us what happened when he dropped his GoPro from the side of a cruise ship.

In the 2021 clip, Froilan begins with chucking his GoPro off the boat - as you do - and allowing it to tumble into the depths below.

We’re immediately greeted by various fish swimming around before the camera eventually falls to the ocean floor alongside the ship’s anchor.

After settling onto the seabed, the GoPro then moves around to show what life is like for the creatures that inhabit the bottom of the ocean.

Then things get a lot more interesting as the clip cuts to the nighttime footage - and this is when things do get a bit weird 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.

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 added: “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 commented.

Meanwhile, 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.”
