'''Sea''' ('''planckLength''' in-game, '''SEA''' on YouTube, formerly known as '''Sea1997''') was a popular English YouTuber and former ''Geometry Dash'' player, known for his content surrounding ''Geometry Dash''<nowiki/>'s lore and community. His videos received acclaim for their relative professionalism and depth, with some of the most successful series on his channel being ''The Legends Series'', ''Maps from Hell Series'' and ''GD Theories'', but criticism for his sometimes unprofessional and pessimistic attitude, especially towards other players (highlighted by his diss track about [[Cyrillic]] and participation in one about [[ToshDeluxe]]) and the decline in the quality of his ''Geometry Dash''-related content. While not a frequent player or level creator, Sea kept in touch with the community thanks to his numerous videos and his own ''Geometry Dash'' 'news show' called ''G-News''.

On 20 March 2019, Sea announced that he would quit ''Geometry Dash'' and content creation surrounding it,<ref>https://youtu.be/orhBWS_u2p0</ref> and would begin to un-list existing videos about the game and its community. Among reasons cited for this decision, Sea noted that his previously mentioned content on outer space was much more rewarding personally and on the platform, and he had gained perspective by temporarily shutting himself from the mishaps of the ''Geometry Dash'' community. However, he will still occasionally comment on ''Geometry Dash'' videos from time to time, such as [[Riot]]'s completion of [[Athanatos]].

Sea's playlist containing his unlisted videos about Geometry Dash has 51 of the 221 videos privatised, most caused by YouTube's 2021 unlisted videos purge, where any unlisted video uploaded before 2017 would automatically become privatised. There is currently only one surviving video before 2017, the '[[Cyclic]]' video of the Legends Series. Many videos were lost, with either no archive on The Wayback Machine or an archive with the actual video missing.

*'''Sea vs Cyrillic:''' In August 2017, [[Cyrillic]], known for making the level [[Silent Circles]], made a face reveal, resulting in Sea making a joke about him looking like North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Cyrillic then made five videos about this drama, making Sea want a conversation with him. They talked it out, and eventually, they made up. Then, about a week later, Cyrillic made another video about Sea that pushed him to the limit to talk about this guy in a 20-minute video titled 'The Truth About Cyrillic', where he talked about all the bad stuff Cyrillic did.<ref>https://youtu.be/b45X9rqtBWY</ref> Cyrillic followed up on this video by saying that Sea was lying about everything he said in this video. The video was photoshopped, and Sea got so mad at Cyrillic that he had to make an entire diss track about him titled Wannabe.<ref>https://youtu.be/3Ec62ycxmc0</ref>

Videos
Below is a sample of Sea's various series and content. All videos are unlisted and in a playlist on his YouTube channel.
The Toxin Lab series (The first Maps from Hell to make a permanent change, being voiced rather than texted (Planet Circles was voiced but made before Blade of Justice's, which was texted.))
Other than the main series on his channel, he often uploads several miscellaneous videos on specific topics, including rants (or moaning as he likes to call it) towards a point of interest or infamy.
He 'moaned' about Exasperation and Jake Paul's Top 10 videos.
One of his levels, Betrayal of Fear, was cancelled because of the backlash towards the level's gameplay and design.
His profile picture was taken from the Infinity Blade Trilogy.
His previous username was 'Sea1997'. However, he decided to change his alias officially to 'Sea' as he started to feel that the name did not sound professional anymore.
Although he retired from Geometry Dash and his videos from Geometry Dash were unlisted, his 'GD' playlist is still available on his channel.[7]
