One thing I never appreciated before getting into photography is how limited the camera's dynamic range is compared to the human eye. I can't imagine what this looked like in person, as beautiful as it is on camera. It makes you appreciate more seeing something yourself versus watching it on video or a still.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Absolutely true. Nothing is as good as being there.

[@benjamincreem4843]

Couldn't be happier to get this video this weekend :)

[@BlueWorldTV]

Got it early!

[@FintasticFilms]

Beautiful dive! That school of barracuda was INSANE! Definitely one of the coolest wrecks you've dived

[@BlueWorldTV]

It definitely was for me. I'm not a huge wreck diver to be honest. I like a wreck with marine life.

[@EnragedByCorn]

Really cool seeing a ship that was prepped for divers before being scuttled. Its like an underwater playground! What a cool dive 😎

[@BlueWorldTV]

We agree!

[@ohplezz]

You guys always have the best adventures.

[@dreadnoughtus2598]

Originally watched this episode on my phone, then later re-watched on my 4K TV and Wow. One of the most visually impressive videos I've watched from you guys. Loved it, absolutely loved it.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks!

[@sassa82]

Incredible dive! Beautiful!

[@20pump]

Can’t believe how big the kids are getting…………wow. Great dive, what an amazing experience seeing all of those barracuda. Wonder if they were gathering to breed? I’ve never seen more than a dozen or so together while I’ve been diving.

[@chrisleon27]

I never dived ,but I like swimming in the ocean belatedly so much I swam for nearly half year now

[@marcelpinders4785]

Incredible wreck! And the huge school of barracuda was amazing. I've got OWD certified this year and would love to dive there some day.

[@sammoyers905]

Beautiful video Jonathon. Beautiful wreck. You keep adding to my huge bucket list. Love the school of barracuda. Reminds me of a night dive on Molasses Reef in 1979. Hundreds if not thousands of Barracuda formed around the glow of underwater lights from the boat. They just hovered there and then moved out of the way as you swam towards them. Amazing sight. Looking forward to the next video. 🥰

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks!!! We are looking forward to the next one too!

[@absabs3811]

Amazing, after all this time the sink was still full of water!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Congrats for your lovely family!

[@tristanlopez6640]

Wow. Best underwater channel

[@icevoss9917]

Surely amazing

[@jeffconley6366]

Just Beautiful !. Great to see a non cave diving video, again. And your signature of a Double Hose Regulator and Force Fins.

[@BlueWorldTV]

We went full retro on this one!!

[@cw24242424]

I just divid here yesterday really amazing

[@frankcoast]

I’ve done 3 dives at this wreck, always with Rhea Dive. To this day, it’s still my favourite dive location. With unbelievable visibility and uncountable varieties of fish adding to the spectacular experience of navigating through this well prepared wreck. I highly recommend the professionalism of Rhea Dive Center. Hope Johnathan has an episode for the other wreck, the Madeirense, also located at Porto Santo.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, we are doing a segment on that one too. In a few months we will release it.

[@Albiliuss]

went to this shipwreck this past week!! really nice shipwreck with easy access.

[@pjmeee]

Beautiful 💯🙂👊👍

[@judybassett9390]

I like this full length format much better than the shorts.

[@BlueWorldTV]

I agree...and I think most everyone else agrees too, but KZbin is trying to compete with the "short video scrolling on the phone" style of TikTok and IG. It's silly. We are going along with it because the algorithm likes it.

[@Tyler_18_]

it been a long time since i've seen a BlueWorld video. it's still as good as when I was young

[@BlueWorldTV]

Welcome back!

[@kristopherblyth2200]

I honestly think this is one of your top videos yet. The clarity of the water and the wreck itself was really neat.

[@Dr_b_]

there's something primordial about those bottom looking up to the surface views with hundreds of fish swimming around

[@coolnegative]

I'm probably older than you, but you should totally adopt me, teach me to dive and take me on these family adventures!

[@BlueWorldTV]

We hear that a lot. I use it to prove to my children that they are lucky to have cool parents. 🤣

[@lydialeigh4]

What a cool wreck to explore! Love all of the fish hanging out there too. 🥰

[@ivanhoque6925]

Wow that was a great video The visibility of the water and overall video quality was so soothing...I almost fell asleep! Definitely can't wait for the next dive of this Portugal adventure

[@polytopes_and_light]

Excellent video, loved it!

[@pricediver]

The music and cinematography is so epic 8:17 !!

[@ZimMusic100]

Zimmy here! Thanks for mentioning my music. Fun episode to score.

[@adampilot8275]

This is a very impressive wreck dive. What impressed me the most is not just the guns still present but cutting out sections to allow safe access from the structure. What an amazing dive.

[@BlueWorldTV]

It's just a simply spectacular wreck!

[@MRnautilus9]

The kids have gotten nitrox certified since last time we saw them, nice to see : sooo, who's planning on reprising dad's channel ? 😉 Also, what a STUNNING visibility for the atlantic ! 😮😮

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yeah, nitrox certification is not very interesting to film. It's a lecture followed by an exam.

