Stingrays feeding in the wild
Stingrays have gotten a bad reputation lately due to Steve Irwin's death. It's unfair. They are beautiful and peaceful creatures. They will defend if they feel attacked, but they are not out to get anyone. Most of their time is spent searching for food buried in the sand.
This series of stingrays was captured on multiple dives on different days at different sites. Please approach stingrays with caution and an open mind. And no more Steve Irwin jokes please. What happened to him was tragic, yet these animals are wild. Enjoy their majesty.

SCUBA diving from a live aboard in the California Channel Islands
This is GREAT footage!
Thanks. Love all the rays. These were in Cayman Brac. So fun to watch.
Thank you for the video. It was enjoyable to watch, especially when I love kayaking. I'll definitely visit Elkhorn.
Enjoy the paddle! Such a wonderful place for wildlife.
Beautiful video!
Thank you! Cheers!
I had a nearly 30 minute dive following one last month in Bonaire. I have a great 4K video (GoPro made the last 3 minutes or so into a separate file) that is a little over 25 minutes long. It was such an incredible dive.
That's great! So happy you had that experience. They are one of my favorite animals. I'll take a look at your video.
Yes misslang California 😢 I remember walking there with My girl friend back in the day definitely the best days of my life.. still in love with you 😮....
I'm about to leave California too, and before I even leave I already miss it.
Beautiful drone capture. So smooth is the ride.
Many thanks! It's one of my favorite places to go when I just need to think.
Worked at that power plant couples times.
Thank you for this video, it's a year and 1/2 later but I would enjoy paddling that slough. Another paddler with a channel stated you have to be very experience or an expert to paddle the slough, it doesn't seem like it but I would love to see the wildlife!
Really? A friend is taking me there as my first time paddling tomorrow. Should I be worried?
@@Ziyanda1111 Elkhorn slough is a very easy paddle. You should be fine. The wind often blows hard in the afternoon, and there might be a light chop on the water. At times, it can blow very hard making it hard to paddle against. Go in the morning, and if there is wind on your return stick close to the side with the trees. Have fun! It's a wonderful paddle.
You should try it. You do not need a lot of experience to paddle it. If you're unsure, there are guided tours that will make you feel at easy. Contact Monterey Bay Kayak or Kayak Connection. The both operate out of the slough and offer trips. You can also rent a kayak from them and do your own thing. Going out of the harbor into open ocean does require more experience than the slough. So perhaps that's what your friend was referencing?
@@travgal9903 it was excellent, I enjoyed every minute of it😁😍
@@travgal9903 I already went and I had fun I even left them a review with pictures
is that legal to fly in that area? I ve heard that area is a state park and it's forbidden to operate the drone!
I really enjoyed this video. Elkhorn is one of my favorite places.
Thanks Debbie! One of my favorite places also.
🤙
🤙🤙
Many thanks!
Great video! I like your camerawork and the nice, tranquil sounds you added! ;-) I was looking for a good video to show my 5 year old, who we're hoping to take out there soon! I think he really liked the images he saw here, and that we may have convinced him how cool it is! ;-D Cheers!
Thanks so much! I hope the family has a great trip! We go there regularly and see something new every time.
NICE! Love pigeon point lighthouse. keep safe always guys:)
Many thanks! One of my favorite places.
I work for Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and there is a federal law that prohibits any aerial vehicles under 1,000 feet below mean high tide along the entire Big Sur coast. This includes drones. While I understand this may not be known to all hobby drone pilots (I'm one, too!), I'm just here to inform you that this does violate our prohibited fly zone. It has to do with sensitive bird colonies that roost up and down the coast. Don't worry, the federal government won't come "after" you for this, but I would advise that you take this and other similar videos down sooner rather than later. Thanks! BTW, here is the no-fly zone on a map with a short explanation: nmsmontereybay.blob.core.windows.net/montereybay-prod/media/materials/maps/overflight1_full.jpg
This is all footage I've never seen before. I like how you broke these up into small section and showed us the details in each one.
Many thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It's such a beautiful place.
I haven't been on this highway since I got a drone. It's so cool to see the landscape from this perspective!
Thanks - It's a majestic highway.
I never knew these salt marshes existed. Great video!
Thanks for watching. Yes, I've driven by this marsh for years and never stopped. So glad that I finally did.
Oh, that's cool! Thank you for risking your drone for the rest of us. : )
Thanks! I lost a drone a couple of years ago to a tree and I do get nervous sometimes.
