About this listen

The ocean covers most of our planet, but we still barely know what’s hiding beneath the surface. On The Deep Dive, we take you into the weirdest, creepiest, and most fascinating legends from the deep — from the Bermuda Triangle to lost cities like Atlantis, ghost ships, sea monsters, and the strange places science still can’t explain. If you’re into mysteries, myths, or just love stories that make you wonder what’s really out there, you’re in the right place. New episodes every day — come dive with us.Ethan Xu Social Sciences

  • Oceanic Death Zones: The Vile Vortices
    May 2 2025

    The Bermuda Triangle is just the beginning.
    Around the globe, twelve mysterious regions defy logic — places where ships vanish, instruments fail, and strange energies ripple through the sea and sky.
    They’re known as the Vile Vortices.

    In this episode, we follow the trail of researcher Ivan T. Sanderson’s chilling theory: that hidden across the Earth are twelve oceanic danger zones, perfectly spaced in a global pattern — from the Devil’s Sea near Japan to the South Atlantic Anomaly, from the Algerian Megalith Zone to a deadly stretch off the coast of Easter Island.

    What’s behind these anomalies?
    Are these natural phenomena — magnetic fields, gravity shifts, methane eruptions, or rogue waves?
    Or do they hint at something more — time slips, ley lines, or ancient gateways?

    As we drift from vortex to vortex, The Deep Dive investigates the science, the conspiracies, and the stories of those who sailed in… and never returned.

  • The Lost City of the Cuban Atlantis
    May 1 2025

    In 2001, deep-sea sonar scans off the coast of Cuba revealed something shocking: massive symmetrical stone structures nearly 2,000 feet beneath the surface — a submerged city that shouldn’t exist.

    Was this a sunken part of human history?
    An ancient civilization lost to time — or a geological illusion?

    In this episode, we dive into the mystery of what some have called the Cuban Atlantis.
    We explore the expedition led by a Canadian-Cuban research team, the sonar images that stunned scientists, and the eerie silence that followed.
    With no official follow-up and strange gaps in coverage, conspiracy theories took over:
    Was it ancient aliens, lost pre-Ice Age civilizations… or a cover-up?

    From tectonic shifts to megalithic ruins, The Deep Dive uncovers the truth behind one of the ocean’s most controversial discoveries.

  • The Ghost Island of Bermeja: Mexico’s Missing Landmass
    May 1 2025

    For centuries, maps showed a tiny island off the Yucatán Peninsula called Bermeja — a speck of land that appeared on naval charts, Spanish records, and international atlases.
    Then, sometime between the 18th century and now… it vanished.

    Modern satellites find nothing.
    Naval sonar finds nothing.
    But conspiracy theories? They find everything.

    In this episode, we dive deep into the mystery of Bermeja:
    A disappearing island tied to high-stakes oil rights, shifting maritime borders, and geopolitical tension between Mexico and the United States.
    Was Bermeja destroyed — possibly by the CIA to manipulate Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone?
    Or was it simply a cartographic myth — one phantom among many in ocean history?

    From ghostly charts to classified allegations, The Deep Dive explores a vanishing that changed a nation’s borders… and left behind more questions than answers.
