Fantastic as always used to go to Santa Barbara island and fish sailing from San Diego on a sailboat fantastic fishing and a cute fish every cast. One sail was is during the fluorescent tide that night fishing was absolutely incredible,a giant Fluorescent eel rose up from the bottom .....crazy, thanks for all your videos they're absolutely mesmerizing you are truly an I C O N ! ! !
I am alway's amassed of what nature creates. I new that there was electric heels but not electric ray's that swim like a shark... So many different animal's must be something creating a new one every year. haha. Cannot wait for your ned adventure. Pierre Art is part of nature.
Hey Jonathan I was in Catalina over the summer for a scout trip and we found a really great site down at Cottonwood Beach,you should check it out if you haven't already.
Ah Casino Point, One of my favorite places to dive at I should know I got my Open Water AND Advanced Open Water there and when my brother and I dive, we often dive there.
Jonathan: I want a shot of you moving. Ray: this good enough, jerk??? Stares down. Camerablokey: I want a better shot. Ray: How's THIS for a shot!!! Invades camera!!! Lol hilarious!!! Yep, beautiful placey...
Hey Jonathan, just want to say that your videos are amazing. The way they are presented and the pace of them really shows that you don't need to sensationalize nature in order to appreciate it's beauty. I hope your show stays successful cuz I love it!
I'm surprised you didn't find any Leopard Sharks during your dive. They're only found along the west coast of NA, and kelp forests are their natural habitats.
I am not sure about the habitat. I do a lot of surf fishing and 95% of leopard sharks I caught were from sandy bottom, where kelp cannot grow. When I fish rocky/kelp-y area, the fish I caught are mostly the fish you can see in this video.
I am mesmerized by the this incredibly amazing film. Very informative! A paradise right next to the hustle and bustle of a huge city. My compliments to you, Jonathan, and to your team for this wonderful job. Thanks a lot for the video.
Very well made! I love how you kept it completely unbiased and talked about what you observed! Awesome! You just earned a sub! (Subscription, not submarine! Or sub sandwich come to think of it!)
jonathan, your photography and clarity of films are better than most other professionals making films for big sponsors. really nice. five stars for you
Hey Jonathan, I love your videos they are so fascinating. Your videos also help me be more aware of the damage caused by humans. I wish we could unite the governments of the world and ask them to stop spending money on weapons and start spending money on saving the planet. It makes me sad that no one seems to care about the ocean.
I've missed Your Videos Uncle Jonathan.. Hope You make More! :-) And when I grow up,, I want to be a Marine Biologist just like you.. Love you and your show! God Bless!
I bet that ray could taze you if it catched ur arm. Its a very interestin creature. Did you escape unharmed and why is that torpedo ray so aggressive towards diver? I mean you touched her booty so she wanted to taze you hahaha but thats not common on sea animals to like really attack. Its fascinating how every single organism has its caracteristicsand a way of behaving. It is inspiring and beutyful. Thanks for bringing the joy and the inspiration we need to keep gooing on following on our dreams... THANX CREW !!!!!
Awesome videos. How do you finance this lifestyle ? Do you have savings or is it with youtube incones ? Do you have another job or are you just moving from dive to dive ? Would be interresting to know to give some ideas :) Thanks man
well the torpedo ray doesn't really hurt when you get shocked by it as I like to go diving and do a little bit of fishing and once caught a torpedo ray and when it shocked me I didnt get hurt, its send small electric volts from it tail but from its body it does hurt a little bit but not a lot ☺️
I really like your videos but touching and interfering with sea life is an absolutely shocking example for divers- you should only observe, you are a visitor in their environment.
+BlueWorldTV Interesting point but touching a tree is harmless and the equivalent underwater is touching coral which divers shouldn't do. additionally this video shows a perfect example of why divers shouldn't touch wildlife underwater (not considering the major factor that it really stresses fish out etc) as the ray attacks divers after provocation- the majority of underwater wildlife injuries are caused by this so in my opinion it is reckless to show this as inexperienced divers may replicate this and get hurt etc. Thanks again :)
That's where I got certified, ah the memories. For a few years I never saw the entire island, all I knew was casino point how can you go to Catalina Island and not dive? Finally saw the entire island on a golf cart, great views up high
I love this episode and Catalina has made my dive bucket list. I just wish you hadnt disturbed the ray though - if you only wanted to see her swim, you should've waited rather than cause her to go on the defensive. Ruined it a little for me, but you got your footage. The kelp and garibaldis looked beautiful, great shots.
