C.C.: The depth is anywhere from 200 meters to 1500 meters, right along that break where the continental shelf... goes down into deep water.... That's the restaurant, the place where they congregate.
The acidification occurred progressively, from the surface down to deep waters.
It's not just jumping into deep waters, it's being pulled down into the deep water.
The fact that way down, deep in the water, it's so dark that mysterious creatures have evolved to withstand immense pressure and create their own light evokes a natural feeling of wonder.
Much of this sediment is deposited from turbidity currents that have been channeled from the continental margins along submarine canyons down into deeper water.

Nobody knows what the whales may have to click and clack about, but it could be a form of voting — time to stop here and synchronously dive down in search of deep water squid, now time to resurface, move on, dive again.
The investigation originated from the concept of boosting the refrigeration capacity available for local-area use in underground mines, by utilising directly the high static pressures available from pipelines carrying large quantities of water down deep mine shafts.
If they proliferate down here, as I expect, commuters on the Staten Island ferry some morning will get close enough to a seal to notice water dripping off his whiskers, and — if he makes his alternative head-last drop-down into deeper water, as against a dive — watch the seal's nostrils, the final part of him, magically squeeze shut a quarter-second before he's gone.
The shoal, by reducing the depth of the water at the glacier's terminus and thereby inhibiting iceberg calving, will allow the glacier to advance into deep water farther down the fjord.
