Diving with Kingfish in Tumby Bay

The look on his face as that fish swam by is priceless. What an amazing world it is in the ocean.

That blue thing at 2:25! Whoa! What the heck is that. Super in focus too. Again on a GoPro!? You're using some magic on that GoPro haha.

It was very funny. In the unedited video you can hear my laughing. I was surprised he stayed so calm as they were relentless swimming into him. Im not really sure why they liked his hood. The yellow stripe or maybe the little stream of bubbles but they weren't rubbing into me. I've dived with Kingfish a lot and never had them do it before. The wonders of underwater.

Yep filmed on gopro with the macromate. They are a type of tunicate I believe. They are quite common growing on pylons in South Australia.

@@seanpe80 So pretty! So you just switched over to the macromate when you saw it? Nice to have that option for sure. Beautiful world!

@@seanpe80 Those types of mysteries keep me going back. I always wonder if it will get old or I'll get bored. That's not out of the question but I don't see it happening. Cause you can always see more sights, travel to new places and endlessly explore. Loved how they were diving through the regulator hose. Although it had me a bit worried for a moment, wouldn't want them to know that reg out of his mouth! A scuba friend has a funny story of a crab that grabbed his reg hose and pulled it out of his mouth. Not sure if it's true or not but wouldn't be surprised if it were! It really does feel like space exploration (what I imagine that would be like) which is why it's so fascinating.

Wow what a buzz for the young bloke being bombed by the kingies! Great video action and well filmed and edited.

Thanks. I was impressed he kept his cool. They either liked the bubbles or the yellow stripe as they didn't do it to me
