Today is the day we visited the Sea of Marmara. When we were there me, Jamar and Aurteamus tried to see who could reach to bottom of the sea it never happened. Because the sea is 1,370m deep. The person that went way down was aurteamus because he had a divin suit but he still didnt make to the bottom.When we were there visiting there was a guy that was tellin some stuff about the Sea of Marmarait he told us that in 1999 on December 29th a bad storm hit and the Russian oil tanker Volgoneft broke in two in the Sea of Marmara, and more than 1500 tonnes of oil were spilled into the water.The sea gets its name from the island of marmara.On the small island of Imrali that is in the Sea of Marmara stands a maximum-security prison that holds only one inmate, Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of PKK, a Kurdish terrorist group. When we heard that we got scared but then we wanted to sea it. so we got on boat and went passed the prison. After that we messured to see how many miles wide it was it was about 50miles wide. From northeast to southwest it is 175 miles long.
