Yes, There are Giant Isopods in the Ocean

"Looking like it just crawled out of a bad science fiction movie, the giant isopod is without a doubt one of the strangest creatures found in the deep sea. Known scientifically as Bathynomus giganteus, it is one of about nine members of the genus Bathynomus." - excerpt from description at seasky.org. Also see here.
