This video fully captures the beauty of the perfect Channel Islands kelp dive. Catalina is truly a gem and we are very lucky to have this fantastic locale just 26 miles offshore. When you are there on a boat it seems like another continent (though Avalon is much like any other beachy tourist spot). Great video that will hopefully excite others to start diving.

Amazing video. You captured the beauty of SoCal diving so well. Just came back from diving the Channel Islands. It’s mind blowing. I could just sit there and watch the sun shine through the kelp forest. But highlight of course was seeing a giant sea bass.

I've just sat on the bottom there several times and just chilled doing the same thing.

First 25 seconds in and I subscribed it’s so cool seeing what it’s like underwater and since I live in cold waters I don’t get to experience the colorful and diverse fish like you!! Keep up the good work

I'm curious where you stayed in Catalina to get the most out of snorkeling, hotel or close camping? Trying to figure out a trip and going to go with my kids...going to be fun. Thank you for your lovely video. ❤️🐠🐟👀🌞

I was just there today and got to see a giant sea bass. It was "chewing" on something and shreds of meat and fish bone were coming out of its gills. Then it spit up a fish head the size of a softball!

Nice! Was this an early morning dive? Planning on going in a week or two. Seems like being the first in the water is a good thing.
@spKelpDiver7 жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late reply. Early is good, but in my opinion it's best to get in the water when the sun is out. Light has a huge impact on the visibility and any video you shoot. The black sea bass at Casino Point don't seem to be bothered by the divers, so going out later when the park is busy, shouldn't affect your chances to see one.

Did you use any type of filter on the gopro. Colors look great. I have to use a red filter below 35' to get colors like that.
@spKelpDiver9 жыл бұрын
mcpojack I don't use any filters on the GoPro. This was edited using Cyberlink Power Director 10. I've gotten decent at messing with the white balance/ect to get colors right.

And you can bet some big idiot fisherman probably got the last one. They’re still under threat, and will remain threatened. We must protect these overfished specie. The giant black California grouper can survive.
