[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@normanrevere]

Oh wow! I remember diving this a few years ago, back when the bridge was still intact. Crazy to see how much the ship tilted after the storm along with the amount of new growth on it. Thanks for sharing!

[@mystshark7646]

Great video! So much immersion!

[@monty1732]

I remember watching you so much when I was younger. I remember binging your episodes and I remember presenting one of your videos to my class in 6th grade. My dream was to always dive with you but I lived in Illinois 😔. Either way I’m so glad to see you still making videos, keep up the amazing content man and know you’ve inspired me to consider pursuing a career in diving.

[@elaineb7065]

Love how the cleaner gobies have already set up shop there!!!

Awesome!!! I would like to see some freediving from u again! :)

[@MagicOcean]

Nice video of a fun, easy wreck dive!

[@capngeo2002]

Hey Sunset! Looks like a nice new boat. About time!

[@Mikkellol160]

Seriously i can NOT stress this enough... you are the one who inspired me 6 years ago, to go diving, i wanted to go SO BAD. and eventually when i got old enough (16), here in denmark, i got my OWD, and AOWD, certificates. and went diving for 14 days in Egypt, and oh man oh man, was that not the best 14 days of my life. just the marine life, holy daum... too bad that the reefs are getting destroyed and ruined if you wanna go. START NOW. you wont regret it.

[@BananaBlaster64]

I live in denmark too Der er ikke mange der kan forstå det her

[@tijmenbakker1470]

That dive.. Was amazing!

[@TheJttv]

Sunset house is alright but if your doing shore dives then light house point was my favorite on the island.

[@rivertownrider7126]

The visibility is awesome on that wreck.

[@xandermadrid9642]

Really nice family dive. Stay safe to all the divers out there.

[@JonnyBravo0311]

I can’t wait to dive the Kittiwake again! When I dove it a few years ago, it was still upright and the bridge superstructure was still intact. I also saw a grouper on my dive! Didn’t see the cleaning fish in action, though. I’ve got a short video on my channel of my Kittiwake dive... not nearly as professionally done, since it was taken with a GoPro mounted on my wrist, but still gives a good view of the wreck - and there’s a shot of that grouper 😃

[@ryanplaysmarinelifeandmore8708]

I remember watching the other video you made on the wreck! but totally forgot it was at grand cayman

[@subhendumajhi2248]

Wow all this video experience is so awesome and lit 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

niceeeee dive

[@jonathansantos2271]

Jake is very good example. Maybe more people could try to replace such generosity eventually. Like before ,Nothing like the first time. I am sure there are more young adults who are still pure in motivation. Thank you so much🕯

[@emilybrown3882]

I absolutely love all your videos

Dude that is so awsome I am going there in t-minus 73 days!!!! I’m so glad to see a little insight of what I will be experiencing soon love the videos Mr. Bird!!!!

Awesome video. It is still my dream to one day be certified to dive. Maybe someday.

[@pravinithape2661]

[@nickjohnson410]

Awesome video! Its cool to see how an artificial reef progresses over time.

[@jacobking5043]

Been watching your videos for about 2 years finally made my first in west palm Florida and wow I'm hooked the beauty that's below the water is unimaginable love your videos keep it up

[@BlueWorldTV]

Congratulations! I love to hear that!

[@jacobking5043]

The first time I tried 2 years ago I panicked in the pool and then took up snorkling and my wife has been diving for 2 years and they got me in the pool and helped me out it was awesome. If your ever in west palm beach Florida look up ocean quest scuba adventures. Sandy and vicki are the best and know all the best places they are top notch

[@RD-bu5pe]

jake is cool

[@doctordoctor1800]

Great family hope god bless you all

I had a dream of me seeing the Queen Elizabeth through a small hole in a pool and this inspired me to actually go to the place and it looked exactly like my dream but that also interested me in marine life and here I am

hi Jonathan and everyone els in the BLueWorldTV famely. How about a update on jake? perhaps a new dive with him and see how he's doin. i just love your channel. keep up the good work :)

The ship wreck is now a fish spa. Nature knows the best way of recycling and reusing. 👍

I convinced my principal to start showing your videos in classrooms also finally got my diving license

[@BlueWorldTV]

Awesome!

[@jimforehand7571]

I can believe that ship on its side would be disorienting kinda like a fun house with full 3 dimensional movement as an added difficulty

[@wardoge5969]

i love looking at these shipwrecks. thank you so much! (sometimes i like to imagine what the shipwrecks you explore used to look like.)

Cool dive. Chris from Missouri

[@BlueWorldTV]

Hi Chris!

[@MCNmatt13]

Jonathan, please come dive in Malta it's such a beautiful island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea it has a lot of great beaches and also there is the famous blue grotto here which divers love to dive in .

[@dawnlawtey2960]

As someone who has dove this wreckage it is amazing to see how people dive this too. One question though did you go through the propeller shaft because it is pitch black inside and would love to hear your input on that if you did go through

[@BlueWorldTV]

No, you can go through there?

[@thomasdessellier2869]

Love watching your videos my only dream is to dive for the first time since I have no gear

I like Jasmine being along on the scuba dive and also where Elise is steering the Kittiwake Wreck and then taking a break on the cargo Boom. How did your Christine and Elise like the dive as they were getting back on the boat?

Hey Jonathan! If you ever want to do a show on invasive lionfish hunting on scooters in Boynton Beach Florida give me a holler!

The lionfish hunt using scooters now??? ;-)

[@USAIRFORCE621]

Hey Jonathan I decided to add a new comment cause I know you know Holly from the National Aquarium in Baltimore, I was just there this past Saturday while in Baltimore for another event and have heard she's gotten a promotion to leading and training all divers both paid and volunteer, really would like to meet you and her! Also wanted to ask you if a Moray Eel could be a resident in an aquarium and not be seen for a year? One of the National Aquarium's 2 Green Moray Eels (Oscar) has been missing for a year and I've been thinking that since Moray's are naturally nocturnal hunters that he may be feeding on the smaller fish in the tank at night when the aquarium is closed and then going back into crevices where the aquarium's divers can't see him during the day.
