It would be great if there were hyperlinks on all the sea animals/creatures listed. Great visualization nonetheless!

It would be great also to have translations

The most surprising thing to me was how deep mammals and even birds manage to get! The diving depths of emperor penguins, elephant seals, and narwhals are astonding.

All are legendary stuff, from jewel squid eyes to snails wearing iron scale mails.

Love it ! Makes me think of https://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.... which is the same but for space.

This is very cool but I'm a bit confused by what the depths represent - is it minimum depth you need to get down to before you start seeing the animal, is it the average depth that animal lives at?

I've seen Giant Pacific Octopus diving around 20m, but this visualization lists them at 770m.

Still very cool, and I love how it is searchable in plain text (eg. I can ctrl + f and type octopus and it takes me directly to the correct depth)

OK now I need to go down the rabbit hole of why other mammals don't get the bends. Here goes my evening.

I think it's the maximum depth where the animal has been spotted, even if it's not the "usual" depth.
