Diving 111 Year Old SHIPWRECK!

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

Ha! Ha! @6:50 Billy , "all right... We'll pick you up tomorrow..." Jetty, "here I come!" That light house and area are cool. Thanks for showing that.

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

@4:31 someone is happy to see you!!! Jetty did a good job watching the dinghy. That was cool to see those fish and the wrecked iron ship. Thanks for showing us those.

[@mattf49006]

its lightly snowing ..laid down in bed at 11pm..and checked you tube on my phone...awesome way to drift off thinking of snorkeling in the dry tortugas ...thanks folks

[@dusty265]

Your channel is hands down the best sailing adventure channel out here!

[@onthebeaches]

Love how Jetty gives you the look after you tell her she's NOT Going! PEACE OUT!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

onthebeaches1 → I noticed that too!

[@MannyCAM]

What a beautiful lil family. The way it was meant to be. Loved your presentation guys. MUCH fun indeed. Thx for continuing to share your lives with youtube.

[@22buddyboy22]

You guys should get a booth at a boat show. Set up a laptop with your KZbin channel playing, some merchandise. Just generally a meet and greet and talk to new boaters about boating life. Most importantly get subscribers. Maybe set up a Facebook live feed and potential new subscribers could see live feedback from those of us already follow you. You could get them to subscribe on the spot on their phones. (Food for thought)

[@ralphholiman7401]

Your videos just get better and better! We've never stopped at the Dry Tortugas before. But, you've made us decide to hit them for sure next time! Thanks for the work and for sharing!

[@jpford1977]

Haha! You could be gone for 5 minutes and Jetty would great you like you've been gone forever! Love the narration underwater. How long can you hold your breath? Love the production again! The music choices, the transitions....keeps me transfixed! Jetty doesn't know how good she has it! Far from the life of the typical couch potato American dog! "What?" She says.... "what do you mean I have to stay!" Those eyes! Thanks again for sharing. 59 days until our marina opens for the season!

[@22buddyboy22]

Oooh!!! Also this recent increase in upload frequency is appreciated and all the hard work has not gone unnoticed. I imagine goes something line this, get footage, edit, voice over, yadda yadda yadda, find internet connection, upload, get sleep, get footage.......etc. Thanks😊 for the effort

[@scottpetrone6284]

A picturesque 11 minute vacation away from the grey, cold reality of a Northeast winter day. The mutton snapper is my favorite flats, patch reef snapper to fish for and eat but they're highly elusive. Bravo Zulu

[@willay747]

GREAT video! Love all the underwater footage as I love to snorkel but don't get the chance often. Also love Jetty's look she gave you when you told her she had to stay on the boat while you went snorkeling ha ha!

[@Graeme408]

Maybe your best video yet. I love the voice-over. Fun shots of you two diving. So glad to see subs increasing. You two are a delightful team to watch.

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+John Lowe, Photographist our #1 fan! Thanks so much John!

[@samm0110]

Yep~

[@Last-Varangian]

Thanks for bringing the shirts back full time, ours arrived in the mail today! Will send a pic soon! Thanks for all the awesome videos too! Especially like the voice over you do in this one, very helpful to understand what we are looking at.

[@regressmenot]

You two are doing a great job pumping these videos out lately. The footage from the Dry Tortugas is so cool, I'm glad you decided to check it out. Looking forward to seeing all the places you decide to explore in the Bahamas. Checking out the store, will buy something for sure.

[@johnnyg3681]

4:31...SO NEAT TO SEE HOW GLAD JETTY IS TO SEE YOUS WHEN YOU GOT BACK...GREAT DOGGIE...!!!

[@tlowe2502]

Thanks guys, Good girl Jetty 🐾

[@tonypage811]

Excellent one guys. Great to see the quiet places so close to the US

[@chrisphinney6430]

the coral and fish life there is so beautiful thanks for sharing with me

[@ivanbuldo7158]

You kids have the best life! Great to hear you mention Steve Urwin, legend! RIP stay safe 🤙🏻👌

[@dly53]

I love diving on the Avanti. The last time I was there a 6+ foot Goliath Grouper was living under the front of the wreck. That grouper was huge. I think the Dry Tortugas is some of the best diving in the United States.

[@thomasbee5218]

editing - commenting - content - video`s getting better and better - like being there !!

