Did you know that humans have explored outer space more than our own
ocean floor? There are so many things hidden right under our noses and
all we have to do is take a deep breath – no, more air! – and dive right
under the surface. Sometimes that’s all it takes, and over the years,
divers have uncovered some of the most shocking underwater scenes,
artifacts and bizarre creatures out there.
1. Submerged Stonehenge

A
weird stone formation sits deep on the bottom of Lake Michigan. Nobody
really knows what it is, what it’s for and if it has any connection to
its British look-a-like. One of the pillars even has a picture of an
animal that has been extinct for over 10,000 years. More questions than
there are answers!
2. A Sculpture Park of Terror

Start
singing “Under the sea” from “Little Mermaid” while you’re diving to
the bottom of the Caribbean Sea to check out what might be the creepiest
place on earth. Over 500 statues will be staring at you, and if you
know anything about the Weeping Angels – you’ll know better not to turn
around, look away or even BLINK!
3. An Ancient Drowned City
Sorry,
I gotta say it right away: Atlantis is not on this list (because it
doesn’t exist). This is an underwater city in China’s Qiandao Lake.
Curious thing about it is that the lake itself was created by a
construction company in order to build a hydro-power plant in the 50’s.
And so the 1300-year-old city was drowned and forgotten. What a waste.
4. Sunken World War II Silver

A
real treasure hunt! Over 60 tons of werewolf-slaying precious metal was
found on a sunken British cargo ship by researchers off the coast of
Ireland. Now, this may not be the pot of gold on the other end of the
rainbow (because Ireland, Leprechauns…you know) but it’s still a damn
good find.