Laura Beacham I would like to point out that at least we honestly represented the encounter. Other TV programs would leave out the part about tickling the tail and then try to make it look like the animal was aggressively attacking without provocation.
BlueWorldTV That's absolutely true, and I respect that. It's just a shame that filming puts so much time restraints on things, and even more so when you're diving, so you couldn't watch her go on her own. I feel guilty even accidentally disturbing things when I dive. You're right though, at least it was an honest representation of the animal, rather than editing it out after! Still a great video, and appreciate the reply!
BlueWorldTV I do respect your view of aquatic life, as well as your videos. But I also agree with hvf26, in a way that you should make mire videos, but please go at your own pace with your budget.
I go free diving and snorkling off the coast of North Wales and I'd love to do what you do you should try North Wales in Britain it's cold but in summer plenty of things to see like compass jellies!
I'm disappointed that the *torpedo* ray did not launch an actual torpedo... :l
So lame!! ;-)
Gets attacked by and electric ray, instantly follows it for that shot!😂
What can I say, I'm a cameraman, that's what we do! :-)
@@BlueWorldTV lol 😂

Amazing, thanks again for sharing this with all of us!
Hey Jonathan Bird I love your channel I always wanted to go scuba diving but I'm not old enough to go scuba diving with you I'm only eight
awesome!! I loved it! I wish I could go to a place like this someday!
Never stop what u are doing it is GREAT l love your videos 😁😁😁😁😁👍👍
I'm heading to dive the Kelp forest this summer so excited
i hate the kelp forest (spongebob refrence)
Why do you hate the ocean
I should your channel to my mom and dad they liked it they showed them all the sharks videos They loved it
Thanks for explaining!
I have dove off Catalina and saw pretty much everything you did
Hey Jonathan I was in Catalina over the summer for a scout trip and we found a really great site down at Cottonwood Beach,you should check it out if you haven't already.
Another great vid Jonathan :)
Awesome video!😃I loved it!
Ah Casino Point, One of my favorite places to dive at I should know I got my Open Water AND Advanced Open Water there and when my brother and I dive, we often dive there.
Thanks for uploaded. I enjoyed your video :)
Don't mess with the homie Ray!
Eleven Torpedo Rays watched the video.
Wow every single one of these videos are fascinating I love the content I see here and that's why I'm subscribed keep it up!!
Hey Jonathan, always looking forward to your videos!
I have a question, does sharks have play time like dolphins do?
tovenissen Good question....I don't think so.
I have been there
can you go to Laguna Beach/Orange County
what do you like exploring more Coral reefs or Kelp Forests and what do you think is cooler to go diving in
I like them both. I can't really pick a favorite!
excellent program, a question?, what camera has the underwater housing Ikelite?
This episode, my camera was a Sony VX-7.
I got tense when the torpedo rey tried to attack the camera, I was afraid it would zap it and the person holding it.. Thank God it didn't. tsk
You think you were tense. It scared the heck out of me!
Jonathan: I want a shot of you moving. Ray: this good enough, jerk??? Stares down. Camerablokey: I want a better shot. Ray: How's THIS for a shot!!! Invades camera!!! Lol hilarious!!! Yep, beautiful placey...
Jonathan, do you eat fish?
Nope. Professional courtesy. They don't eat me and I don't eat them.
thanks for the answer lol
Lol I was curious too😅😅😅
They say purple sea urchins are destroying the kelp forests.
I have watch in many documentaries, isn't this supposed to be where great white shark lives?
Mantine used Jolt but it wasn’t very effective. Mantine ran away
interesting
Bull sharks tiger shark next great White shark
You know we have two Great White shark adventures right?
