How do animals breathe in water? How does the sea change as we go deeper? How are people able to see what is below the surface, and how do some plants and animals living in the sea survive? Fish have gills so they can take oxygen from the water. When people go deeper into the water, they use scuba tanks. Some scuba divers prepare to look at creatures that live further below the surface of the water. Special vehicles are used to view the amazing creatures that live in the deepest, darkest depths of the sea.
