Unwind and relax in the tranquil sunlit water of the Monterey Bay 〰️⁠ ⁠

The ocean’s glistening sunlit waters teem with life. As MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles descend at the beginning of a dive and ascend at the end of their mission, we capture many mesmerizing moments on camera.

Dolphins playfully frolic, sunfish casually flap, gelatinous life floats, baby octopus jet, sea nettles gently pulse, and seabirds flit their little feet. Relax and enjoy these captivating scenes from the shallow open water of Monterey Bay.

And if you need even more meditative moments, check out the full Deep RelaxOcean playlist on our YouTube channel.
