Although there are exciting adventures on land, the secrets of the underwater world have captivated people for a long time. Isn't it amazing how much of the ocean is still unexplored and full of hidden wonders? Entering these deep-sea habitats for adventurous travelers promises an entirely new level of fun. However, diving can also be daunting, which is why most people avoid it altogether. Meanwhile, if you’re curious about what happens beneath the ocean after dark, without the need to dive yourself, you're in for a treat. Scuba diver and filmmaker Barny Dillarstone (@barnydillarstone) captured the magic of the ocean’s depths in Amed, Bali, taking his camera along to document the adventure.

While he regularly posts underwater footage, Dillarstone’s midnight dive in Amed has left his followers both terrified and fascinated. The eerie creatures he encountered during the late-night dive stunned many of his subscribers. He revealed that he ventured out at the stroke of midnight, eager to discover which strange and fascinating marine life comes to life in the dead of night. He said, "It’s so fun just looking out into the darkness at night because there could be anything out there. We're going to go crawling around to see what's lurking on the reef when the lights go out."

Dillarstone's video revealed a beautiful hidden world full of shining wonders and terrifying creatures that very few people would witness. His shocking discoveries included a gigantic lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays, and colorful cornetfish. Even while he delighted at the breathtaking views, he admitted that being alone in the abyss at midnight was terrifying. He then saw a dangerous scorpionfish, a poisonous creature whose sting could kill or paralyze a human. The diver also noticed shadowy figures silently passing by him in the dark waters.



 

Speaking of the scorpionfish, the diver said, "Super camouflaged, I barely even saw him. He is a big boy... You would not wanna get stung by him. That is one big, grumpy scorpionfish." He added, "Oh, and right next to him, we've got a surgeonfish and a parrotfish underneath this table coral. They’re just resting up, trying to avoid the sharks like me." In the video, Barny went for his second dive just 24 hours later, this time trying to find a boat wreck. He soon located the wreck and encountered a variety of fascinating sights along his journey. However, the highlight was the coconut octopus, a creature that left viewers in awe, as reported by Ladbible.

The footage left viewers in awe, also amazed by Dillarstone's courage. One YouTube user @josevicentealdeguer5413 commented, “This video has it all, it's spooky, educational, and interesting as hell. I'm really glad the algorithm brought me here. Great content, man!” Another person @hinglemingleberry253 praised the diver and wrote, “I just realized you don't have millions of subscribers, this is crazy good content for a small channel. No clickbait, no nonsense. You, sir, are worth a subscription.” A third YouTube user @Fibobe chimed in and stated, “This is some amazing stuff! I love the ocean and have been looking for something like this for a long time. Keep making content, bro, please!”
