It is so nice to be able to watch video with Alan in it. Thanks Bird man

[@BlueWorldTV]

I'm glad we were able to make such a nice video with him so there is a great reminder of him. He was a kind soul.

[@brettsmith3590]

I have been diving in that river with Alan as well. Found a beautiful pearl blue great white. Alan is a damn good guy and anyone that would like to dive the Cooper should definitely look him up!

[@TheBubbaintexas]

Fact!

[@alandevier2872]

Thanks guys! I love that river and I’m blessed to be able to introduce others to a hobby that I’m so passionate about!

[@g_ball321]

@@alandevier2872 im kinda confused on how they would make their way all the way from the oceans to those rivers i mean i understand the currents but would the oceans been so much higher those rivers coulda been parts of the oceans or waterways to the oceans i just dont understand that part i guess either way cool stuff though .

[@coinhorder9243]

Hey ok aren't you worried about Gators.

[@joshd.godfroy4761]

Coin Horder, gators and sharks. Also, squids. Did you know that the Lionfish which are very poisonous are spreading throughout our ocean. A guy got stung by one and committed suicide because the pain was so severe and excruciating painful. Anyways, water that murky? I'd never dive down in. So yes. Great point.

[@ayshaazeez2943]

watching ur videos after all these years gives me a feeling of nostalgia. i am heartbroken bcz i just found out Alan passed away from the comments :( thank u for educating all of us jonathan!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, it was very sad. Alan was a really wonderful, generous person and a great dad. He is sorely missed.

[@oceanthewolf9841]

I love how you teach us and not only dive in your videos, I love learning about marine life

[@billycausgrove9657]

Bill Mercer you stole the name Alan from hungry shark evo and i glad you not say allen im ROY ALLEN

lol I was about to comment the same thing

It's a low country accent

[@billycausgrove9657]

My grandfather was a fossil Hunter and when he passed away I got his 8 Megalodon teeth he found.

[@aspect_3056]

Billy Causgrove impressive

[@Drakies55]

Can you prove it? By showing us a video.

[@arryanseepersad6762]

Im so sorry he passed away

[@Mina-of1vo]

Hey be the next fossil hunter

[@korichan241]

Billy Causgrove hahaha cool!

[@floating69poet]

Unfortunately Alan is now a Legend. He is no longer with us. He was a great diver and an even better friend to everyone.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Everyone at Blue World is extremely sad.

Johnathan, you should totally be Aquaman one Halloweeen. You’re the real world Aquaman

[@LPRD]

My first ever dive had this visibility. Big lobsters suddenly appearing was pretty frightening

[@Iheartdgd]

Haha youre not kidding . My first dive was in Hawaii , i was pretty young and got split up from my group , and I remember i was swimming between these huge rocks trying to go back and they were converted in urchins, and the rocks got closer and closer together and i just barely slipped out without touching anything LOL. Then that same day we went to an extinct volcano somewhere off the island , and of course a big ol shark showed up.

[@Iheartdgd]

Now i see what yo mean about the visibility.. when i got into my teens , my father started taking me abalone diving. The place we used to go had water like this and you couldn’t see a DAMN thing.

[@juliaarchibald9977]

Lennard Datema for my first dive I was at lake Illopango in El Salvador! We were diving around a small island that has a sunken ring of Virgin Mary statues. Do you know how weird it is to nearly crash into a statue that appeared out of nowhere? It was awesome but we could barley see our hands.

[@cat5759]

Same but not lobsters crabs

[@FintasticFilms]

One of your coolest videos. I remember when you gave away some of the megalodon teeth you found, and I was one of the lucky winners. I still have my tooth on display in my home office!

[@missmelodyjoy]

Your channel is helping me keep well beyond sane during my Covid quarantine. Very interesting topics covered. I’m learning so much. I had no idea megalodons were real.

[@BlueWorldTV]

So glad to have you with us! Welcome!

[@ElizabethSwims]

That is so cool. But that low visibility would freak me out.

[@BlueWorldTV]

It freaked me out too!

[@blakeaustin6471]

[@thecrusadessayhi9764]

Elizabeth Swims I live here on this river you get used to the low visibility someone I know does dives here regularly for his business...the gators and sharks aren’t scary if you don’t mess with them and sharks are rare... the scariest thing that you can encounter is a manatee that you might mistake for a shark

[@margueritagrey-ben7262]

That would also freak me out

[@randyl9071]

It does freak a person out. You always wonder what's going to end up in your face. It's like going to the outhouse in the woods at night when you're camping with visions of Bigfoot dancing in your head.

[@BigBoss-qy5wd]

If that megalodon shark is still living today, Oceans will be a big nope

[@schizoamerican]

areeb1296 nope Edit: the orcas would run

[@sameermohideen4913]

areeb1296 Sure............20 of them

[@lordgamer---]

See the meg movie and see what well happened if he real

[@T0RNADO7]

Some megaladons still exist

[@margueritagrey-ben7262]

areeb1296 yes

[@user-yo2kv2ds2h]

anyone else feel like a megalodon was gonna come outta no where

[@BlueWorldTV]

I'm glad it didn't!

[@dhaiivatraval8795]

How will it fit in a small dense river man

[@beastmanttcc1058]

BlueWorldTV If you ever do somehow see a megalodon, you HAVE to film it. And not get eaten 😁

[@jh.fishing996]

No I thought a crocodile was

[@coinhorder9243]

@@BlueWorldTV Aren't you worried about gators in the river? I do not know if there are any or not. But they seem to be all over the coastal area of the Southern part of North Carolina.

[@Str8Flossin]

Please pray for Captain Alan’s safe return. He’s missing at sea.... we need positive thoughts 🙏

[@BlueWorldTV]

We are very worried for him and hoping he is found soon.

[@ej3077]

BlueWorldTV Don’t know if you guys know or not but Alan was found on this past Mother’s Day, he is unfortunately gone.

E J unfortunately so.

[@pinchy08]

Those teeth would make an amazing museum exhibit.

[@racingislife15]

My diving instructor was telling us about his Cooper River diving finds!! Said he's found bunches of megalodon teeth and other cool historic artifacts! Definitely on my bucket list to dive in that river!

Honestly this show it's the best thing that happened to me

[@michaellouton3870]

Wow, this would be my dream trip. I’d go in a heartbeat. There are a few rivers in my home state of Fl. Where you can find them but it can get dangerous because of not only lack of visibility but snakes and worse, alligators.

It was custom scored by Zimmy our composer. We did an extra on him.

[@bemusedbandersnatch2069]

@@BlueWorldTV I'm definitely going to have to look that one up then because I was already thinking prior to this video that the guy in charge of music really knows what he's doing. This particular video just finally pushed me into commenting about how impressed I am by his work.

The megalodon shark is my favorite

[@randyl9071]

I took my checkout dive in Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota in 1972. Near zero visibility for my first dive outside of a pool. It sucked, but it gave me a lot of confidence for future clear water dives.

[@Erockzee]

Seriously cool! Also I about died when he put the big meg tooth on the gunnel at the end 😂 of your dive. Glad the inspection was moved after that. Thanks for sharing!

[@double-helix-22x22y]

it's almost as if nature makes finding those teeth spooky and challenging on purpose. you have to earn finding those final and legendary megalodon traces. how I envy you.
