RIP Alan Devier ; he was my dive guide.
Alan was a wonderful man and he will be missed. I hope that his kind spirit lives on in this video.
Ok how is it at 10:08 -minutes 11:18 hours later ok is not that chapter. 12:21 days I later regret not watching it
It is so nice to be able to watch video with Alan in it. Thanks Bird man
I'm glad we were able to make such a nice video with him so there is a great reminder of him. He was a kind soul.
I love how you teach us and not only dive in your videos, I love learning about marine life
Ocean the Wolf That's what makes it the best.
Ok, so I have an answer, a problem, and a question for you and your videographer buddies. In this video at mile marker 15:00 I see some striation in the light. So here is my answer: this is caused because you are using an LED light and LED tends to strobe on camera when using high fps 60, 120, etc. this particular striation is caused by a phenomenon called “shutter roll” but it usually just shows up as an annoying strobe.
My problem: i like to get high fps (240) under water while doing action shots. However, as you know, the higher the fps the more light you need. My problem comes from the fact that all the underwater lighting I can find is LED and i get this reoccurring problem.
My question: are there any “non LED” underwater lighting options out there and where do I find them? I’ve searched everywhere with no luck. Any guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.
The waymanufacturers allow you to lower the brightness of an LED light is to flash it on and off really fast. It's actually really hard to reduce the brightness of an LED by normal "dimming" (lowering the current to the LED) so they run it at full power but flash it on and off really fast. Your eyes can't see the flashing, but the camera can. To make the light 1/2 brightness, they turn the LED on for a short period of time, then off for an equal amount of time. So on average the LED is illuminated for 1/2 as long, and that looks to our eyes like 1/2 brightness. It's actually full brightness alternating really quickly with zero brightness. If the rate at which the LED blinks is not significantly higher than the frame rate of your video, you can actually see the strobing in the video as striations in the light. Lights made specifically for video use a high frequency so they don't create these striations. In the Megalodon video, the light on my head was Alan's "headlight" for finding teeth--not a dedicated video light--and it was not flashing at a high enough frequency, so you can see the lines. However, it's interesting to note that at full power, most LED lights don't flash...the LEDs just stay on. So you won't get the lines. I didn't run the light at full power in the Meg video because otherwise it wouldn't last the whole day, so we had to just deal with it. Note that our BigBlue video lights DO NOT have this issue, at least at the frame rates we use, up to 60 frames/sec. I have never tried them any higher than that (120 fps, 240 fps) but I will. Run your LEDs at full power and they should not create these patterns.

To much word
@@Kenzalt21 Not enough brain?
Johnathan, you should totally be Aquaman one Halloweeen. You’re the real world Aquaman
My grandfather was a fossil Hunter and when he passed away I got his 8 Megalodon teeth he found.
Billy Causgrove impressive
Can you prove it? By showing us a video.
Im so sorry he passed away
Hey be the next fossil hunter
Billy Causgrove hahaha cool!
watching ur videos after all these years gives me a feeling of nostalgia. i am heartbroken bcz i just found out Alan passed away from the comments :(
thank u for educating all of us jonathan!!
Yes, it was very sad. Alan was a really wonderful, generous person and a great dad. He is sorely missed.
If that megalodon shark is still living today, Oceans will be a big nope
areeb1296 nope
Edit: the orcas would run
areeb1296 Sure............20 of them
See the meg movie and see what well happened if he real
Some megaladons still exist
areeb1296 yes
That is so cool. But that low visibility would freak me out.
It freaked me out too!
BlueWorldTV hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi
Elizabeth Swims I live here on this river you get used to the low visibility someone I know does dives here regularly for his business...the gators and sharks aren’t scary if you don’t mess with them and sharks are rare... the scariest thing that you can encounter is a manatee that you might mistake for a shark
That would also freak me out
It does freak a person out. You always wonder what's going to end up in your face. It's like going to the outhouse in the woods at night when you're camping with visions of Bigfoot dancing in your head.
One of your coolest videos. I remember when you gave away some of the megalodon teeth you found, and I was one of the lucky winners. I still have my tooth on display in my home office!
Really cool episode, very unexpected subject matter. The animation at the beginning was a nice touch. Love the show!
We had fun with the cheesy cartoon!!
J. A. 8ixifjfjdjs
Those teeth would make an amazing museum exhibit.
anyone else feel like a megalodon was gonna come outta no where
I'm glad it didn't!
How will it fit in a small dense river man
BlueWorldTV If you ever do somehow see a megalodon, you HAVE to film it. And not get eaten 😁
No I thought a crocodile was
@@BlueWorldTV Aren't you worried about gators in the river? I do not know if there are any or not. But they seem to be all over the coastal area of the Southern part of North Carolina.
My favourite seacreatures SHARKS,my favourite under water channel is JONATHAN BIRD's BLUE WORLD!!!i am now a fan,i love under water,cool shark tooth mr.bird
Thanks!!!
