- Diving with wild alligators! This was a fun outing exploring a new spot with Kevin and George. We saw lots of gators, fish, and turtles!
Don’t swim with gators! Says the guy swimming with gators! 😂 but seriously, do not enter the water in gator habitat, if you want to swim with a gator come do one of my tours!! I’ve been diving with wild alligators AND crocodiles here in Florida, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Botswana, these are apex predators and I like to remind everyone I am a trained professional, never try anything in my videos on your own, and if you want to see a gator in the water come join one of my tours, safely! #animaleducation #animals #alligator #gator #animal
Ugh, no thank you! I leave this to pros like you!
My anxiety watching this 📈📈📈
😂
Amazing video Chris 🤩 its awesome that you can share these videos with us. You share events that would be terrifying in person to someone like myself, whos never been in a situation like that before, in such a calm way its almost tranquil. These videos are my favorite videos that you do, the mellow/calm voice overs of wild animals in the everglades. Take care and best wishes
Thanks so much!
Mammoth tusks easy 1k$??@@GatorChris_
Im a simple man. I see chris with gators. I watch.
Thank you for taking us! That was awesome 💚
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could watch videos of you hiking through or diving in the Everglades all day long, this was awesome!💚
Thank you!
Thank you Chris for the amazing video 👏👏👏. It's so wonderful to see so many gators in the wild.I love the way crocodilia swim, with their hind legs all tucked back!So stinkin' rad,as Clint would say!I still recall that one fabulous video when you came across a wild gator only yards from a wild American crocodile,both just chillin' on the bottom! Absolutely superb!
Happy new year to Chris,Gabby and all the precious animals you rescue.
👍👍👍🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊
Yes, crocodilians and lizards swim elegantly using a very muscular tail.
So cool, thank you for sharing with us.
I so enjoyed this underwater tour of yours. I would much rather watch these alligators through your camera lens. Thanks for doing this.
You have balls of steel
I find the under water activity of gators interesting. The fact that you can swim up to there face and they won’t move.. very interesting with the membranes
Wow, that was so awesome!
I love to see how the silt comes off the gator and the way he takes off!
The turtles are beautiful. I didn't know they could swim that fast!
There's a lot going on beneath the surface, we have no idea about. Thanks for always warning us how extremely dangerous it is to swim with alligators if youre not capable to handle them.
It is so beautiful and calm, and the mangrove roots makes it look like an underwater forest
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you, so fascinating !
🙌
I’ve been a fan for 2 Yrs & I Finally Found Your TH-cam Through Your Recent Post I’ll Be Binging All Night😂😂 Keep Posting Love Your Work I Love Animals but R Too Scared Of Wild Ones🖤
Haha thank you !
God must have given you a few extra doses of “courageous” when he created you. Another cool and educational video!! ❤️
This is the only youtuber im checking up on now and again to make sure he hasn't gotten eaten.
Thank you for showing us this world - I would never be one of those photographers asking to go with you! Absolutely the right thing to tell them all NO and only dive with others who have your experience. People need to know it's not casual recreation.
Would love to hear and see more about your fossil diving!
Love this content too! ❤ thanks for all the educational videos you make 🙌🏽
Glad you like them!
This is so cool♥️ Thanks Gator Chris for taking us along with you‼️
Stay safe Sir
Amazing content, I love it also when you come down to Costa Rica with our crocodiles. Would you do that with salt water crocodiles?
One day i hope i can grow up to be someone like you Chris. Your respect and knowledge in all fields of wildlife is really inspiring to me as a beginner herper.
What a stunning place. Lucky you having these experiences. If I was younger and fitter I would love to do this. As is I’ll just enjoy the pros showing us ❤.
This is hellllaaa sick video! Swimming underwater while it's raining ontop looks epic! It must be dope to see so many different species of animals too, mannatees and alligators and turtles and all those fish. What a life, so dope! And also could you ever talk more about underwater fossile hunting? Sounds like a very dope topic for some reason, haven't heard too much about it either.
