"No, this video isn’t upside-down!
The underwater world can feel like outer space - nearly weightless, silent, and full of strange lifeforms that seem to defy gravity. Here, a slipper lobster effortlessly crawls along the ceiling of a small cave at Tavolara Island in Sardinia, Italy. Unlike their clawed cousins, slipper lobsters have flat, shovel-like antennae they use to sense their surroundings, and powerful legs that let them grip rock even when they’re upside-down. They’re built for a life in tight spaces, often hiding in crevices during the day and emerging at night to feed.
It’s moments like these that make diving feel like stepping into another planet — one where the rules of gravity and movement don’t quite apply."