[@pauleohl]

+Billy You may be able to get more keepers, or at least less shorts, if you use bigger baits That is the technique we would use when fishing for porgies and black sea bass, using skimmer clams for bait, around Montauk.

[@hondaforever444]

These consistent uploads have been amazing! If anything, that will grow your channel.

[@captainalex8923]

Love the voice over Bill. Very cool info too. I had never heard of a wind Jammer.

[@mattcotton8167]

Hey that was me in the grey truck the other day beeping and hooting at you guys on Palmetto! I wanted to stop and chat but my buddie was in a rush. After I dropped him off I went back to the boat ramp to try to find you and the ranger said you just left. Its all good I'm sure are paths will cross another day. Thank you for all the great videos.... Aloha!

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+Matt Cotton ah man that was hilarious haha it was great to meet ya! Wish we coulda hung out a bit. Next time!

[@gilby1795]

another very informational video, thanks and keep them coming. watching your videos make me wish i would of been more adventurous as a younger person.

[@neptunesfancy]

Well done! Always a pleasure to see your adventures...great planning and narration...

[@robertottwell605]

jetty was so happy when you came up from your dive. awesome video!

[@Sun-Soul]

You guys are SO awesome! These videos just get better and better!❤️

[@stapletonfamily4571]

Awesome video! Come up to New Bern, NC sometime and my wife and myself will buy you dinner in downtown new bern and show you our liveaboard boat! Be safe guys!

[@novavega3695]

So fun to watch you two, your footage of the sun set was great! 😁

[@kleobluewater]

Great job, I too like the voice over description. Well done as always. Safe travels.

[@janicealster7951]

Great video. The water is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@allensn89]

I live about 15 minutes from Pensacola. It was cool hearing you mention it in the video :)

[@cup_and_cone]

The bricks for Fort Jefferson (and Key West's Fort Zachary) came from Pensacola. THE BRICKS OF FORT JEFFERSON In 1850, Lieutenant Wright was sent to Pensacola and Mobile to visit local brickyards and to determine which ones were capable of supporting the Fort Jefferson project. Wright wanted to make sure the bricks would be durable in the marine environment, so he visited Fort Morgan, near Mobile, and Fort Pickens, near Pensacola, to inspect how those brick forts were holding up. He found that Fort Morgan's bricks, produced around Mobile, were deteriorating. However, Fort Pickens, made from bricks fired around Pensacola, was in excellent shape. The clay for Fort Jefferson's "Pensacola bricks" came primarily from Escambia County, Florida. Pensacola brickmaker J.W. McCrary, Sr., scouted the area until he found his preferred "fire clay." This "homogenous primitive clay," as he described it, was located in an area around the Perdido River, in beds from six to forty feet thick. Government contracts were drawn for an initial order of 3 million bricks for Fort Jefferson and specified that Escambia clay be used. When clay bed owners along Florida's Blackwater River heard this, they protested, so the contract was modified to allow Escambia clay or clay of equal quality. Subsequent testing, however, revealed that the Escambia clay outperformed the Blackwater clay. So, construction began using sandy colored Escambia clay bricks. Construction on Fort Jefferson continued at a relatively constant pace through the 1850s, with pauses here and there caused by the odd hurricane or by Congress's occasional failure to allocate yearly funds. But when Southern states began to secede after Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, Fort Jefferson's brick supply suffered. As early as January 5, 1861, Pensacola brickyards hinted that they would not supply bricks for "Yankee forts" if Florida seceded from the Union. Florida did secede five days later, and the brickyards abrogated their contracts on February 28, 1861.

[@patslovokia3834]

I truly enjoy your channel, and watch every video. You're living a lifestyle that sooooo many of us would love to live. Now, I have someone trying to give me a 33 foot cruiser. It may take some $$ to get it in shape, but it floats!!! Maybe 38 years of killing myself really will pay off. Please be safe, and continue to allow the rest of us to live vicariously through you. Peace.....

[@frankmnowickl9010]

You guys are in Paradise alittle jealous keep enjoying life love you two ☮️

[@captraykelly]

Another excellent video. Billy, your voiceover was great. Love the underwater shots. That is definitely a cool place to snorkel. Your new pets (Goliath Groupers) are amazing. Happy Days!

