ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Benthoscope

A benthoscope is like a special camera that scientists use to see what's happening in the deep and dark underwater world. It's sort of like a periscope that goes down to the sea floor. The benthoscope has a light so it can shine a bright beam and show us all the cool creatures and plants that live underwater. Scientists use it to learn about what goes on in the ocean, like how animals behave and what they eat. It's like a secret window into the underwater world!
