There have been some pretty cool SF books, movies, and tv shows set in marine environments, and I wish there were more. Let's post about sci fi set under the sea!


one of my favorite short stories is Roger Zelazny's The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth, which is about a dude trying to catch a sea monster on Venus. It's good af and in typical Zelazny fashion really well written. It also has one of the most esoteric final lines of any story I've read.

If we're talking early stuff I'd be remiss not to mention MS Found in a Bottle by Poe, its a sort of nautical dark fantasy I guess you could say. Descent Into the Maelstrom is also really good but there's not much fantastical about it iirc.

When I was a little kid one of the networks had the movie on once a year. I got to stay up until the squid fight. I never knew until later that the movie ends just after that or that Nemo dies. The Nautilus was steampunk before steampunk was a thing. I still love the design of that ship and still love that movie.

idk if you've ever seen The Mysterious Island but track it down if you haven't, its one of my favorite adventure movies, has effects by ray harryhausen and is a direct sequel to 20,000 leagues.
