Aphotic Descent

Aphotic Descent is about a rescue mission to a deep-sea research facility that has been silent for months. Scientists there study creatures from the euphotic zone to the aphotic zone. When the rescue team finds a lead, a sudden force strikes their submarine. One diver escapes in a bathysphere, which crashes onto the sea floor.
