This Knowledge about Kelp Forests helped me with my Homework.. Thanks Uncle Jonathan!!

[@Thaumazo]

Hey Jonathan, just want to say that your videos are amazing. The way they are presented and the pace of them really shows that you don't need to sensationalize nature in order to appreciate it's beauty. I hope your show stays successful cuz I love it!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Revanchist8525 Thanks!! Working on more...

[@code-dredd]

I'm disappointed that the *torpedo* ray did not launch an actual torpedo... :l

[@BlueWorldTV]

So lame!! ;-)

[@TWOCOWS1]

jonathan, your photography and clarity of films are better than most other professionals making films for big sponsors. really nice. five stars for you

[@peterjohnson8935]

Oh man how i love those kelp forests. Stunning.

[@Herowebcomics]

WOW! Those kelp forests have so many different kinds of fish in them! That torpedo ray was gangster!

[@ohhellnahtv6422]

I love how he makes marine biology sound so awesome I mean I love it I am going to become a marine biologist when I grow up

[@contrastoki]

I discovered your channel and cannot stop watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious!

[@wrongfulhermit]

I swear he is like a subnautica player just roaming around the nearby kelp forest...

[@marksaid6587]

I am mesmerized by the this incredibly amazing film. Very informative! A paradise right next to the hustle and bustle of a huge city. My compliments to you, Jonathan, and to your team for this wonderful job. Thanks a lot for the video.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Mark Said Thanks!

[@jeannolasco2619]

Saw the ray and said hope this guy don't end up like that crazy Australian guy 😅

[@SoldierOfFate]

I'm surprised you didn't find any Leopard Sharks during your dive. They're only found along the west coast of NA, and kelp forests are their natural habitats.

[@BlueWorldTV]

The Ugly Barnacle We looked!!!

[@mickanderson7101]

❤️l. Love.

[@reel_it_in_socal]

I am not sure about the habitat. I do a lot of surf fishing and 95% of leopard sharks I caught were from sandy bottom, where kelp cannot grow. When I fish rocky/kelp-y area, the fish I caught are mostly the fish you can see in this video.

[@ClumsyAssassins]

Guess that ray wanted some personal space

[@Cathee.M.]

That torpedo ray was having a bad day ;P

[@whalegod1056]

Wow i have never heard or seen of a ray like that, and it is beautiful!

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

Fantastic as always used to go to Santa Barbara island and fish sailing from San Diego on a sailboat fantastic fishing and a cute fish every cast. One sail was is during the fluorescent tide that night fishing was absolutely incredible,a giant Fluorescent eel rose up from the bottom .....crazy, thanks for all your videos they're absolutely mesmerizing you are truly an I C O N ! ! !

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks!

[@_skybluerider_6503]

I've missed Your Videos Uncle Jonathan.. Hope You make More! :-) And when I grow up,, I want to be a Marine Biologist just like you.. Love you and your show! God Bless!

[@Yogakayakmayak]

I am alway's amassed of what nature creates. I new that there was electric heels but not electric ray's that swim like a shark... So many different animal's must be something creating a new one every year. haha. Cannot wait for your ned adventure. Pierre Art is part of nature.

Amazing contents. Kids of my house liked it

[@chillstep4life]

Hey Jonathan, I love your videos they are so fascinating. Your videos also help me be more aware of the damage caused by humans. I wish we could unite the governments of the world and ask them to stop spending money on weapons and start spending money on saving the planet. It makes me sad that no one seems to care about the ocean.

[@KillaMikeProductions]

Another awesome episode!

[@joshstirrat9769]

Very well made! I love how you kept it completely unbiased and talked about what you observed! Awesome! You just earned a sub! (Subscription, not submarine! Or sub sandwich come to think of it!)

There were so many kelp That I think I can fit in there.I want to learn more about kelp.

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

Jonathan Bird, you should go on another scuba dive there with your family.

I'm heading to dive the Kelp forest this summer so excited

Why do you hate the ocean

[@JAVTROOPER]

Wow that's scary. The ray confidently stand against anything that he know he will win the fight. What a brave creature

Try to get these amazing things on National Geographic it looks amazing.

