The cutthroat eel Ilyophis arx shows up constantly in NOAA ROV expeditions — deep canyons off the US coast, unnamed Pacific seamounts, even the Mariana Trench. Made a short documentary on it using real ROV footage from multiple NOAA expeditions and the 2018 DeepCCZ swarm recording from the University of Hawaii Deep Sea Fish Ecology Lab.

In 2016 a giant isopod was recorded at 5,830 metres below the surface. For context that's deeper than most military submarines can operate. These things have survived every mass extinction in Earth's history and can go five years without a single meal. Made a short video on them.
