- Jonathan teams up with Jeff Nelson, an expert critter spotter, to dive the Blue Heron Bridge, known for the best "muck diving" in the USA. Located in Riviera Beach, Florida, the Blue Heron Bridge is an easy shore dive filled with an amazing diversity of small marine animals--if you can find them! In this episode, Jonathan is searching for one of the rarest animals seen there--the Stargazer fish.

I don't understand how this channel doesn't have 10 million subs yet. Videography is nat geo/discovery channel quality with an entertaining host. Honestly some of the best content on youtube.
Thank you! I don't quite understand the slow growth either.
@@BlueWorldTV VERY TRUE
True, this channel looks like one of these productions on national geographic or discovery. Very professional, educational and entertaining.
Thanks for the awesome shots and great editing! Love you guys
Thanks for watching!
😍😍☺️😍
The Blue Heron Bridge is truly a special place but unfortunately it is one of the many places that is getting too popular and too overcrowded with divers doing bad things. I dive this location about 3 times per month and constantly see poor diving behavior: finning the bottom, grabbing the reefs and structures; but also unethical behavior as well: using muck sticks to stir up an animal for a photograph. I wish more divers would follow good behavior and remember to be passive observers of the environment instead of being so intrusive. But I guess that is a lot to ask for.
Going there in december, can't wait to dive ! 😍😍😍
Too bad I missed you though, two months earlier and I'd have met the team !
Keep it up !
SAME!
😇😍😍😍😍👍👊👏
Did you get to go?
@@jennrat2982 I did !
Didn't see a stargazer though ...
But the dive was amazing, spent 1h30 underwater, my longest so far ! Great viz, plenty of fish, and warm water, even for december, loved it 😍
@@MRnautilus9 Wonderful...👍☺️
I was there that day when you guys where diving with Nelson. I was waiting for this video for sooooo long hahaha. I’m glad that is finally out
YES, another upload, this warms my heart so much! Keep the amazing work up💙💙
I'll definitely have to do that dive, SO MANY AMAZING ANIMALS!
Buscando yo imi imajinasion.
+1 😉
I just added that dive to my bucket list! You filmed so many cool animals on the dive, but the stargazer was probably my favorite. This episode had a lot of funny parts too lol
They should rename it as the Keyser Soze fish.
Awesome! Thank you!
The stargazer is legit my unicorn. I was disappointed I never saw one in the Philippines. I had no idea you could find them in Florida!!
The ONLY way to find one of those things is with an expert spotter that knows where and how. I would never in a million years find one myself.
I never knew that a Flounder can move its eyes independently, like a Chameleon. That's why I love and watch your channel. I learn something new every episode!
Agreed
Agreed x2
Agree dread jonathan is always teaching me new Things richtig dread
KKonas...
You have such a funny character that makes me enjoy watching these episodes a lot;
"excuse me, sorry, coming through"
"hey baby, check out my awesome yellow fin" 🤣🤣🤣
That's "pitch-shifted Jonathan". LOL. 🤣
I'm always in awe of this channel. Makes me so nostalgic. In some ways (and the BEST ways), it doesn't feel like the videos are from this decade.
Hello Jonothan, I just wanted to say thank you so much. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have gotten certified. I have seen much marine life and it was all for you. Thank you for being so amazing. 😃
Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!
Holy crap, I dived here multiple times! Never seen the stargazer, but mingled with the octopus and myriad dinner-plate sized starfish. Such a cool dive, and extremely accessible. You can literally suit up right in the parking lot!
Yay another Blue World video! I love them! Kudos especially to the guy who provides your music. He adds a special touch the videos. Please tell him I'm a big fan of his too! 😊🤿
Record number of special species in this episode. Amazing dive site!
*Man that Frogfish stole my heart* 😭
So cute right?
Blue heron bridge is such a gem! Never know what it’s gonna throw at you. Last time I dove it I got an octopus and a horseshoe crab
The Stargazer looks a lot like a Stonefish XD
Me and my son watch one of your videos every day, we love learning about the blue world together. Thank you from England! 😊
Did you know the star of our new IMAX film is Gina Moseley from Birmingham? Any relation?
macgillivrayfreeman.com/project/ancient-caves/
@@BlueWorldTV No relation but thanks for sharing the link, the trailer looks brilliant. Are you able to stream this? We'd love to watch 👍
Another wonderful adventure. I remember your first dive at this location, one of my favorite, I think you almost got kidnapped twice by adorable octopuses. 😀
amazing frog fish, stargazer, and fire worm ‼️®™️ 👏👏
My union hall is right over that bridge, local 402 local W. Palm beach Ironworkers❕
The batfish is by far the strangest fish I've seen. The oceans are filled with amazing creatures!
