These organisms produce these lights for different reasons such as to attract mates, for protection and attraction of other animals for food. Some of the oceanic organisms that are synonymous with bioluminescence are lanternfish, mauve stinger or glowing jelly fish, dragonfish, Syllid fireworms, among others (Davis et al, 2014). Bioluminescence happens mostly in marine vertebrates as well as invertebrates. The chemical reaction mostly entails a pigment referred to as luciferin which produces a light. This triggers a reaction in the organisms leading to the dazzling lights in the ocean. Bioluminescence occurs due to the contact of various chemicals found in some oceanic organisms with the surface oxygen. During the night, if one is at the right place at the right place, it is possible for one to see beach water glow or scintillate with what appears to be blue colored lights. The other ocean phenomenon is the bioluminescences which are very attractive. The strongest maelstrom in the world is known as Saltstraumen which is located thirty kilometers east of Bodo town in Norway (Ophaug, Breili and Gerlach, 2015). However, maelstroms are surely a threat to smaller crafts and boats. In most cases, it is very unlikely that a maelstrom without the aid of other powerful natural occurrences such as tsunamis can be a threat to large ships. There are different explanations to this phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle with an explanation that the presence of methane could be the main cause of the phenomenon. One of the widely known maelstroms is the Bermuda triangle which is believed to have ‘swallowed’ numerous number of sea motors with no trace. Although a maelstrom has a strong downdraft power, its power is always exaggerated. Maelstroms are so powerful that they are capable of pulling or ‘sucking’ objects from the surface of the oceans such as boats and ships making them very dangerous and fearful. This is a strong and powerful whirlpool caused by tides. One of the most known ocean phenomenon is the maelstrom. This paper explores some of the mysteries and phenomenon found in the oceans and the sea. The oceans and the seas have been associated with various mysteries and phenomenon that continue to be a puzzle to many people and researchers as they try to solve them. The ocean provides a scenic view and a place to recreate for many people around the world. Oceans occupy most of the world’s available space with over 70 percent of the world covered by oceans.
