Sounds of the sea: what you hear underwater

The sea is not silent. It is full of sounds we do not hear above the surface.

Sounds of fish

Some fish produce sounds for communication and mating. Clicks, rumbling, and tapping are real sounds a listening diver hears.

Sounds of marine life

The pecking of parrotfish teeth on coral. The unique knocking of triggerfish. The chirping of dolphins from afar.

Listen on your next dive. The sea speaks to anyone who listens.
