Scuba Diving From Shore!... (Malibu, California)

[@BAMFSQUAD]

Absolutely worth every cent. I had an amazing time as your dive buddy 🤙 can’t wait for the next one 😃

[@TritonsRealm]

It was a crazy awesome dive! I'm looking forward to doing some shark diving with you next.

[@BAMFSQUAD]

@@TritonsRealm let’s get sharky 🤙

[@everythingscuba]

That looked like a major workout! Great to see the BAMF Squad in the water with you guys!

[@TritonsRealm]

Oh yeah, it certainly was a work out. I had a blast diving with Bobby from BAMF Squad, and looking forward to diving with you guys again soon.

[@kerryphall]

Wow!!! I would need a long nap after that dive! Perseverance!!

[@TritonsRealm]

LOL. I definitely needed a nap after!

I love this and yes it’s always worth it! We got certified in February 2020 and learned how to dive in conditions such as these up and down this coast. I have miles of footage just like this! Laguna has become our honey hole for diving and there’s plenty of Spanish Shawls riddled on the reef. La Jolla Cove is a great site to check in on the horned sharks. If you’re lucky you might see a Seven Gill. Also a great place to play with the Sea Lions as well. La Jolla Shores for Leopard Sharks and the lone green sea turtle. 20 feet of viz is a good day here! I’m glad to see you dove it out. Thank you so much for all your efforts and time sharing these videos 🤙.

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you. We appreciate the kind words and comment. I had a blast diving in Malibu and out at Catalina Island. The kelp forests are incredible. We’ll have to put La Jolla Cove on the list for next time. Finding a Seven Gill would be a bucket list item for us. Dive safe. 👍

[@suz7939]

And now you know why we love taking a break for warm water diving. Next hit Laguna for some nice kelp diving.

[@TritonsRealm]

Lol. Yeah, we’re back in the warm water again, but thanks for recommending Laguna. We’ll keep it on our radar. I did get in some diving at Catalina Island while in CA, and we’ll be dropping that video next. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

[@stephenlagana2090]

Nice to see a vid of a less than ideal dive. Would've been too much for me, but good that the group was experienced enough to make due

[@TritonsRealm]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was a challenging dive for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@brazeagle]

Thanks for the video, great awareness lesson to many. Cheers

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you! Yep, getting a good understanding of how the water is moving before jumping in is important. Glad you were able to take away some good lessons. Thanks for watching.

[@travgal9903]

Well, sometimes you've got to work for it. Thanks for showing us Malibu though.

[@TritonsRealm]

👍 So true. Sometimes it does take a little work. Thanks for watching.

[@MaximumDiver]

By Neptune's Beard! It was a crazy diving day indeed! I'm used to have poor visibility here in St.Lawrence River, but not mixed with a crazy surf/surge as you had. Ouch! And trying to film a tiny nudibranch in that soup?? You are insane haha. Great adventure video mister! :)

[@TritonsRealm]

It was a little crazy. I almost called the dive once or twice, but we held in there. Thanks again for watching!

[@Kwolfx]

Nice video, but Leo Carrillo Beach is; IMO and many others, the best place in Malibu to dive. You don't deal with the crap you dealt with here; a long surf entry and longshore current, getting out to the best part of your dive spot. Plus, I don't dive if the surf is up unless I have to. If it's surfing time, it ain't diving time and vice versa. Though there is a large rock formation at Leo Carrillo which breaks that beach in two and to the left of it you can get some nice waves to ride while the right side remains somewhat protected from the surf. It's one of the few spots were you can see surfers and divers in the parking lot at the same time, though if the surf rises too high, forget about diving it. You can find many Spanish Shawl and Lemon nudibranchs at Leo Carrillo and I've seen both horn sharks and leopard sharks there. It's fun to tell non-divers you swam with horn sharks when they don't know the horn sharks are only about eighteen to twenty-four inches long, they just sit on the bottom waiting for nighttime to go hunting shellfish and the only way one would bite you is if you stuck one of your fingers down its throat.

[@UKDiver]

Wow… Malibu California. Not the conditions I was expecting to see bud 😮😮 Blimey. Got to be honest, THIS is why I really don’t do any shore diving! Bring me the boat! 😂😎

[@TritonsRealm]

OMG. It was an insane dive, and my only shore dive in CA. After this one, I jumped on a boat. 😎

[@lydialeigh4]

Reminds me a bit of the river dives I’ve been doing in 4 foot viz, current and wave action when freighters go by. I try to justify the work it takes to do those dives by reassuring myself it is always good skills practice. Sometimes it works, other times not so much. Well done getting the shot - worth it! Fun video to watch! 😃👌

[@TritonsRealm]

Wow. The river dive sounds like an adventure. If we can fit it into our schedule, we're thinking about diving the St. Clair River near Port Huron, MI, in early 2022. I understand the visibility may be better in the winter months, but the water temperature is cold.

[@lydialeigh4]

@@TritonsRealm Definitely! Let me know if y’all decide to make the trip, and hopefully I can join you!👌

[@TritonsRealm]

Will do. That would be great. 👍

[@WMCLComputers]

@Triton's Realm Tha was great, it remembers me a site called Los Tubos in Puerto Rico it's always like that strong current you have to fight with your life to get in and out of the water, but when the visibility is good you a a blast.

[@TritonsRealm]

Very cool. We’re planning some more diving in Puerto Rico in December. Where is Los Tubos?

