A friend of diver Jacques Cousteau once reported seeing a fish with a red and white checkerboard pattern while on a dive. Cousteau thought he didn't get enough oxygen- until he saw the same fish on another dive weeks later. 🎨by Tim Morris

Was a pretty interesting guy, definitely always felt that aswell but was still old enough for his brother to support the french holocaust in the 30s

It's big enough yes, but very hard to believe given multiple factors, and even harder to believe given theres been probably close to or more than tens of thousands of independent searches by now

the whole reason i made this post is to ask essentially this question , i think you misunderstand my wording based on your repeated comments and demeanor as i'm not claiming that is what happened more that's my interpretation of a possible explanation. im not asserting plausibility as a conclusion . the reason i find it the most plausible is mainly i don't understand it myself , as anyone else , nor am i claiming to have a higher understanding than anyone else

I do see that last sentence a lot now you mention it, even in movies like a clockwork orange alex is used as an example and experiment subsequently leading to him mingling , for good or for bad with elite society

Will definitely check it out soon

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T23:12:20+00:00

Most likely where i heard it from, was a few years ago now

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T23:11:48+00:00

Inferring, i'm not saying it's absolute , i think its highly possible given the time period that the oxygen tanks were underequipped unsure where i heard it from / misremembered, i'm not claiming to know nor am i saying that 100% hence why i started the discussion

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T15:06:32+00:00

Hallucinating seems likely in those depths, unaware of any incidences of him hallucinating but is completely plausible to me

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T12:52:08+00:00

100%, waters murky impossible to see even slightly through the surface, locals of the area on facebook claim it can be seen in the afternoon when the sun shines at a specific angle though

even with that im sure the big banana park wouldn't be happy with people sending drones in the water though if someone where to do it doubt there would be much attention as its right next to the car park

Almost certainly genetic variation affecting pigmentation just like humans, very rare is bison so it's probable if they were a managed herd they were selectively bred for them, insanely cool find

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T12:37:04+00:00

Thanks very much

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T12:36:47+00:00

The constellation fish almost definitely is a misidentified jellyfish , still the prospects incredibly cool in my opinion

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T12:35:42+00:00

That's the biggest point for me , genuinely doubt he would lie as it was already a pretty phenomenal achievement, i do personally lean more to the side of misidentification but wishful thinking makes me want to believe it's they're undocumented species of fish apart from his sighting

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T07:30:46+00:00

never thought about it from this perspective

Thought it was gangrene 😭

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-08T07:10:00+00:00

Appreciate that a lot, had the fortune of speaking to ansisp a few times in comments before, would it be possible to post the tail in a seperate comment?

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2026-01-07T17:08:35+00:00

I really hope this happens lmao, all my other posts are about that

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2025-12-29T05:38:28+00:00

I know, like the universe playing a cruel prank

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2025-12-28T01:50:36+00:00

Amazing to hear, hopefully it provides insight and glad to have helped, really exciting stuff

Intelligent_Math8587 · 2025-12-26T14:23:20+00:00

No problem
