Contrary to popular belief, whales aren't shooting giant streams of water out of their heads when they surface - they're breathing! The warm moist air of their lungs condenses in the cooler outside air, creating the iconic "spout".
On the Azorean island of Santa Maria, a remote station keeps silent watch over the North Atlantic using a network of satellites. Watch the full video now on our YouTube: youtu.be/EliOsD-aSKk #azores #satellites #conservation #ocean #science
OceanX recently toured the #innovation lab at #SpelmanCollege and attended the #MorehouseCollege Dream Makers Summit. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table. We hope to continue seeing these students and their innovations as they explore their interest in ocean science.
Our scuba diving footage from our recent Seychelles mission is now added to our continuous lofi music livestream. Relax and vibe with us now or anytime, on our YouTube channel: bit.ly/49RbUTG #lofi #underwaterfootage #scubadiving #lofimusic #seychelles
What's it like to date the ocean's apex predator? This rare footage from @oceanx gives us a glimpse.
We were down 800 meters in the📍#Seychelles on a sub dive when we spotted these three deep-sea #octopuses. Let us know in the comments which one is your favorite. #subdive #submersible #octopus #octopi #octopodes #deepsea #cephalopods #underwatercreature #oceancreature
Not only does it cover about 71% of our planet, the ocean stores 50 times more carbon than the atmosphere, and 20 times more than land plants and soil combined. 🌏 This #EarthDay, remember the ocean and help us celebrate one of our planets greatest natural resources.
This is #crab cannibalism. 🦀 Hundreds of #swimmercrabs showed up off the coast of #CostaRica's #CocosIsland in the spring of 2015, and they feasted on one other. Cannibalism in the ocean is not unusual, but the large numbers that took part in this consumption is mystifying.
While in #Singapore, we've debuted a hybrid Young Explorers Program to give even more people hands-on experiences aboard the OceanXplorer. From sitting in the pilot seat for an ROV to watching underwater footage in 3D, there is so much on a #researchvessel to learn about.
Every summer, Chilean devil rays gather in large schools above a shallow seamount in the Azores archipelago. These oceanic nomads are still little understood. Watch the full video now on our YouTube: bit.ly/440HVHR #devilrays #azores #marinebiology #ocean #seamounts
330+ students, teachers and academics in Singapore boarded OceanXplorer to get a first-hand look at how the world's most advanced research vessel combines science, next-generation technology & storytelling to explore the ocean and bring it back to the 🌎. youtu.be/7UzCRMqGFzc?si…
Sperm whale clicks are incredibly loud. They are in fact the loudest animals on earth and the sounds are so powerful they have the potential to do you serious harm (hypothetically anyway).
This April we welcomed on board 159 educators and 175 young learners with an interest in #ocean #science, #media, and operations, including university undergraduates who took part in our flagship Young Explorers Program, for the first time in #Singapore.
The #Megalodon was the biggest shark that ever lived, but people still wonder if it could be hiding out in the depths of the ocean somewhere. It went extinct about 3 million years ago — that's when it disappeared from the fossil record. #themeg #oceanexploration #oceanhistory
OceanXplorer is currently docked in📍Singapore and we've been busy w. immersive educational tours for local educators and students. We're thrilled to open up our vessel and have people explore. #oceaneducation #marinescience #oceanresearch #marinevessel #oceanxplorer #singapore

Driving a sub is actually more like flying—which is why our sub operators are called "pilots." It's definitely a lot like flying when you're diving in a cave that was once above sea level, in this case the #GreatBlueHole of #Belize. #oceanx

Cruising through the first week of 2023 like...a sailfish. The sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of reaching speeds of 68 mph (110 km per hour).
Name a more festive marine invertebrate than the Christmas tree worm...I'll wait. The two "Christmas trees" sprout from the worm's head. They're covered in sticky, hair-like appendages used to breathe and to trap bits of food.
What does a lionfish have in common with a skunk? They're both aposematic, meaning they use bold coloring to warn away predators. The lionfish sports 18 venomous spines for self-defense (btw, venomous and poisonous aren't the same! Venom is injected, poison is ingested).
Time for a moment of chill, courtesy of a whale shark we spotted in the Red Sea. Speaking of spots, each whale shark has unique constellation of spots that can be used to identify different individuals.
Coral reefs look serene but they're actually battlefields. Corals fight each other to claim space on the reef. Soft corals release toxins to to make their neighbors ill. Hard corals fire strands of their guts at the coral-next-door and digest the intruder. Not very neighborly.
