This is a great little video showing oarfish in shallow water. Some reports of sea serpents are thought to have been inspired by these animals and it's easy to see why.

No model, no data, just a video? There's no science here (also, just posting videos in this way is not in compliance with rule 2.7, as you should know). This is not a topic for speculations. Moved.