[@iamsuperperfect4605]

Don't mess with the homie Ray!

[@jonathansantos6009]

Nuemadisis? I was wondering about that form of air regulation? Wow. Those kelp Forrest are so vital for the environment. Thanks for doing such a video emphasis. Wow why good find! As torpedo ray? Nice music touch to give that encounter moment seem suspenseful. Yes I’m so glad you mentioned how the torpedo ray swam in regards to design. Catalina islands looks fun. I’m glad there no fishing around that area. Giving the fish a better range of feel and famillerization. In the mood for some kelp salad?

[@4thplace706]

Another great vid Jonathan :)

[@kalansmith8552]

I have dove off Catalina and saw pretty much everything you did

[@arayaphornpraphan9678]

Mr. Bird, your videos have inspired me to take a trip out there and see the diving for myself! so excited to be going and Ill be posting the dives on my youtube!

Awesome! Have fun!!

Keep up the good work!

Me too! Thank you so much!

[@darthvenom100]

That's where I got certified, ah the memories. For a few years I never saw the entire island, all I knew was casino point how can you go to Catalina Island and not dive? Finally saw the entire island on a golf cart, great views up high

[@Geo-sesarma]

Do a segment on a freshwater place, Maybe the Amazon River or Lake Malawi?

Thanks for the heart! Just found your channel after my professor linked it to us for a worksheet about kelp forests and your content is so beautiful and fun to watch!

Oh God I wish I was him,,🙃🙃🙃

Eleven Torpedo Rays watched the video.

[@hvf26]

great video as always! the only problem is we need more of them! haha

[@BlueWorldTV]

hvf26 Our production schedule is limited by our budget and my available time. It takes a couple weeks to make each segment.

[@yourguidetofivenightsatfre6529]

BlueWorldTV I do respect your view of aquatic life, as well as your videos. But I also agree with hvf26, in a way that you should make mire videos, but please go at your own pace with your budget.

[@DoseDailyOf]

Great video :)

[@dulalg18]

I watch this episodes each night to fall a sleep.

[@ravenwang6315]

I love the intro

[@Arcticos0]

Hey Jonathan I was in Catalina over the summer for a scout trip and we found a really great site down at Cottonwood Beach,you should check it out if you haven't already.

[@anhangphan4216]

There are kelp exhibits in Monterey, California. You should visit it! It's great! :)

[@blackheartgaming6121]

if i get to become a marine biologist soon im planning on studying coral and kelp

[@TheBalloga]

You should have dived at night Catalina has bioluminescence Which is the coolest thing i have ever swam in.

[@BlueWorldTV]

+TheBalloga It's amazing! But really hard to film.

[@TheBalloga]

+BlueWorldTV that makes sense glad to get a reply

[@davidryanlam3686]

Omg i feel like following you!!!!

[@saidabimelec8506]

I bet that ray could taze you if it catched ur arm. Its a very interestin creature. Did you escape unharmed and why is that torpedo ray so aggressive towards diver? I mean you touched her booty so she wanted to taze you hahaha but thats not common on sea animals to like really attack. Its fascinating how every single organism has its caracteristicsand a way of behaving. It is inspiring and beutyful. Thanks for bringing the joy and the inspiration we need to keep gooing on following on our dreams... THANX CREW !!!!!

[@anthonymontes1500]

Ah Casino Point, One of my favorite places to dive at I should know I got my Open Water AND Advanced Open Water there and when my brother and I dive, we often dive there.

[@thureintun1687]

It's true that there and. so scare of these things. It was becoming like a phobia from me very young age.

[@Alessandro-tq9ed]

well the torpedo ray doesn't really hurt when you get shocked by it as I like to go diving and do a little bit of fishing and once caught a torpedo ray and when it shocked me I didnt get hurt, its send small electric volts from it tail but from its body it does hurt a little bit but not a lot ☺️

[@theinsanebeast5659]

I meant I always wanted to go scuba diving when I was six

[@thetechnoelectro965]

I go free diving and snorkling off the coast of North Wales and I'd love to do what you do you should try North Wales in Britain it's cold but in summer plenty of things to see like compass jellies!
