All those pics on the right side of that website distracted me and I started clicking on those.

The fish uses a form of location called amiiform swimming in which its dorsal fin, which runs the length of its sizable body, undulates while the body itself remains straight and motionless.

Sigh...

on survivor the past season (or possibly 2 seasons ago) one of the rewards was to go snorkeling with whale sharks. now THAT would be freaking awesome. those things were HHUUGGEEE.

Yep.

Many researchers and historians attribute Oarfish to "Sea Serpent" sightings over the past several hundred years.

First paddlefish and now oarfish, clearly evolution is heading toward propellerfish.

I noticed that too. I wonder if they pay proofreaders?

Looks like they only use spell-check.

Yea. They usually come up to die after living in the deep all their life.

What almost looks like eyes in the front, are it's nostrils. It's green eyes are inside its head.

Video in OP's link looks just like the one depicted in the 1999 animated film from Studio Ghibli, My Neighbors The Yamadas. A very brief and impresively-animated segment shows the family in a submersible while a giant oarfish swims by.