[@cup_and_cone]

Temperature down into 30's here tonight on Florida's Emerald Coast... Send warm weather!

[@stephenelliott9937]

U guys do an awesome job...thanks for taking us along

[@allen5370]

[@tunafins13]

You two are the best.

[@jefftomlinson7027]

glad to hear theres hoodies coming!!!! im totally down for one

[@patrickroward7816]

That was awesome. Probably your best video so far! I have been to KW 12 times but I never made to the Dry Tortugas. BTW, my son loved it also.

[@gogs1468]

Brill video, loved the underwater shots. Interesting island with the lighthouse.

[@garyfreeman8523]

Amazing simply amazing.

[@deborahmerriman2314]

that was beautiful thank you for sharing !

[@VicsYard]

Sweetttttttt. I know a little about brick work and that wall right in the sea water is crazy. You can see bricks in the sand as you guys swim by it. Not normal but probably all they had. Just pointing that out. Cool stuff. Vic

[@davidbyrd5065]

Great video. Loved diveing , and the voice over.

[@carleenh4946]

Jetty is so great. I really appreciate the bits of knowledge interspersed with humour, great scenery and of course, Sailing! Like the sunscreen bubble promo. Well done. Quick question on the grouper under the boat, do they go for toes? 😜

[@roberts3942]

Thanks for showing us the nearby lighthouse of the area. Can't believe I asked for that in your last video comments and you delivered in the very next video. I really liked your underwater shots too in this video. Your videos help me forget there is six inches of snow on the ground here in MI.

[@itsMalu]

i love sting razs. such beautiful creatures

[@george195lol]

Hey guys, Hope you are well. How do you find the Tender compared to the Boston? Cheers

[@chee60]

Super cool video! Those Grouper are like dogs..Lol.

[@gilahodge246]

Beautiful beach!! Were there any shells?

[@jokerzwild106]

Can you swim with the groupers? Will they bite your toes hanging in the water? They look huge. Great video btw. Such beautiful scenery.

[@shawntaylor8780]

Thank you guys again for another great video!!

[@johnwassenaar8460]

“My Australian friend Steve” haha love it. I feel the same.

[@bobn1378]

That was a really good video. Totally enjoyable as usual!

[@stanpatterson5033]

So how is that Suzuki outboard, as compared to others you've had?

[@garyezard7512]

Nice video guys great underwater shots best one for a while 👍

[@dejanira2]

Very enjoyable, beautiful scenery! 🙂🙂🙂

[@grandpajim329]

Very Nice, easy watching when -10 outside here in SUPERBOWL land, Minnesota....

[@rickseifert9040]

Awesome dive footage

[@miamiscubamom7107]

Great videos of the reef but the real star is Jetty.😁

[@stevecrombie5357]

A hardy thanks for the videos guys. Thanks.

[@zzzxxzzz4797]

Thanks for sharing 😎

[@supplylady2874]

Great video as usual. I'm sort of surprised you didn't see any reef sharks while snorkeling around the wreck. Oh well...another time perhaps :-)

[@sven66on]

I like this video ! I'm travelling to fort Myers on Tuesday from Sweden and i wondering about were to go for god snorkling in southern parts of Florida. ... maybe Kea Largo ? My best regards / Anders

[@PeteOLindstrom]

I really appreciate your answer ! It’s funny, that’s the exact same cover I purchased on Amazon. I think I paid $19.00 for it.

[@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN]

Great video. How long can u stay underwater ? Are you ever worried about shallow water blackout? Jetty looked bummed when he was left behind. He sensed it.😩 What would happen if by God’s miracle a Grouper floated up next to your boat dead? Then is it good eating?

[@davidglasgow5322]

do you have plans to get scuba gear at some point?

[@rachelferguson5283]

Love watching your adventures

[@kevina8172]

luck to bring Jetty to these spots! Here at the Mouth of Tampa bay are two Forts both state parks and very Dog unfriendly

[@colliesworld6380]

Are u guys not worried about leaving jetty in the dingy while you dive you guys can hold your breath forever. It's always so good to see you guys wearing sunscreen. There r so many channels that don't do it and it freaks me out for melanoma,what a gorgeous beach and water colour that was. Jetty was having a ball. Lobster had oxidized. Those groupers are hilarious and look grumpywhen u said jetty has to stay it was like she was crying😒

[@nathanland724]

Beautiful!

