Where are the monsters?
I expected a lot of footage from the bottom of the sea, but there's not a single picture. How do we know he didn't just stay under the launchship for a few hours? I want to see the sea monsters. Pretty please!

Hi Dukhalion,

As soon as the Deepsea Challenge releases photos of the bottom, I'll put them up on the site.
