Giant tube worms only live near hydrothermal vents because they don't breath oxygen but rather they breath the hot steam emmitted from the vent itself. They can grow up to 7 feet in length.

And last but definately not least is the great or collosal squid which was first made famous by the novel 20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Verne and was though to be stuff of fantasy until one of them washed up along the coast of Newfoundland Canada. They can grow up to 45 feet in length and can weigh up to 1000 lbs! They live at depths of 7000 feet. (Here's a tiny one)

I heard they dive really, really deep, and nobody can quite figure out how they do it (they apparently hold their breath too long for their lung size) nor why they do it.

I remember reading somewhere, someone guessed that they just do it for fun XD

It's intimidating to think that most of our planet is water, and it belongs to the animals in it, not us.

It's crazy to think that even when this planet is gone there will still be parts of the ocean unexplored. Not us, the actual planet. When the Earth is eradicated by an expanding sun, there will be parts of it untouched and unseen.

Guize. What's the name of that fish from the deep that has a small lamp-like thing on its forehead, with huge teeth? You know, the one that appeared in Donkey Kong, I think.

Given the size of Loch Ness, a creature of that size could dwell there.

However, many reasons point to it not being true.

We'll never find out.

1. They couldn't drain/scour the whole lake.

2. If they could, they wouldn't. They'd lose a crapload in tourist revenue.