Wow! 20 million year old tooth, I can’t even wrap my mind around that number. Awesome video!
RAIDERSJUSTWINBAYB 2 millon actually
That guy Allen sounds exactly like Forrest Gump!
Forest Gump sounds like Alan
Leahnardo da Clarki - You’re not the first person to say that! 🙂
Bill Mercer you stole the name Alan from hungry shark evo and i glad you not say allen im ROY ALLEN
lol I was about to comment the same thing
It's a low country accent
My diving instructor was telling us about his Cooper River diving finds!! Said he's found bunches of megalodon teeth and other cool historic artifacts! Definitely on my bucket list to dive in that river!
Long time viewer for many years and can I just say your explanations for your vast marine biology knowledge has always been excellent. Thanks very much for all your hard work from you and your team on the videos, we know how long it takes!
Please pray for Captain Alan’s safe return. He’s missing at sea.... we need positive thoughts 🙏
We are very worried for him and hoping he is found soon.
BlueWorldTV Don’t know if you guys know or not but Alan was found on this past Mother’s Day, he is unfortunately gone.
E J unfortunately so.
who else tensed up when alan set that tooth on the side of the boat?? 15:40
I did!
19:26 tooth-center bottom perfect root rest in half (1.5"?), 19:30 tooth- (slightly to the left of center bottom) perfect tooth (2"?)
I dont know if your going to see this but youre my motivation to become a marine biologist, i love youre videos and your enthusiasm and love for nature.
Hey Jonah, thanks!!!! The most important secret for happiness in life is to do what you love to do....then you never go to "work".
Props to whoever picked out the music for this. That scoring was just the right mix of adventurous and spooky.
It was custom scored by Zimmy our composer. We did an extra on him.
@@BlueWorldTV I'm definitely going to have to look that one up then because I was already thinking prior to this video that the guy in charge of music really knows what he's doing. This particular video just finally pushed me into commenting about how impressed I am by his work.
Best videos ever thank you Johnathon & Blue World!
Wow, this would be my dream trip. I’d go in a heartbeat. There are a few rivers in my home state of Fl. Where you can find them but it can get dangerous because of not only lack of visibility but snakes and worse, alligators.
Gosh, Jonathan, you lived my nightmare diving in such murky water. You are really brave
Whoa! This channel is the best!!!
:-) . Thanks!
Hi blueworld! :D
Very cool!! I’m addicted to diving for shark teeth!
“It’s like pEa sUoP” my next favorite Line XD
Edit: OOF MY BAD
PEA!! As in the vegetable! Not PEE as in urine! LOL
OH OOF MY BAD XD
3:08 Shark tooth diving is like a box of chocolates. "You never know what you're going to find." Haha!
Finally Jonathan a fossil dive I love shark teeth only fossils they can have so many colours
The megalodon shark is my favorite
I took my checkout dive in Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota in 1972. Near zero visibility for my first dive outside of a pool. It sucked, but it gave me a lot of confidence for future clear water dives.
I have dove the Cooper River several times with Allen, he is great!! Great video, well done!
it's almost as if nature makes finding those teeth spooky and challenging on purpose. you have to earn finding those final and legendary megalodon traces. how I envy you.
Thanks a lot for putting these up here!
Amazing video, keep up the good work
Good work Jonathan
Wow that's is Most Awesome ...I Love Meglodon Sharks learning about them.
For science for the topic: Animals, we are learning fish and sharks. My teacher let us see your videos. Since i watched many of ur videos in the past, nostalgia hit me.
Go on a crocodile hunt with coyote peterson
Seriously cool! Also I about died when he put the big meg tooth on the gunnel at the end 😂 of your dive. Glad the inspection was moved after that. Thanks for sharing!
These videos never disappoint. Keep them coming our appetites are insatiable!
Those were some awesome teeth! I love the ocean! You rock Jon!
That looks like such a tense dive!
It's a little freaky until you get used to it.
"Wanna borrow this bag tonight" lmaooooo why is no one talking about this?
"sometimes the blue world isn't very blue at all, but a chocolate milk brown"
Jonathan must have 1m subscribe !!!!!
Yeah!!!! "You're crazy if you don't subscribe!!"
Nice finds and great video! I had the opportunity to dive the Cooper in April. Found dugong ribs, a large whale bone shard, Med sized Meg tooth halves, 3 inch full Meg tooth, a piece of Native American Pottery. and other bits and pieces. Can't wait to go back!
Hey man, I’ve been trying to stop cursing- but this is ducking cool!
i love you Jonathan ❤
I love this video
Woah!So cool!How the river looks like the ocean when they just show it.When you went in it,it looked like your in a orange.At the bottom is a nightmare.
Who else saw the whale dorsal fin at 3:26???? top left corner, there's a fin
that was actually a shark you can tell by the motion
Saw it too
Allan Zhao d
Why would there be a whale in a river:/
Joer menuda suerte la de este tío ehh ese diente si es original de megalodon o cría de megalodon vale una pasta grande!€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€ y más!
