    Thank you for capturing such awesome memories of family and diving on Lopez. Zyah blowing bubbles was ridiculously cute. Meeting Blake and diving with you guys was a blast. Looking forward to more adventures this December!

      No problem at all! Lopez would not have been on our radar had it not been for your original invitation. Such a great place to spend time with family/friends. Looking forward to the next one! Y

    What a great video! Will make mine look like TRASH! 🗑️ Looking forward to next time. I still can't believe I accidentally went home!

      Awe man don't say that! I'm sure you captured lots of moments I wasn't able to and vice versa. I'm excited to see your perspective and the bass fishing! Thanks again for the invite, looking forward to our next adventure. Maybe in the great white North! (Canada)

    Love your videos. They've motivated to get into the sport. Keep up the great work.
    My son (9) loves watching them with me and looks forward to when he can join me in the water.
    Plus I took your advice and shopped at the diving sports in Vancouver. They hooked me up nicely with everything I needed.

      Thanks! Happy to help. TH-cam inspired me to get into diving so it's nice that I can pay that forward. I'm with you, super excited for when they can join. It will be a game changer for sure! My wife had just gotten a suit before finding out she was expecting so who knows, maybe she'll jump in as well when the time is right. One can only hope! And happy everything worked out for you at the shop. They've treated me great. I appreciate the comment!

    Thank you for showing us Lopez Island! It sucks to pack up and go to work. Everytime. Cant get enough of the Pacific NorthWest! Hope to learn and dive with you some time!

    • @PNWSamson

      For sure! Always bittersweet. At least I have the trip documented so I can relive it from time to time haha. Reach out once you learn!

    Just finished our wave 1 freediving course with Luca and many of your videos contributed to me and my fiance getting into freediving. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work

    • @PNWSamson

      That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. Hope the course went well, Lucas is great.

    I always love your videos I'm an avid fisherman and lover of the ocean and coincidentally I always watch Washington fish quest have for a few years I didn't know you guys knew each other haha. I'm a bc boy but I watch Blake cause his videos show a lot of the fish I can go for. Great to see you guys doing a collaboration

    • @PNWSamson
      @PNWSamson  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's awesome! Blake's the man. We need to collaborate again though, that was a few years back. Such a genuine dude. I have another video with him from Neah Bay. I'll have to watch that one again, I don't think I've watched it since I posted it haha.

    Great video and music. Such diversity and those herring were cool to look at. Too bad about the GoPro. Save travels.

    • @PNWSamson

      Thanks man! It's a great spot. Sucks about the GoPro but at least it was my old one!

    Wow beautiful! Love the San Juan’s, been going for 50 years. Happy to see healthy star fish as the purple ones I seen are in decline. Thanks again for beautiful film. I know have a image of what’s below me when I’m looking down at the kelp bed

    • @PNWSamson
      @PNWSamson  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No worries, cheers! Starfish are fortunately recovering but the sunstar are still a rare sight. Unfortunately that waste syndrome really hurt their populations to the point they are listed as critically endangered. Hopefully that changes for the good! Happy the video helped you see what's down below. Thanks for the comment!

      So true, he's such a little jokester!

    Oh man, I've been refreshing your channel repeatedly waiting for this video - I'm the one who said hi at the farmers' market. I didn't know you were camping at spencer spit! We were staying at one of the campsites down on the water (you're right, our friends book them months and months in advance right when they become available). We did a little snorkeling and shallow diving around the spencer spit area, mostly sandy bottom ... crabs and flounder, but super super fun. I will absolutely have to check out Iceberg next time I'm there for the kelp! Love your videos and approach!
    Idea for a video when maybe you're between trips or the weather / conditions are bad - an overview of your gear... I've been wondering about your flashlight for awhile, so I was pleased you mentioned it in this video -- I would love a rundown of your whole preferred set up for PNW diving and spearfishing. Thanks again!

    • @PNWSamson
      @PNWSamson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh to bad, you totally could have joined us at iceberg point! The conditions were perfect. Visibility could have been better but no swell or current so that was nice. Nice to meet you at the market! Thanks for saying hi. Blake dove Spencer spit and said he saw some beastly crab! That little island across from the spit looked neat too.
      Great idea! I'll have to add that to the list. When I get some free time I'm going to make a cold water tips video as well. Equipment I'd recommend for winter diving and other various things to stay warm. I wish I had more time, I'd be pumping out a lot more content if I did!

    Beautiful episode, great camera work and great dives. That family of yours is pretty amazing too. Keep up the good work and yes, life and work balance is pretty important so enjoy snuggling those kids. Peace out! 👍✌

    • @PNWSamson
      @PNWSamson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Gerry! We love Lopez, it's one of our favorite islands. If you haven't been I'd highly suggest visiting. I see a boat in your display picture so definitely worth the cruise down! I commute back and forth from Vancouver to Nanaimo so I'm only home 3 days a week. I definitely try and get the most out of the time I have with the kiddos each week. Quality over quantity!

      Haha awesome! I think the algorithm pumped out my last two videos for some reason. Nice to see some of the work paying off. Thanks for the comment and stoked you're enjoying the videos so far!

    Great episode! Love your channel. I’m new to free diving and spearfishing and have super inspired by it. Im a little farther south In Oregon. We where debating coming up to the Dan Juans last week for a few days. I like to think we would have run into you!

    • @PNWSamson
      @PNWSamson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You never know! I met someone there who watches my channel. Super nice guy, I'm happy he came up and said hi. I'd love to dive Oregon, I'll make it up that way eventually. The San Juan islands are amazing, definitely go visit when you get the chance. It's been years since I've been to the others but I have nothing but good things to say about Lopez. Happy you like the channel, cheers!
