Free Diving the California Coast and Catalina Island

Fantastic content man, keep it up!

Nice

I remember being a little kid on vacation there kayaking with my dad and being so freaked out when we paddled right over a huge kelp forest. As you can imagine, looking down into that water as a kiddo their imagination goes wild. It was beautiful but simultaneously made me feel so uneasy

Your editing skills along with your smooth description you deliver along with your narration. Your videos are the quality of a national geographic film with Jaques Cousteau.

Love the content! What gear are you usinng including the camera? Quality is absolutely sick mate 👌

I really enjoy how you narrate your videos, it feels like I’m inside of a book haha. I’ve had a rough day but this video is so helpful as I feel so relaxed now :) Thanks for posting what you do, I just discovered you yesterday and can’t wait to see what new content you come up with. Best of luck 💙

thank you for your videos your diving videos always gelp me beat my thallasophobia a little bit

If you see this comment what hat do you have on at the start of the video it’s sick also killer video dude!

Really cool shots!
Omer stingray plastic fins! Awesome choice for shore diving, super comfy foot pockets and indestructible :)
There is a whole reef not far from where you were at point dume but the viz is often not great due to currents. Try during a slack tide and quarterly moon with little wind and its freakin Caribbean.

I will make it there one day. Its one of about a million places I cant wait to explore. What kind of camera do you use?

This is an EPIC video, I love all the descriptions of the exploring the underwater world! You really describe it well, makes it feel like we are right there. Motivates me to get out there and explore!! Also the kelpfish shot was breathtaking.

From the thumbnail picture I thought it was Subnautica video

This is amazing I’ve always been fascinated by marine life. I’d love to see you make a video on how to get into doing this , your advice and just overall insight on this beautiful hobby. Thoroughly enjoyed all the videos on ur channel just finished watching all :)

holy wow what an underrated channel! the camera quality and narration makes these videos like mini-documentaries

loved this video!

Catalina dive off the casino is my fav dive shop. The people there are SOOO nice and so much fun. I learned to dive with them and I’d say it’s def worth it to dive with them. They’d love to dive with you too if they are free 😎

My first time snorkeling was off of Catalina, I remember a moment where I was just floating on the surface, watching the kelp and sea grass below me flow back and forth with the tide, and feeling my body move with it. It was really incredible :)

Good thing he went to California last month💀

Awesome video btw

Thank you for sharing these incredible shots with us! Your channel is one of my new favorites. I love the slow pacing, relaxing music, and beautiful shots of nature. Keep up the good work, I hope your channel explodes you deserve it!

Nice vid brotha😃 w editing

uhhh colder dives i like it 😊😊

can you comment on the model of snorkel you use? is it a Cressi Corfu, by chance? Thanks !! If so, how do you like it?

Holy shit man great video as a local to most of these areas, I am just stunned what you managed to film and find

You went at just the right time, it's unfortunate what's happening in California now.

subnautica irl

Thank you. Such a beautiful, peaceful, calming video.

Can you bring home a lobster to eat?

Seriously great content man

love the cinematography with every shot...

Breathtaking! I had goosebumps just watching. I hope we will never lose places like this.

Hi Joseph, the way you articulate and explain your observations is incredible! Do you write the voice over for each video in advance as it covers such a depth of knowledge?!? Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful videos and I greatly look forward to seeing more of your adventures!!!

I went to the Bahamas recently and decided to snorkel around one of the islands our cruise stopped at and I managed to see a Sea Turtle, it was a amazing experience, also a bunch of other fish, even tho a lot of the habitat was gone

Im so proud and blessed to live and grow up here in Cali with our stunning underwater world

this looks like subnautica

If you come again you should try Monterey or Santa Cruz. Tons of fish but also mammals like otters, dolphins, seals and sea lions. The seals will play with you underwater, it's really something

Wow!! I live in Florida and love our coasts down here, but the California coast is so magical and beautiful 😄

Absolutely stunning shots and very interesting insights on the wildlife you encountered. No chance of seeing a GWS there ?

I love the music you use in your videos

Watch out for a stalker

You're like the pecos hank of diving

your shots are amazing! I just love the ecosystem of kelp forests! Kepp it up this is some amazing work :)

That lobster pile. Wow. What a party

amazing video! you should come back to SoCal to film a White sea bass hunt, I usually see 10+ sightings of 400lb black seabass and yellowtail and if you're lucky a WSB. one of the most elusive fish in the world.

Love it, a calm video and its rlly rlly nice to watch it to relax