[@christijohnson2320]

Great video. Enjoyed it!

[@ferreveryday5899]

Another video that's left me green with envy lol , your webpage is coming along nice to, lots a fantastic information. just a question on the shirts, i cant find the size guide, when you were selling though Bonfire there was a guide so i knew what would fit me. I'm 6' 215lb with a short torso so sometimes the XL is to big. a size guide would help me out big time. thanks again and keep making these great videos. cheers

[@JettytheGypsy]

josh grosz they are the exact same shirt as before :) so you would be the same size . Will work on getting a size guide on the website :)

[@jeffoldknow]

Don't move.... Stay there.... We are in Panama City Florida and are on the way. Also the tula shirts should be arriving this week.

[@harrywilson1139]

Were did the big powered boat go. Haven’t watched in a bit

[@katherinesage]

Do you guys have a plan to ward off a tiger shark since they can show up suddenly, especially while spear fishing (see the KZbin vid) -

[@JettytheGypsy]

Katherine Sage sharks are our friends :) we would love that!

[@danasims2446]

Awesome Video!! Stay Safe❤️❤️❤️

[@laguilar3502]

what kind of snorkel equipment do u guys use?

[@Chris-pm1kb]

You should get a red filter for the GoPro when shooting underwater, makes a huge difference. The reef and fish will be much more vibrant/true to color, you are probably aware of that already. Just a suggestion! Either way, great footage and video as usual. Makes me miss living in the keys, you guys are hitting all my old spots!! I actually live just north of you guys in Jup now! Weird to watch a channel I enjoy with all places I know including the Bahamian out islands. Keep it up guys and give Jetty a pat on the head for me.

[@MsRandiCook]

Another awesome video! You guys rock! 👍🏻

[@katherinesage]

Ive never understood something.... how does the snorkel work under the water? I always thought that it only works if you float above the water.... can you help me understand?

[@randyllarson]

Great video!!!

[@clairepapadatos1116]

We are, unfortunately, only your 'sofa crew ' ( 2 Goldies, and 3 cats, and me!, but enjoy every minute 😀😊☺ If I was 15 years younger, I am afraid that I would be be over to join you, like a shot😀😊☺ Instead of that, we, the 'sofa crew' and I, watch, enjoy, and I secret wish that I could be with you😊😀 All love, and best wishes, Claire, and the ' sofa crew ', Berlin 😘 ✌

[@MethosFilms]

Claire Papadatos thats the best crew. When im at a marina im a sofa crew too 😎

[@stanthecomputerman]

Very cool video. Fun to watch.

[@BruceInFlorida]

Kinda like the voice-overs during the underwater scenes. Does it appear that the Park Service have any Rangers living out on Fort Jefferson ?

[@Tulasendlesssummer]

+Bruce Malo yes def at Fort Jefferson but didn’t see them much anywhere outside the fort

[@BruceInFlorida]

thats gotta be a good gig !!

[@linetrash4298]

Their used to be a coast guard station at the light house as well, but I think the park service maintains that as well now

[@allenwilson9656]

At 1:20 did Billy hit a dolphin 🐬?

[@yaderojas9502]

WoW you guys make me whant to go spearfishing. Thanks a mill.

[@George39280]

I am just curious why you never went to Dry Tortuga with Neverland. I assume that it would carry enough fuel for a round trip run there from Key West. Also why didn't ever go down tot he keys with Neverland. People do it all the time with boats that have a smaller fuel tank than Neverland had ( assuming 100 gallon tank ). I have a 50 gallon tank on my boat, and I am planning on doing that trip from NY in the near future ( I carry 4 - 15 gallon fuel drums with me for extended trips and for the generator, to ensure I will have enough fuel to get me where I am going ).

[@JettytheGypsy]

George Brattole we definitely could have but we wanted to explore the Bahamas :)

[@samiamisme]

Is that while ball with the chain there for the purpose of being able to hook your boats to? That's pretty cool. The ship wreck was fascinating. Love the history too. Nice job! You were friends with Steve Irwin? I think the world over took his death hard. Talk about a larger than life personality. His kids are equally amazing, as is Terry. 💕
