Be a hell of a lot easier to find that damn plane (mh370)

I feel like drowning would become a much bigger issue. Also falling into empty pools

Military submarines wouldn't be a thing, "they're diving underwater! not sure why, we can still see them!"
TakeMemeOn
Dude they are stuck in an ocean and you're literally flying over top at the pinnacle of technology. How could you possibly lose sleep.
ScoobyDooGotThatBooty
In Ark: Survival evolved you can see to the ocean floor and see all the creepy ass sharks/lock ness monsters/mosasaurs all swimming straight
ScoobyDooGotThatBooty
Towards you and it’s terrifying.
JoleneJoleneJoleneJoleeene
I’m not afraid of the ocean.
Denim777
you havent seen enough about the ocean i guess.
BossRoswell
I can't even think of anything snarky. The cutest, cuddliest thing down there is a football fish. It only gets creepier from there.
SirSciencewastaken
What about the adorabilis octopus, otherwise known as the flapjack octopus.
Callistan
Personally I think this jelly is cuter than a football fish (maybe not as cuddly though) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGFh3UNvuCQ
syntheticgod8
It's not reflectivity of the water that's the problem, it's the amount of stuff in the water. Like life.
PanNonOpticon
If light could penetrate to the bottom, it wouldn't. There would be so much algae that the ocean would be green.
TheH509
One good thing is that we would finnally know what cause all those strange sounds in the ocean.
Denim777
your definition of "good" may be a bit misplaced in this instance.
TheH509
Eh, wan't be worse than what we find regularly on r/NoahGetTheBoat or just the internet in general
themexicanwave
I remember snorkelling in Thailand. The amount of life within my field of view was astounding. Then you look up to see the size of the ocean
TheActualMalloryArcher
The problem osnt that we can see it. The problem is that it will be able to see us
TheSecondRunnerUp
*puffs* right
NoFather
Humanity would be used to it in a week, bored in a month.
PeterTheRabbit
There's a lot of ocean that doesn't have a lot of life, ocean desert so to speak
KnuckleDeepInAKangaroo
If I could see all the way to the bottom I reckon I'd be much less afraid. Being able to see things coming massively alleviates the fear.
thecowkingdom
As a Briton facing down Brexit for the last three years: No.
raknor88
Not true, the truly terrifying ones you wouldn't be able to see due to distance and light.
safespacesnowflake
I bet you’re fun at bridge club.
mithiwithi
Well, the point of the exercise is to take away the light issue, but yeah, you'd still need a telescope to see the sea monsters.
RandomMemmer
Cool thought. How high or you?
tazedconfused
Thanks, debbie downrr
UonlyThinkyourDead
Yes
ToiletReadingAccount
Yes.
thegonzoesquire
No its high HOW are you
dillanb
No it’s HI, how are you?

Seeing all the garbage would be what stuck.
friendsofsandwiches
well then the shit wouldn't be clear anymore.
eirebadboy
Imagine all the shipwrecks and crashed planes too...
keggyfulabier
Amelia? Is that you?
BeingRelevantIsntRelevant
This is what will terrorize my nightmares
Youreatowel
Oof
PsychicSpider
If we could see all the damage we cause, we'd stop causing it in a hurry.
IWasACatAllAlong
That's some blindness right there. Are you picking up all trash you see along your road? Nope. People want others to do it.
iknowguacisxtra
Such optimism
Hendlton
There are plenty of pictures out there of rivers full of garbage and yet most people don't care
prdarkfox
I don't know if you've seen your local highways recently but people sure aren't caring on land, either.
urgotobekiddingme
Depressingly true
thedadwhobeatshiskidwithjumpercables
This is creepy but if light could penetrate to the bottom of the ocean there would be way more life down there. Maybe a little less creepy
OwlBeReady
Also even as clear as it could be human site would not see the bottom. Would be like looking at the sky just a dence wall of particles
NdotGreeze
Life absorbs a significant portion of the light that enters the water so the question is mute. More light = more life = less light
valen00
Way more creepy I'd wager
erroniousmaximus
Also things a mile or 2 miles away still lose the effect their size has up close. Plus a lot of that life is small as hell.
Einer
Life? What is dead may never die.
beardedheathen
But rises again harder and stronger.
Kodaxmax
no that much, light deficiency is alot easier to overcome than the pressure.
WhatsYourStoryHomie
What about curtains of light that sink down to the ocean floor?
DoubleNubbin
Sure, but if you have an abundant energy supply (sun light) you would definitely have plants and animals filling those niches regardless.
Kodaxmax
yes but not many. You would have alot more if pressure wasn't an issue.
SantasAnagram
Would there be? It would be much harder to hide from predators overhead.
clewstah
Prey will adapt to hide.
FitzFarseer
There’s plenty of life in the areas light can reach. The dark areas lack life just because most life can’t survive there, predators or not
onepinksheep
Yes, there would be, bec the reason there are creatures there isn't to hide from predators, but bec of food. If light reached to the 1/?
onepinksheep
bottom, then there would be photosynthesizers there, and then creatures that eat them, and then other creatures that eat those, etc. 2/2
SantasAnagram
Good point, I hadn't considered that.
ICantCount
Pressure would still be a problem
Markamanic
Every time I go diving those scaly fucks try to sell me drugs.

GotBannedForPostingAYoutubeLink
If its not a problem for all the stuff living there now, how would adding light make it a problem?
sebastianthelobster
Pressure effects have really only limited diversification at the extreme end of the depth range (>7-8km).
Leafus
Right but even the blobfish looks somewhat normal at its desired depth, all blobfish you see out of the water are exploding.
SirShmoopyofAwesomtown
Bowie and mercury would agree
konijntjesbroek

UNDER PRESSURE!
dwilson0725
They wouldn't be creepy because they'd be normal to us.
hawkesnightmare
I've been familiar with the look of angler fish for years now. They still look scary and I wouldn't want to meet one.
dwilson0725
I don't like clowns or mascots, and I'm familiar with them. Giraffes are crazy animals too. All still somewhat normal because they are known
IATTM
Black widows creep me out and I grew up with them all around where I lived.
dwilson0725
That's called a phobia. Completely normal to exist in some amount of the population.
IATTM
Nah, it's not irrational. I have actual phobias and this isn't one.
dwilson0725
It is somewhat irrational, even if it doesn't instill terror in you. But still, it would be normal on a human experience scale, not individ.
Borgham
All god damn fish creep me out, and they're pretty abundant
dwilson0725
Ichthyophobia? Phobias are a normal presence within a population.
Borgham
I mean not really a phobia, just saying I'm not ok with stuff just cuz I've seen a lot of them