You should do a bioluminescense video
Jack White It's really hard to film because it's so dim.
how long dose it take for an air tank to run out of air?
+Noah Mathwig normally an hour
+Noah Mathwig normally one hour depends on your lung capacity
I've just become a qualified diver and I'm only 13
Congratulations!
when I dive on the ocean I . dont like celps and seaweeds on my way and areea because what if a shark will ambush yo in a kelp or seaweeds
Unlikely!!
What was your favorite fish on this dive
Torpedo ray!
Is there european eel in america?
We have American eels!
Can american eel survive long without water?
Is american eel legal to fish?
Can american eel live in freshwater, brackish water and saltwater?
Hey Jonathan, just want to say that your videos are amazing. The way they are presented and the pace of them really shows that you don't need to sensationalize nature in order to appreciate it's beauty. I hope your show stays successful cuz I love it!
Revanchist8525 Thanks!! Working on more...

I swear he is like a subnautica player just roaming around the nearby kelp forest...
You just got attacked by an angry Frisbee
I want to go diving o_o
Lol 😂
rays are not frisbees. Your brain is. lol
Said Abimelec his brain is not, your reply is
Rays are not Frisbees you are acting weird
@@saidabimelec8506 r/woooosh
Saw the ray and said hope this guy don't end up like that crazy Australian guy 😅
I am mesmerized by the this incredibly amazing film. Very informative! A paradise right next to the hustle and bustle of a huge city.
My compliments to you, Jonathan, and to your team for this wonderful job.
Thanks a lot for the video.
Mark Said Thanks!
I discovered your channel and cannot stop watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Very well made! I love how you kept it completely unbiased and talked about what you observed! Awesome! You just earned a sub! (Subscription, not submarine! Or sub sandwich come to think of it!)
This Knowledge about Kelp Forests helped me with my Homework.. Thanks Uncle Jonathan!!
That torpedo ray was having a bad day ;P
Guess that ray wanted some personal space
I love how he makes marine biology sound so awesome I mean I love it I am going to become a marine biologist when I grow up
jonathan, your photography and clarity of films are better than most other professionals making films for big sponsors. really nice. five stars for you
WOW!
Those kelp forests have so many different kinds of fish in them!
That torpedo ray was gangster!
I miss you man ! please upload a lot of videos !! I LOVE YOUR STYLE OF VIDEOS AND I GAINED LOTS OF INFORMATION FROM THE !!!
isaa2u Working on it!!!
You should do an episode on Sea Horses!!!
6:06 lol ur making me hungry, i'm literally gonna go eat.
Do a segment on a freshwater place, Maybe the Amazon River or Lake Malawi?
Bob The Walrus How about the St. Lawrence River? Jonathan Bird's Blue World: Saving the Sturgeon
Yay! A new video! I love th ocean, so these are awesome. Also these videos seem to calm me.
Hey Jonathan, I love your videos they are so fascinating. Your videos also help me be more aware of the damage caused by humans. I wish we could unite the governments of the world and ask them to stop spending money on weapons and start spending money on saving the planet. It makes me sad that no one seems to care about the ocean.
I meant I always wanted to go scuba diving when I was six
I've missed Your Videos Uncle Jonathan..
Hope You make More! :-)
And when I grow up,, I want to be a Marine Biologist just like you..
Love you and your show!
God Bless!
You should have dived at night Catalina has bioluminescence Which is the coolest thing i have ever swam in.
+TheBalloga It's amazing! But really hard to film.
+BlueWorldTV that makes sense glad to get a reply
Joni Mitchell's song ,kelp me,I think I'm falling in love with you. Lol.💏
The ray is like "bring it man... I'll cash that check for you"
I applaud you. I could never get that close to seaweed 😂 I’m terrrified if it
Thank you Jonathan! That was a fantastic video, the curiosity of those fish is hilarious haha! Cheers mate!
I wish we could see you Jonathan Bird, going scuba diving with any biologist or anyone else who've seen going scuba diving on a show on PBS kids.
I've been waiting soooo long for another one of your videos!
Try to get these amazing things on National Geographic it looks amazing.

Awesome videos.