[@OfficialRecap_Plays]

Could you ever dive Monterey Bay? I’ve heard it’s a great place to dive!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, that is definitely on our list.

Hope the lockdown ends soon.

This channel definitely needs more subscribers

[@BlueWorldTV]

Agreed!

[@moalzaben5554]

Guided missile corvettes are less capable ocean going ships, so Jonathan you’re right about them being stealthy and fast these which is perfect for littoral environments, their only perfect in hit and run attacks, most corvettes these days are not just equipped with anti ship missiles, but also with medium range surface to air missiles like the ESSM and a CIWS like the Phalanx to protect itself from enemy anti ship missiles. Perfect description of a corvette Jonathan like u said that they’re fast and stealthy basically making them an oversized missile boat

[@BlueWorldTV]

You definitely know more about them than I do!

[@moalzaben5554]

@@BlueWorldTV to be honest with u Jonathan I just read to know about combat capabilities of warships, u can read too, you’ll know more than I will

yay!!! new season! and barracudas too! what a good day

[@lei92]

wow amazing, i hope you can feature the famous WW2 Japanese shipwreck of Coron Palawan in Philipines, they got atleast 9 shipwreck there.

[@normanred9212]

Isn't it simply amazing how people say "stop trashing the ocean" yet animals and Nature finds a way to make a great benefit from a sunken ship. and yes throwing garbage in the ocean is bad but im talking ships and such

[@BlueWorldTV]

They go to a lot of trouble to clean ships, remove all the fuel, oil, anything that could pollute the water, before they sink it. And then it becomes a great artificial reef attracting a lot of life, as you can see.

[@nikkikitka6595]

What a wonderful trip! As always, awesome video and great soundtrack! ❤

[@oneshotme]

Wow at all those Barracuda's They must be getting ready to mate with that many in one place

[@robertjames-life4768]

So from this I learned that Barracuda can run circles around a Corvette! 🤣😂🤪

[@BlueWorldTV]

🤣

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

Would exploring a sunken World War II ship be more interesting? It looked kind of hard to know which of the other scuba divers is: Christine, Liam, and Elisa. By they having identical wetsuits. While you Johnathan the diver with the double air hose. Funny where Liam tries to call on one of the phones. Fascinating Liam sitting down at the artillery gun, aimed at the surface. Pretty where Elisa sits on the other side, of the artillery gun. You head over for the mess hall, but all they have is fish.

[@BlueWorldTV]

WW2 wrecks are getting very old now and deteriorating, making most of them rather dangerous to explore. Good to have new ones now and then! A playground for scuba divers!

[@fabiolopes5834]

What an amazing dive! Awesome wreck!!!

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

It's so nice to see human trash actually being used in a good thoughtful way rather than a horrid destructive one. Major props to whoever it was in the Portuguese military who was like "hey guys, what if we sunk the ship to give fish a place to live and divers an underwater museum to explore?"

[@parkershaw3753]

Tell Bruce Zimmerman that the score he made for this is outstanding! From the travel to the site to the barracuda school to the exploration of the interior of the wreck, pretty much all of it.

[@BlueWorldTV]

I will!!!

[@ZimMusic100]

Hiya Parker, Zimmy here! Glad you liked the score I did and appreciate you mentioning it. Keep watching!

[@jonathansantos2271]

Good proof of things 🍀

[@jonathansantos2271]

you know all the creatures that just had the chance to cross your path in life need translational support to be revealed deeply and somehow simply. but about what I like about you Jonathan bird is the passionate efforts you put in each thing you do from preparing, to just going out and feeling free and faithful that way. you truely remind us of what living love needs to experience and vagabond us of... I wonder if you cry at your mistakes when watching such personal life-changing events on video ,that you might of notice through your professional love values time evaluated , as well waiting for others to pitch chance your sensitive timings of what we owe to say for them us we orders of history❤️

[@BlueHorizonDiving]

What an insane dive. Looks awesome

[@elaineb7065]

Another fun family trip!!! I can't believe how much your children have grown now!!! Those barracuda would give marlin from Finding Nemo a heart attack!!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes my son is taller than me, so now he can reach all the stuff in the top cabinet for me.

[@TheSmileyTek]

Watching Blue World just makes me happy. Love the nostalgic music, too. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can go dive again. I'll be trying to get in at least 2 dives a week this summer. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a minimum of 4 ocean dives in the summer. I need some dry suit training 😆.

Thanks!

[@SolidStateSoul]

The layout and video of diving through that corvette, reminds me a lot of the virtual wreck dives of [i]Everblue[/i] and [i]Everblue 2[/i] on PlayStation 2. Except in this ship there are holes cut everywhere for light and escape (thankfully). I'd be nervous to be around that many barracuda. I know it's extremely rare for one to attack, but if one did a swarm like that is yikes. Anyway great video as always man, thanks for the dive.
