Thank you for this amazing footage. I am a California diver and have been landlocked in Utah for far too long. The video on this is wonderful. I have to get back there. I gotta say I wasn't a fan of the still shots - it took me out of the experience. I also felt a little claustrophobic because I couldn't hear the regulator or bubbles - LOL - I know I am weird. I was also hoping for softer or no music. Just my preferences - I know most people like the music, I just like to get as close to the real thing as possible since I am landlocked. Grateful you posted this, it helped me start my day off right. Love seeing God's creations through your lens. Thank you Thank you.
Think you caught and Island Kelpfish hanging out with the lobster @8:10. Great find and great video overall. Haven't seen many Ocean Whitefish in SoCal dive videos either.
Nice, but water too cold and you can see all this stuff free diving in Laguna. Crescent Bay has lots of sea lions. Last time I swam there at high tide I watched as sheepshead came up on the shallow reef, 15 ft of water. It found an octopus, chased and fought it a few minutes and devoured it.
Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve any of this if you’re reading this the God that loves you and cares for you made all of these things just be speaking it, do your part and let’s take care of the amazing creation he has blessed us with
I didn’t snorkel but I believe you can see a lot just by snorkeling unless the vis is bad. Hard to say about sharks. I’ve never seen large sharks but they do exist.
I dive the Santa Cruz and Anacapa island fairly regularly and we do see sharks from time to time. Just came across a 15’ white shark about a month ago around 40’ deep at Anacapa. But we also see them close to mainland shore too so they’re just out there, being sharky. 🤷♂️
Amazing video! Great clarity and I love how the sunlight comes through. Thanks for sharing this.
God has the most beautiful creations! Hallelujah
Man how I miss diving the Channel Islands. Your video has brought back great memories, diving from the Specter out of Ventura. Thx.
Thanks!
It's to see the marine life flourishing there again. It used to be completely fished out by commercial fishing, party boats and private boat owners.
Thanks for sharing the beauty down there. Brings back many great memories. Glad to see the kelp forests and habitat are surviving
I see my Sheephead bro right at the beginning! Great video!
Love it! The kelp forest is healthy there.

This is gorgeous footage... I love this.
Great video can not wait to dive there!

Great photography, nice video.
Mesmerizing.
Cool video, amazing dive
Really Nice video! Feel in the water! Thx

Also a lot of "Calico" Kelp Bass in there. What is the fish that crosses in front of the big Sheephead at 7:35? Blacksmith maybe?
Yes a blacksmith. Lots of them near channel islands.
We have lost over 95 % of our Forests in Australia with our hope standing on the shoulders of a small planting in Tasmania
Cool video bro! Amazing visibility ❤👌What was the depth? Do you have redfilter on?
No more than 30ft. No filters used.
can you see much by snorkeling level? also should i be concerned about sharks?

Thank you both! I did end up snorkeling at anacapa (not too far away was a dead seal). I'm glad I did it though, despite my concerns about sharks.