[@WMCLComputers]

@@TritonsRealm Los Tubos is located in Manati. But if you are planning to go to Puerto Rico definitely you have to go with San Juan Diver in Guanica to do the wall and shark dive. Also if you have the opportunity to go to the Mosquito Pier in Veques, that's another great Dive, The is all a thought boat shipwreck in Culebra and a B29 Bomber in Agudilla. Almost any dive in Culebra island is a good day. Algo there are a couple National reserves that you can visit. Let me know if you need any help. I am currently leaving in Orlando FL and diving springs but I have a bit more tha 500 dives around Puerto Rico. Also the is another place the call Las Cuevas de Isabela the marine life is not tha great but it is a natural reef cavern that are awesome to dive.

[@TritonsRealm]

Awesome! Thanks for all the great information. This will certainly help with our dive planning.

[@deancook7589]

Looks like quite the workout! The question really is - was it worth it for YOU to get that shot??

[@TritonsRealm]

Yeah, it was exhausting, but it was worth it. Got to see something new. 😎

[@rockydfw9409]

It's diving, isn't it? It's worth the effort even if you didn't get the shot! Be safe 🤙

[@TritonsRealm]

Truer words have never been said!! It’s always worth it just to be underwater. Thanks for watching. 👍

[@ebanisteriahernandez]

Despite the visibility it is a good video, what camera are you using and what housing

[@TritonsRealm]

Thank you! Our primary camera is a Panasonic GH5s in a nauticam housing with 2 Keldan 8x video lights and an Atomos Ninja V attached. Typically we bring a couple of GoPros as well to capture more footage. Thanks for watching.

[@randyfreston962]

I appreciate the vid and insight, however, thanks for reminding me why I don't dive in Cali anymore.

[@TritonsRealm]

LOL. Totally understand. The shore diving can be a little crazy.😎

[@randyfreston962]

@@TritonsRealm I still gave the vid a thumbs up. I'm amazed you were actually able to get that NudiB shot. I have to admit I like the Frederecksted Pier and North Wall a little more when we dived them earlier in the month. Your videos on those were very helpful. Especially on the night dives at Pier. It was Octupus City!

[@TritonsRealm]

@@randyfreston962 Oh yeah, without a doubt, the Pier and North Wall are much better dives. 😊 Glad you found our videos helpful. It was mostly luck that I got a picture of that nudi. I only had a second before it went flying by again. I'll say hi to the octopus for you; I'm headed out to the pier tonight.

[@udayanpaul8042]

Are there great whites over there ??

[@BarbaraGentileCrary]

Yep, sometimes it's like this video but not always. I've had 20-40 foot viz on better days! Gotta have the time to pick and choose. It varies a lot and go with a Pro that knows how. Like you said stay in your own comfort and safety and experience!

[@TritonsRealm]

👍 Wish we had the time to wait for slightly better conditions, but we decided to go for it anyway and had a blast. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@carllafrance5510]

Hi Jeff awsome ! The vis looked like a good day in lake Erie ! The weekend before last I was doing the same thing here ! it had been blowing for a week the surf was up there was about 25 surfers the vis was zero got caught in the rip good swim to get out so I ditched the tanks and snorkeled with the surfers ! punching thru the waves was fun and body surfed back in the rip current was going across the beach and along the pier after surfing in with the waves you got in the rip and it took you right back out in the lake to where the comers started if you kept head to the waves no problem Just duck down but coming from behind I got nailed a few times I made some videos of the surfers with their go pros for them. I seen a little fish swim by in the video do you know what kind it is ? Pretty Gung ho Jeff surfers is up go diving any way I liked how you were going back and forth with the surge Must have been a challenge with the camera gear Have a great day

[@TritonsRealm]

Wow! That sounds like another crazy adventure. I didn't even realize you could surf Lake Erie. While I was kicking out, I thought, "humm, I should have left the big camera behind, " but it was too late by then. I managed it but having the big camera did make things more challenging.

[@carllafrance5510]

@@TritonsRealm Hi Jeff they don't surf here all the time the surfers watch the weather and go to where the waves are Lake Erie here is 55 miles across only 75 ft deep it was blowing on shore 55 to 60 miles an hour the waves built up pretty big the storm surge took out some docks and sunk three 40 ft yachts meanwhile we were having fun at the beach The wind surfers were out also those guys got skill one guy jumped the break wall went across the harbour and jumped the wall on the other side There is video on line if you Google "port stanley storm damage " I don't know how to Capture the link? Have a great day !

[@carllafrance5510]

I meant to say kite surfers jumped the pier not wind sutfers

[@Lecream1]

qué valiente son ustedes yo no me ariezgo de esa forma.

[@TritonsRealm]

Gracias por ver. Se necesitan años de entrenamiento para poder hacer algo como esto.

[@mikesbigadventures194]

Ah yeah, now that’s a sporty entrance and exit. I imagine you earned some decompression fluids after that. 😃

[@TritonsRealm]

😀 Yeah, there was a round of drinks after this dive.

[@eddievanlingen1935]

Body surfing crescent bay with my buddies and the waves were 5 to 8 ft plus and these heads with masks start breaking the water we were on shore watching these knuckleheads trying to get to shore it was quite a spectacle watching these divers getting worked and pounded by the waves it was quite funny they should not have been out there we felt bad for the overweight man that got slammed into the shore on a beach break his buddies pulled him out but slowly each diver was getting pounded over and over we counted 9 divers total and it was a great show lasted about 1.5 hours of pure enjoyment