I love its deimatic behavior, or defense tactic. Before resorting to inking and dashing away, when the Common Octopus or Caribbean Reef Octopus percieve a threat, they’ll turn that light blue color with darkened skin around the eyes and proceed to flatten themselves in order to make themselves look larger and more threatening. If that doesn’t work, then it’s ink time!
They have amazing characteristics! On this encounter he was trying to get away from a blue runner that was pecking at him. I kept my distance and tried to keep from adding to the stress. He never inked. The blue runner never went away.
Worst music I ever heard
Thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry you didn't like it. What type of music do you think would fit better?
The landscape around the road is awesome. Nice video!
Thanks friend!
Lovely tunnel tide. Beautiful drive!
Many thanks friend.
Wow! Brilliant capture, my friend! Hopefully the landslide didn't affect you much!
Thanks! I'm far north of the slide.
Nice fly them before remote id is a thing
Thanks. Yes, remote ID will be challenging. I fly responsibly and abide by the laws, but so many times it's hard to determine where you can and can't fly with conflicting agencies claiming jurisdiction.
Wow, that is some super dynamic terrain. Jealous! Great drone work, btw. Really relaxing.
Many thanks! It's a beautiful place.
Smooth flying and a great capture of the arteries of the marsh lands.
Thanks friend!
Great drone footage of Partington Cove! Lovely walk!
Glad you enjoyed it
visibility is very clear too...love how the manta rays glide close to the camera...
The mantas were feeding in the flurry of life that my lights attract. That brings them in close. Thanks for watching.
Nice video.
Thanks for the visit
Really beautiful shots buddy..!!
Thanks Ross!

From sunny California to sunny Portugal thanks for watching! Have a great start to 2021!
I love the combination of drone & hand held camera, great video indeed! I wish we don't have much of drone restrictions here.
Thanks. The restrictions are getting really hard to figure out.
love it! the water is clear & lots of marine life...
Yes, lovely water! Many thanks.
Another great video!
Many thanks!
Very nice video, you've captured some amazing footage. I'll need to check out some of your other videos.
Many thanks!
Another nice video! I kept waiting for the overhead view though. No drone that day? Nice subtle music with the narrative. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks! Yes, I left the drone out. I would love to drone over the channels cut into the sides of the slough though. Will have to think about how to make that one happen since there is little access.
Nice
Thanks and happy 2021!
Nice video when's a good time to travel to that light house. That day in your video is amazing. Great job on captain a beautiful memory.
Any day with sun is a great day. We've been having some sunny days in December this year, but rain is coming. With covid some of the exhibits are currently closed, but you can still walk around the outside park.
You got some really good footage of such a beautiful park. Seems to be a gorgeous place to hike. This video has convinced me that we need to get a drone. Thanks for taking us along on your travels!
Many thanks! Andrew Molera is worth spending at least a day. And yep, get a drone!
Beautiful place and great video,good job
Many thanks! Yes, it is lovely.
I like it! I never use stills. Good idea. The mood music works. Merry Christmas.
Many thanks. It was such a spectacular place and the stills give me a feeling of still being there.
Oh my, we have never seen Octopus before while diving! I hope we get to one day!
You will. Just keep diving. Night diving is best for octopi, this one is diurnal.
We love sea turtles so much!! Definitely our favorite thing to see in the ocean! Thank you for sharing the beauty that they are! Cannot wait to watch more of your videos!
Many thanks!
Nice footage
many thanks - it was a great encounter
Many thanks! It was a great encounter.
@@travgal9903 I visited Bonaire years ago, it's the last place on my list for me to revisit. But your encounter looks awesome. Cheers
Looks stunning diving in Bonaire. Was meant to be there next month on drive and dive package but.... we’ll we all know.
Hope you get to go soon when this all ends. It's great island.
Awesome video 👍..I was here few months back
Thanks! This is my local lighthouse about a half hour away. During Shelter in place when I get cabin fever it's my destination.
@@travgal9903 Lucky you, I am from a different country altogether.
How long distance wise is this kayak from del monte beach to lovers point?
Thanks for watching! It's roughly 5 miles round trip from Del Monte beach to Lovers Point. It's a great paddle on calm days. The point around the Monterey Bay Aquarium gets a little bumpy in rough seas.
Dopesauce!!
Wow cooool! Wish i can see 1❤
Monterey Bay has whales year round. The humpbacks are often very close to shore and always amazing to see. I feel so privileged to live close enough to enjoy them.