Truly an amazing video Jonathan! Keep it up!
PS: can I have one? XD
Y'all should do a segment on the turtle rescue and rehabilitation center at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island 😁 it's pretty fascinating and I'd love to learn more about it
it's so cool like were swiming with you in the murky water
LOVE YOUR VIDS
New bucket list dive!
I love your skobo
One more thing I'd love to try and the latest addition to my bucket list!
I have so much respect for you Johnathan. Your passion about everything you work for and with is incredible. It’s what keeps me interested in your videos and that’s the kind of outlook I like to have on my work. I appreciate you giving us a look into your world and the awesome science behind it
I appreciate that! Thank you!
I like your chanel
That was absolutely amazing, you found teeth of sharks older then the Megalodon. I have subbed to you my friend, I need to know what other advantages you have in mother earth's oceans. THAT WAS SO AWESOME !!!!, I love sharks so much.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome aboard!
I love this Video! Glad everyone was able to see what river diving is like. Thank you so much for that. Fossil babe
It's super fun but a little spooky!!
your video quality is best.
I found 400 million year old fossils. It was so cool
At 15:53 jonathan:huh who’s the man?
Keep it up that thing its amulet .to protect your life .you are super lucky ..bring that always where ever you are .
I liked this video before I even watched it... ^-^
Janice Yu
Me 2
The reason I searched up videos is because I saw your videos on get epic and the swimming at night with sharks is my favorite :) These are great!
Do a video on drift diving plz!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Btw ty because u made me go underwater!
I like your weight pockets!
10:00 i love the adjectives in the dark river saying "chocolate milk"
you should come back to The Bahamas
Nice finding Megalodon teeth Jonathan Bird
I prefer to hear your narration rather than another narrator’s . you talking to the camera makes me understand better .
Sami Jospeh it's Jonathon talking in the voice over too!
Sami Jospeh Jonathan*
this vid is very underrated. i love your narration, and the introduction which was animated. 😊 that was really nice. i'll keep on watching Blue World! I think its my new favorite Channel now. thanks Jonathan! 💕
Thanks!
20 million thats awesome!
The video was a great! and I subscribed!
Damn. Been bingeing your vids for 3 days now. This show has educated me on shark , seals, and now fossils. I'm adding fossil hunting and Guadalupe shark diving on ky bucket list. Thanks Guys!
This show deserves wayy more attention! Sad to see u guys only have 400.000 subs when you deserve like 5 mil at least! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
So cool! and great😀😀😀😀😀😀
You are soooooop brave And adventures i cant believe it ❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
As much as the visibility would be scary (I’d just be replaying the Jaws theme over and over) once I found that first tooth I’d be hooked.
My 4 y/o favorite.
I’ve always wanted to go scuba diving.
BlueWorldTV: It's very murky water...you can hardly see in front of you.
Superman: Heh...murky... *_sips soda_*
When you were in the water it sorta looked like a black and white tv show but on my phone and with color and that was awesome one day I want to find Megaladon shark theeth ☺
Nice Work Jonathan👍👍👏👏
Thanks!!
OMG , The King of shark, lord megladon
Very interesting and awesome video. Those are great souvenirs.
I love sharks so much. There are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute🦈❤️
I have a question, do you guys air episodes on TV?
btw I love your channel, needs moar subs
In the USA: Seasons 1-4 aired on PBS. Seasons 2-4 aired as well on AWE Network. Season 5 is still being negotiated by our distributor. Outside the USA, Blue World is on a bunch of various channels in about 12 countries. Currently we are working on a big TV deal in China and the Far East. But from a production point of view, we now consider ourselves a TH-cam show, and any TV contracts are secondary. Our fans watch TH-cam more than TV.
BlueWorldTV thank you for replying :D
@@BlueWorldTV I watch you guys on littons weekend adventures
RIP to Alan, when he went missing on a dive and was found not alive. It was tragic
😢 Very sad
I wonder what would have happened if u got carries away with the tide. Awesome episode
I have a question Jonathan. How do you go several miles out in the ocean and don't get seasick? I have been a diver for about 3 years now, and I have gotten seasick every time we do an ocean dive that has a boat ride longer than an hour. Now I have heard about tips and tricks to overcoming seasickness such as looking at the horizon, medications (such as bonine or dramamine), and more; but it just doesn't seem to work. My complete question is "do you get seasick often?" "What are some tricks or such that you do to prevent it if so?" Thank you! :)
I used to get terribly seasick!! After a while I guess my body got used to it and I don't anymore. I had good luck with the "patch" (seasick medication administered through a little band-aid looking thing you put on your neck and the medicine is administered through your skin). Also, when you are feeling sick, the very best thing you can do is lie down on your back.
Thank you! Do you know what name brand you used? It would make it easier to find it at the store or online :)
Pamela Manuel trans scop. It’s like 35.00 per patch. Can have some nasty side effects.
Smart man! Force fins are the best fins made.
They certainly are for many kinds of diving!