High CRI diving lights would probably be helpful for distinguishing all those colors down there.
Blue heron is a great place to dive with so many different species to see. Jeff is an ambassador in protecting Blue Heron bridge too. Thanks for another great video BlueWorld Friends!
Jeff has been leading the charge in protecting this amazing place!
Fantastic filming, hope I get to dive there. Thanks !!!
Wow! I would love to go there and I was fooled that flounders were cute. The sole is super cool. At night, the fish and other marine life looks like a reality TV show. The "Here fishy fishy" was also very funny.
Ok, I've seen muck diving. But what about mud diving??
Such an odd fish, the natural world makes some crazy creatures
17:24 See guys, the size of the fin matters
Wow! So many cool creatures on these two dives!! I'm happy you were able to find the Stargazer! I was honestly just amazed at the small creatures you found that I have never even heard of!! I love this channel!! Is there any way you can increase the number of videos you put up here??? Hope you're all healthy. Stay safe!!
It's a good day when you upload! You should also have series about going muck diving around the US or the world.
Do a video with alligators next.
At 10:18 there's a snail shell that the decorator crab walks over. Practicing my snail knowledge, so wondering if someone can check and see if I'm appropriate guessing that that's an augur of some kind? Thanks in advance! I really love snails.
Subhan Allah, so fantastic!!!
Supremely interesting episode, muck diving is intriguing stuff. Thanks for the lunch break vacation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
9:54 you can see an invisible shrimp in the left
G'day Michael, I cannot thank you enough for the great work you do cleaning up our seas, You are a "The Trash Warrior", I have just retired after 50 plus years in the nursing profession and hope now to have more time to follow in your footsteps.
Its cool to know that most water front areas can say that there is a diving shop close enough. Let get more global speed organized, future friend supporters?
I'll definitely have to do that dive, SO MANY AMAZING ANIMALS!
First.
I love the attention you have brought to some of the lesser known animals that we have in Florida! There is currently a coral disease running rampant through Florida's reef tract. As one of the many many Biologist working to to save Florida's Stony corals, it'd be awesome to see you and your team cover the reef tract and Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease!
That's a good idea. Next time we are down that way we will do a story about that. Send me an email please with your contact info!
I would love to see a video about that. Definitely an important issue for our reefs.
Jumping jellyfish, Jonathan!
What the heck is a stargazer?
I live only a hour away and someway how I still haven't gone here, but I will be coming here soon to snorkel and free dive, and maybe even in more in the future scuba dive
Are there any plans for more merch designs in the future? I love the current one and have zero complaints, just curious!
What do you think we should add? Open to ideas!
I love how he lifted your hand ever so gently like "here ya go, don't need you gettin stuck" 😂😂
I felt soooooo touched when seeing you guys finally found the stargazer!!! BlueWorld is amazing!!! Thank you!!!
I used to dive in lakes and would never surface by the dive flag. Boaters used it as a turning pylon.
very nice video, keep going
I’ve always wanted scuba dive but I can only snorkel in the pool
15:37 is the fire worm like an underwater centipede
Yes, it's similar. Fire worms are marine bristle worms. They look kinda fuzzy, but that's not soft fuzz...it's actually tiny needles, and they are venomous. So contact with them produces a painful rash that takes a while to heal. Definitely not something you want to touch!
17:01 hey Jonathan have u noticed that barracuda in the background at the top right corner of the vid?
Very well filmed, narrated, and edited. Excellent.
Thanks!
It's the Intracoastal Waterway, not the Intercoastal Waterway.
I am 8 and I love the ocean I swam 5meters
Yes only 1 time
I love this show
Amazing
I MISS YOU!!!! I’ve been watching you on clever it was kid reading app! And i love watching about the shark ones! Your a legend dude!!
Welcome!
I absolutely love your channel. I learn so much. And though I won’t be able to scuba dive due to my lung issues I can enjoy the videos you make because it’s like being there seeing what you see without ever getting into the water😀
Star gazer reporting via wondering...
Hey ever thought of checking the diving near sunken city of atlantis?