How do you finance this lifestyle ? Do you have savings or is it with youtube incones ?
Do you have another job or are you just moving from dive to dive ?
Would be interresting to know to give some ideas :)
Thanks man
vincentfigueroa19 Television budget.
ok ! thank you.
Good luck from Chile :)
Oh man how i love those kelp forests. Stunning.
Oh God I wish I was him,,🙃🙃🙃
well the torpedo ray doesn't really hurt when you get shocked by it as I like to go diving and do a little bit of fishing and once caught a torpedo ray and when it shocked me I didnt get hurt, its send small electric volts from it tail but from its body it does hurt a little bit but not a lot
☺️
More videos! I'm almost been through them all, great work and much respect
What time of day was creating that amazing lighting in the first dive around 2-4minute mark?
mid-morning
It's true that there and. so scare of these things. It was becoming like a phobia from me very young age.
Thank you for making videos. This was again amazing!
I really like your videos but touching and interfering with sea life is an absolutely shocking example for divers- you should only observe, you are a visitor in their environment.
+Chris Holt I disagree. Many things in the ocean can be touched. That's like saying you shouldn't touch a tree. Why not?
+BlueWorldTV Interesting point but touching a tree is harmless and the equivalent underwater is touching coral which divers shouldn't do. additionally this video shows a perfect example of why divers shouldn't touch wildlife underwater (not considering the major factor that it really stresses fish out etc) as the ray attacks divers after provocation- the majority of underwater wildlife injuries are caused by this so in my opinion it is reckless to show this as inexperienced divers may replicate this and get hurt etc. Thanks again :)
Wow i have never heard or seen of a ray like that, and it is beautiful!
Torpedo ray: GET THE HECK OUTTA MY ROOM I M PLAYING MINECRAFT
Do you think that Torpedo Ray still alive now ? I think it still alive because torpedo ray has no enemies and can live over 24 years !
That's where I got certified, ah the memories. For a few years I never saw the entire island, all I knew was casino point how can you go to Catalina Island and not dive? Finally saw the entire island on a golf cart, great views up high
if i get to become a marine biologist soon im planning on studying coral and kelp
I love this episode and Catalina has made my dive bucket list. I just wish you hadnt disturbed the ray though - if you only wanted to see her swim, you should've waited rather than cause her to go on the defensive. Ruined it a little for me, but you got your footage. The kelp and garibaldis looked beautiful, great shots.
My bad. :-)

BlueWorldTV It really bothers me. Im not gonna say names but its something related to sharks and is posted on a week hehe...
Still youll probably think twice beore bothering a ray again wont you?
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Can't I get a job like this?
That ray was really not happy you woke it up from it's nap. Must've been having the dream of it's life.
amazing bro!!
If Joni Mitchell was down there,she would somg,""kelp"me I think I'm falling in love with you.lol
You should dive and make a video with an orca or killer whale.
I don’t like seaweed, but this video was great
you gotta be kidding me
Thanks for still doing these videos! They still enjoy me very much! And a lot of people btw :)
great video as always! the only problem is we need more of them! haha
hvf26 Our production schedule is limited by our budget and my available time. It takes a couple weeks to make each segment.
BlueWorldTV I do respect your view of aquatic life, as well as your videos. But I also agree with hvf26, in a way that you should make mire videos, but please go at your own pace with your budget.
very quiet down there... even if the predators are everywhere.
I really enjoy your beautiful videos, if you gonna do a video about the galapagos i will have a sweet dreams (:
Dr. Evil Our Hammerhead episode was partially filmed in the Galapagos. Jonathan Bird's Blue World: Hammerhead Sharks
BlueWorldTV Thanks! (:
So when can we mount actual torpedos on torpedo rays
awesome stuff Jonathan! keep up the good work bro. enjoy your channel
I go free diving and snorkling off the coast of North Wales and I'd love to do what you do you should try North Wales in Britain it's cold but in summer plenty of things to see like compass jellies!
TheTechnoElectro96 And Basking Sharks!!!!!!
BlueWorldTV I'd love to see one of those again ive only ever seen the tail of one 2 yrs ago when i was 11!
