A lantern shark (Etmopterus) swims above the sandy bottom at the Sandy
Tongue dive site. This is a deep-water shark with bioluminescent organs
for camouflage. The site is just outside the influence of the Gulf Stream, so
it is not scoured of all its sediment as are the dive sites closer to land and
under the Gulf Stream. Video courtesy of Estuary to the Abyss 2004 Exploration, George Sedberry, NOAA-OE.