❤
I am impressed by how you focus on small sea creatures. It just goes to show how your dive team goodness attracts better star gazer chances. Yes. A rare find indeed.
I wonder how big they can get?
Also those fire worms crawling around and also getting a shot at in going into a sand hole area.
I believe those creatures might and could get bigger and talented.
May i ask out of. All the muck diving you did before, is it best to aim for slack tide times for better under water creature ratios of availability and motivation? Compared to night diving?
Also that batfish had a particular cool way of limbic coordination and styled motion. It felt as it is in tranformational direction of it's timing?
So cool.
Thanks guys for exampling with such areas and range of likely hood.
Hello Everyone,
How are you all
Hi!
I remember when I caught a stargazer it was in cape Charles Virginia and I didn’t know what it was at the time but luckily it didn’t shock me
Hopefully you let it go!
Force E? I’ve been there! They’re great!
12:38 one of my favorite jellyfish, they can actually sleep much like a box jelly
Jeff dives this site nearly every day…!
Nice video. I'm going to BHB July 6, 2022, for a few days.
So much fun.
So interesting and beautiful!
This video was very interesting 🤨
Very interesting, thank you!
Pls go diving in malaysia's langkawi
At 05:45 Bat fish in Florida and Bat Fish in Indo Pacific waters are 2 very different species indeed.
Yeah, common names are inconsistent, which is the reason why we have scientific names.
hi, i wanna see you scuba diving where atlantic and pacific ocean meets. i searched many times but no video there. is it dangerous .
It's cold!
Bridge jumping anyone?
This was AMAZING! I knew that I wanted to dive BHB one of these days, but now I have moved it up to the top of my list. Those green colored Trunk Fish were so unusual and so cool looking! One of the best BHB videos yet! Force E Scuba is said to be the best place to dive with too. 👌
Try to get Jeff as your divemaster!
Great and interesting video!
Intracoastal not intercoastal
OMG, this is amazing!
I love this channel!
I'm excited to see the beauties of Blue Heron Bridge, and the adventure
I wonder why there's so few views on your videos recently. In my opinion your recent videos are some of your best.
Maybe try a different title? Veritasium noticed the title makes a huge difference.
Yeah, apparently I need to name videos something like "Killer stargazer eats divers alive" or some kind of dishonest switchbait to get views.
@@BlueWorldTV Lmao, yeah sadly...
Maybe something like "THIS FISH can only LOOK UP??! 😱"
It's not a lie!
I want a Frogfish
I love your videos I can’t wait to go back to the blue heron bridge
It's awesome!
@@BlueWorldTV I agree it was my first time in salt water it was a last ditch effort to dive as the boats were all blown out and I’m not disappointed
I have dove here!
Many of the artificial reef structures at Blue Heron Bridge were built by REEF CELLS. They have built reef structures for FWC, NOAA, UM etc. in the Fl Keys, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Barbuda, Antigua etc.
Amazing images
i love this
I'm early
Nice 😁 BHB is always a great time. I’m still on the hunt for the frogfish
SUPER
nice😍😍😍
Amazing
Cool, I just saw a stargazer in NYC. Northern stargazer.
Had no idea they were found that far north!
@@BlueWorldTV I saw it on the beach. Some rod and reel guy caught it and was letting it die on the beach. I asked if they were going to eat it. He said "no" so i took a photo and threw it back. I heard they are good for eating but this was small, and there is no point in killing fish you don't eat. Some caught them in Jersey. I went in the water recently and there were a lot of smooth dogfish sharks. Nice to see. I saw also plenty of burrfish and pufferfish this summer. Pretty interesting and easy to fitm, especially the burrfish.
Just went to blue heron bridge with force e scuba, sadly didn't get to see a stargazer 😔
But the dive was amazing and the my guide was super nice ! 🤩🤩
Thanks for the advice 😍
Stargazer looks like a small Whale Shark, I loved it!
Thank you for this amazing content Blue World Team
17:20 Female dragonet: "I like Jeffs's yellow fins more! So get out!!!"
The upside down Jellyfish is being upside down because it points the tentacles upwards just like an sea anemone. That helps to catch it’s prey much better with it’s stinging tentacles pointing upwards. 12:40
I love that Force E, their refrigerated fill system gives you cold to touch fills at service pressure in 15 minutes flat.
I went whale watching in Boston Massachusetts. I also seen the New England aquarium.
This was easily the best video I've seen on this channel. So many weird and unique creatures!
