- Hello Friends!
This is just a extra little video I made for my friends and family and I thought I would share it here as well. Last weekend I went to Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles to complete my scuba certification with my little brother Colby and my dive instructor Jimmy Shannon.
This is some of the gopro footage of the dives and from me snorkeling after the first two dives. Thanks to my brother Colby for taking most of this footage and for being my dive partner during the tests. Super thanks to Jimmy Shannon for teaching me how to dive!
My main reason for getting certified was to be able to work on the bottom of my own boat and clean it myself and of course to have the option of diving around the world during my circumnavigation.
Ever since I was a young boy and saw people diving on shipwrecks on TV I have wanted to scuba dive and I have finally gotten the to!
our regularly scheduled refit agony will still be up at the beginning of next week, this is just a fun extra video.
Fair Winds,
Sailor James

Congratz brother. I've been diving for over 30 yrs you'll be amazed at all the beauty that can be found beneath the waves. Its also good for the soul to take a break from the refit process. You don't want to burn out before you finish her. Fair winds and following seas brother
I am soooooo stoked! It is all i have thought about since diving! ugh I want to go right this minute!
Try to get atleast your Advanced open water. It will teach you better buoyancy control and you'll get to do a night dive which is scarier then hell but also amazing at the same time lol
Totally, my little brother does night dives and says it is so amazing.
That's fantastic that you got your scuba certificate it's going to be well needed when you're out there in that sailboat you can see a lot of pretty stuff..... Awesome video thanks for sharing all those pretty fish... 🦈🐟🐠🦀🐙🐌🐡🐬🐋
Thanks Bobby! yeah I can't wait to see the world both above and below the water !
Sailor James .... How about getting your camera lady in the video once in awhile... All we got to see with her hands...LOL.. sure am looking forward to your next video my friend... As always be blessed...BBE... 😀😎🐟🐋🐬
she is more stubborn than me, she avoids they camera like there is no tomorrow,,, but there are some coming episodes she is in.....
Nice vid, hoping to dive there soon too!
Yup, that was a nice big bass. I scuba dived in a swimming pool once and thought it the next best thing to being able to fly. The waters where you were look stunning. Over here visibility is very low. Nice vid, thanks for sharing.
yeah the visibility at Catalina is crazy, I have snorkeled a bunch but scuba diving was a whole other experience for sure! once I got over the anxiety of,,, oh you know,,, drowning, I did fine.
Ha, ha, that first breath is a real test...
Great video James 👍
Joy...what beauty.
Nice touch. The Cousteau beanie 😉
Nice. Lots of baby calico's.
is that the little colored fish?
No. It's the kind of spotted looking bass...www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a5/Paralabrax_clathratus.jpg/1200px-Paralabrax_clathratus.jpg&imgrefurl=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralabrax_clathratus&h=745&w=1200&tbnid=6FsQuGir9eBkqM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=200&usg=__qnucwJqyb-_MTExzVcrFtvMaA-0=&vet=10ahUKEwjEg_fIid_WAhWIiVQKHftaCpwQ_B0IoAEwEw..i&docid=5YQjfM36a1dhVM&itg=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEg_fIid_WAhWIiVQKHftaCpwQ_B0IoAEwEw#h=745&imgdii=NjLlPgXDELvHdM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=200&vet=10ahUKEwjEg_fIid_WAhWIiVQKHftaCpwQ_B0IoAEwEw..i&w=1200
oh crazy, I would have never known that that fish was a bass, thanks for the link !
beautiful footage
You will be able to make about a third to half of the bucks You need cruising with a working scuba gear and willing to do the occasional dive-job for Yachties (says someone who does not dive himself). By the way: another third could bring a sailrite sewing machine and enough current aboard to repair what the Yachties tear apart when going out twice per season.
totally! and I am always down to work! I will have a sail rite with me for sure and I know how to sew so that helps, I might try to get an apprentice ship at a sailmakers loft here in LA next year so I can learn the ins and outs of sail making and repair from the professionals.
You're begging to get picked off by a Great White
thats what i was thinking