Can’t thank you enough for this very interesting content. Amazing production and knowledge.
Much appreciated!
Great video, thank you! (Maybe you could do an event where people could do this - in a cage?)
Wonderful Chris!!!!!!!!!!!
🙌
Great vid. Awesome content. So professional love to see more like this one.
Much appreciated!
So awesome and so well expained
Great footage! Shows how much gators are ambush predators, because they scurried away when you swam right up to their snouts.
Great video I would love to do this.
Some gators seem to have white markings on them, is that just seeing between the scales or some kind of coloration?
amazing vid chris , idk about you but , what if the alligator that went underneath you attacked you will you be safe swimming with the alligators
espicially when i see a elder gator in that river
Wow I can’t believe how many gators you saw!
Awesome video today Chris
Thanks 👍
I can not even watch bro. whaaat :D you must be kidding. what kind of hobby is this lol My anxiety just pumped
Whoa! I don't think I'll try this. I don't have your skills and experience.
You gangsta Chris‼️😬 Great video 🐊🐢
Haha thanks!
Great video chris!
Thanks!
How about bull sharks ? Greetings from the Netherlands 👍
Could you ever take Casper out for a wild swim?
Hey Chris, I took risks swimming Okifinoky river and a rural river during flood waters. It was dumb because of the debrit and incredible current. Possible gators attracted to the hard splashing too.
Question:. Do you ever see American Crocs when you're diving down South?
Yes, I’ve got videos diving with crocs on my other channel Florida’s Wildest
@@GatorChris_ Great! I'm looking forward to watching those and subbing to you there too. Thanks Chris.!
Mammoth tusks???
How often do gators try to ambush you at the surface when you are getting air?
Hey Chris are there crocodiles 🐊 in the everglades too?
First
If you ain’t first you’re last
Do you ever do tours? Like could i do this with you or can u teach me the ways of the gator? Ever since Wade dived in the amazon ive been wanting to join up. Most croc divers say that you are safest on the bottom they see you as a predator like them. Ive also heard its safest when the water temp is below 65 degrees
Alot of divers have told me its similar with sharks as well they see you as a fellow predator when your on the sea bed. But when you swim to the top of the water thats the kill zone and where most attacks are triggered.
I swam with a bull shark in the gulf of mexico back in 2017 it was a thrill ive only experienced a few times before. Ive also been inn a 500 foot whirlpool in a flooded river with copperheads and cotton mouths and huge channel catfish as well and debris and lots of human trash. Its how i test myself in case God decides to flood the earth again i want to be prepared. Ive learned you always let the river guide you. Hey i just noticed you dont have a metal bar alot of the amazon scuba divers use a metal rod that has a sharp tip they mainly use them for holding themselves to the river bed cause they are usually fighting the current. In some cases they have used them to ward off curious crocs who venture to close for comfort.
10:00 Wait does this mean you and Gabby never go diving like this together?
The water visibility is so low!😬
This is actually pretty great visibility for this stuff!
My anxiety whilst watching this 📈
😂
Something I’ve been wondering for awhile is how good gators eye sight is under water. Cuz Paul posts videos of himself swimming right up to gators under water and they don’t even flinch…? Why is that?
Relying on camouflage, don’t move and hope not to be noticed
All crocodilians have very sensitive receptors, they detect many parameters under water.
Can they co exist with other large sea life without attacking… like crocs not attacking hippos
Yes, they can. Although saltwater croсs swimming in the ocean prey on sea animals such as turtles, dolphins, large fish (including sharks and rays), etc. And Nile crocs sometimes hunt hippos.
I think it is the dark water and lack of visibility that freaks me out. You guys can have the diving murky water with the gators. I will take the clearer, salt water and sharks any day. We know that both can kill you so I am not sure why I feel awe and wonder when diving near a shark and terror at the thought of diving with a gator.
But you make it look soooo eeeaaasssyyyyy. ;)
Wow, this is unbelievable! 🥴🫢 I love the thrill!
