Where are their barbed spines, on their tails?
@godiveph1287 5 күн бұрын
@@391wombat Hi, the barbed stingers are located just behind their pelvic fins (butt area) at the base of their long tail (not at the tip). If you pause the video near the start when the rays are passing from below, you’ll see the stingers. The stingers are venomous and can cause cell damage but not known to be fatal to humans. Eagle rays are actually endangered so we are very lucky to have many sightings of them. The deep remote reef where we do marine conservation work such as removing fishing lines and ghost nets is their home.

When being attacked by triggerfish, (I learned this the hard way), never swim up, swim in a straight line across because their territory goes to their nest up towards the surface so if you are going to go up, swim out of the territory first! Hope this helped!

Only having a 1m long DSMB is next to useless. You want something larger so it can be viewed by your dive boat, and any other boat traffic in the area, especially when there is surface chop.

Why don't you guys carry your own sack and collect them, you guys are wasting time and oxygen swimming back and forth to get to the sack everytime you pick one
@godiveph1287 6 ай бұрын
Hi thank you for comments and suggestions. You’re right that more sacks could speed up the work. However, it’s not that simple underwater when dealing with COTS. Underwater, the currents and surge flaps the sack open and close. Also, we have to be careful not to come in contact with the COTS. They have venomous spines all around their bodies. The spines are brittle and can easily pierce through wetsuit or gloves. These spines are designed to puncture and break and will require surgery to remove while causing swelling, irritation and infection. Imagine trying to open the sack with one hand while pushing in the COTS with the other hand with tongs. The risk of the COTS coming in contact with your hand in this manner is high. So having someone hold the sack open for divers to dump the COTS is a less risky approach.

Suppose it depends where you dive but I wouldn't use less than a 5' SMB and prefer 6' for visibility with various wave/swells and weather conditions
@godiveph1287 6 ай бұрын
Hi, thank you for watching and for your comments. While 5’ or 6’ DSMBs are excellent for surface deployment, they’re not ideal for underwater deployment. Here’s why: larger DSMBs require more gas to inflate properly, which means using your regulator or LPI. This can lead to potential errors, as even the best regulators can free flow when inverted, and there’s a risk of entanglement. I always carry two DSMBs-a 3.3’ and a 5’. The smaller DSMB allows for quick, easy, and precise deployment underwater since it’s done orally. Upon reaching the surface, if the boat is too far or not visible, I then deploy the larger DSMB. When diving in remote open waters, having two DSMBs can make a significant difference.
@mrandmrsstallings4471 6 ай бұрын
@godiveph1287 Sure, a larger smb would have more volume and would require more air, but I'm not sure how it could impact entanglement risk. Like all things, training is crucial, and spool/reel skills are vitally important. In regards to the more air, it really depends on the depth you deploy, as a few exhales at 65' -100' quickly expands by 3-4x. I use my 6' regularly and have never had an issue, but I could see someone having never trained struggling, but I've also seen students struggle with 3' smb, I think the extra visibility that a 6' provides is worth the extra bit of training. I, too, carry 2 SMB's, one for emergencies and another for ascending. I totally agree that inflating both would be way to go. Depending on location and situation I'd probably pop on my Nautilus radio too and if appropriate my Garmin SOS. It's all about the redundancies. I agree a 3' could have it's place like diving Cozumel, but bigger is better for Atlantic and Pacific in my experience. Another thing worth noting is locals with normally mild currents can flip and turn a lazy day into a driftastic thrill ride. Again, why I'd opt for something larger. In any event, thanks for the reply. For reference, I had 3' SMBs 15 or so years ago and had a calm dive turn drift, has to ascend with buddy and no boat in sight. Had 2 SMBs deployed and boat operators didn't see them. Had a bit of luck and ended up getting a ride from a local. Tossed the 3' in bin and ordered Nautilus when I got home, lol.

During a scuba dive exploration of a stunning, deep and remote reef in Bauan Batangas, Philippines, we stumbled upon an unexpected and heart-wrenching sight. As we were ending our dive, at a depth of 100 feet (30 meters), we encountered a baby Whitetip Reef Shark, 2 feet long, entangled in fishing lines. See the diver's computer in the video for depth, time and other dive information. Initially, the shark appeared lifeless. However, as we drew closer, we noticed its gills moving, indicating it was still alive. We were faced with an animal rescue situation. We knew we had to try to free her despite facing significant constraints: our gas supply was running low, and time was running out since we were nearing the end of our dive. We also had a long scooter drive back to shore ahead of us. Our dive “Tool” (visible in the video) proved inadequate for cutting the thick fishing lines, making the rescue process even more challenging. Most of all, we knew that working so close to the shark posed potential risks, as we were unsure of how it would react. Yes, even baby sharks have teeth. Despite these challenges, we were determined to try to help. What happened next was truly remarkable and took us by surprise. Why Take the Risk to Save the Shark? Whitetip Reef Sharks, and sharks in general, play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. They prey on various fish species, including herbivores that feed on corals. This predation helps control these populations and prevents them from overgrazing the coral reefs, which is vital for the health of the ecosystem. A balanced ecosystem relies on the presence of all its components, and Whitetip Reef Sharks are an essential part of that balance. As divers, we are privileged to witness and experience the underwater world firsthand. With that privilege comes a responsibility to help protect our oceans. This rescue was not just about saving a single shark, but about contributing to the broader effort to preserve our marine ecosystems. If you find this video helpful, please share it with others.

Thank you so much for your support! Divers around the world dive to witness the majesty and beauty of the underwater world. However, they also encounter debris like common trash, plastics, discarded fishing lines, and nets. If every diver takes a moment to pick up and remove debris when they see it, they can make a significant positive impact on our oceans. Your encouragement helps keep this important work going!

The story of this video: While scuba diving on a deep, remote reef to film Giant Eagle Rays, we experienced something extraordinary. Four rays approached us, turning and slowly swimming in perfect formation towards a deep ridge. We followed them with our scooters (DPV) and discovered a deadly giant ghost net draped over the corals at 33 meters (110 feet). If we didn't follow the Eagle Rays, we wouldn't have seen the ridge and giant ghost net. Ghost nets pose a severe threat to marine life. These abandoned or lost fishing nets continue to catch and kill sea creatures indiscriminately. They entangle fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine animals, leading to injuries, suffocation, and death. Additionally, they can damage delicate coral reefs, disrupting the ecosystem. Assessing the situation and the risks involved, we realized we had limited time and gas supply. At such depths, removing the net would require a long decompression dive due to the extended time underwater. We quickly planned limits and got to work.
