Sea Monsters of the Abyss! (Blackwater Diving in Hawaii and Florida!)

[@dreadnoughtus2598]

Night diving must be awesome! Looks so exciting. 'The wetter the better' What a name for a boat. Thanks Blue World.

People are to busy looking to the stars for new life forms when our oceans still have undiscovered amazing creatures to find

[@DarthTwilight]

At least you'll actually *find* life in the ocean.

[@kninzotagoni3635]

if they put that much effort into the ocean we would of descovered more then half already XD maby even more

[@FollowerofChrist12]

So true Filip! Some of the most beautiful creatures live in our ocean.

[@kazzykaioken8873]

They aint even looking in the stars.. they just making animated films lol. underwater is the real 'space'.. u float, cant breathe and its blue in yhe day and black at night

[@FerociousPancake888]

We should continue to do both

[@Checkgate2.0]

I like to thank Annalise as a guest narration for Hawaii narration and Jonathan for Florida narration back to back narration for a quarter world away.

One of the coolest episodes ever! Blackwater diving looks so cool! That oceanic whitetip sighting is awesome

[@darwin-evolution3948]

This is definitely one of my favourite episodes yet! From cool finds like the larvacean & siphonophores, to rare finds like the pelagic seahorse & ribbonfish, it seems like there is no shortage of strange yet wonderful encounters while blackwater diving. Also love the dually featured dive locations!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Considering that we each only did ONE dive, the amount of stuff we saw was amazing!

[@tonyajones8655]

@@BlueWorldTV I’m sure, how awesome

[@finnmcshark523]

This is awesome! As someone born and raised in Hawaii I had no idea some of these alien looking creatures live just offshore.

[@drakehuber9523]

Always refreshing when blue world drops a video.

[@johnathancox4162]

Found you guys off dive talk and oh. My. God. You can see the passion, energy and all the hard work you put into your videos. As someone who is intending on studying marine biology and getting certified for diving this truly sparks motivation in me to follow my passion. Seriously thank you mr. Bird

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@WireMosasaur]

Oh this is wonderful!! I love water column critters and they're so rarely showcased :D The split dive locations was really cool too! Annalise is a great narrator her voice is very relaxing. I was expecting something a bit spooky to pop up maybe, but the scariest thing was definitely the sudden appearance of puppet Jon, lololol

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yeah that guy is so annoying! 🤣. But hey, we gotta get those subs man!

[@amara8934]

I was late but this was such an awesome video. I can't wait to try Blackwater diving. Annalise was a wonderful narrator. The plankton floating around was sooo mesmerizing.

[@BlueWorldTV]

You should!

[@alistairlythgoe2294]

Wow, oceanic whitetips are critically endangered now from finning and over fishing. Extremely lucky

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yes, becoming a very rare shark.

[@kreation2021]

@@BlueWorldTV are they going to protect it ? Like which places are they protected ?

[@DarthTwilight]

Yeah, Japan needs to quit brutally killing animals. It's one thing to eat the whole shark. Just finning it and tossing it back is cruel.

[@rosemariemarkell744]

@@BlueWorldTV oh, hi!

[@nobudgetmemes6202]

The IUCN lists it as vulnerable but it does say the central Atlantic population is critically endangered. It’s sad to see their numbers drop day by day just for a tasteless fin soup 😔

[@sirdavidattenborough4270]

If you ever go to French Polynesia,I really recommend going shark diving at night

Mother earth amazes us everyday ❤️❤️❤️

[@RMRRafa]

8:00 my favorite shot, beautiful

[@todivetoday]

So cool, Jonathan, thank you for the awesome footage. I did not experience black water diving yet, looking forward to doing it soon. Cheers

[@BenjaminWongYT]

This is just great. The quality is good, wait no, it's AMAZING! The encounter with that mature C.longimanus was just thrilling. It shocked me to see a critically endangered C.longimanus on this kind of dive. At the same time, noting that most creatures came from the deep, and the fact that C.longimanus can dive to 1082M deep.

[@layti.official]

What a great video! I like how you show your point of views. I can’t wait to see more blackwater diving videos like this!

[@annebartells777]

This is just awesome. I was in Hawaii a long time ago. I took one of those tourist submarine dives. It was so fascinating, minus the sea sickness. Doing that at night would be such an experience

[@HandsomeSexyBadGuy]

How much did it cost?

[@brandi-annpagano6702]

How overwhelming!!! The nightlife of the open ocean is beautiful! The pelagic seahorse was awesome and all of the juvenile fish were so cute. The scalloped ribbon fish was a favorite. 😊

[@BlueWorldTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronnw8153]

Yeahhhhh a new video! Love you all :D

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

This is so unexpected of you Johnathan to now be a part of the adventure in Hawaii. Nice that Annalise is the narrates the video during when we're watching this in Hawaii, as well as pretty amusing from watching her scuba diving on the Hawaii night dive adventure. So how does she like having to wear mask, for Covid 19? Scuba diving at night can make it difficult to recognize one scuba diver from another, from far view.

[@borikennautical6649]

Hawaii, so so beautiful sir. That is a nice dive and awesome experience sir. A lot of interesting sea creatures, wow. My uncle was a marine biologist and love night dives because you see more marine life. Florida sir is super to. I live in Florida 😊😊😊😊🦈🦈🦈 But born and raised in Puerto Rico and I miss the diving down there. Have fun and keep up the good work!

[@mr.cool...8007]

Just unbelievable...... MORE BLACK WATER.... VIDEOS PLZZZ .... 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@busybillyb33]

I thought the seahorse was going to be the coolest thing you found. But the rest of the animals being shown were as exciting or better. Amazing!

[@braedynhoward3644]

Didn't't know this kind of diving was a thing. Another dive to add to my bucket list! Looks super cool, like being deep in the depths, seeing things only seen on shows like Blue Planet.

[@fernandocoura4471]

I was supposed to be going on a trip to Hawaii with my military school band in a couple months, but Hawaii got shutdown and now I’m very depressed because I know I’ll never get another opportunity. But it was nice that this video came out at right about the same time our trip got canceled. Love this channel, keep up the good stuff

Hello blue world team! I'm back here after 4-5 years and I've never felt this type of nostalgia. Thank you for making my childhood wonderful! This channel will always hold a special place in my heart❤

[@joshmandeville3835]

I love blackwater dives. Blackout dives are pretty spooky too. Next time you upload a video about blackwater diving, you should introduce with "This time on Black World"

[@aaronmcentee9310]

Okay those creatures, (even the baby Dragon fish) were adorable. When i was young, i wanted to become an oceanographer and marine biologist. Never turned out that way, but my love for the critters that live in our oceans has stayed strong. My 2 favorite deep sea creatures are the Giant Phantom Jelli (cnidarian) and Magnaspinna Squid (cephalopod). There's a video that shows the squid sitting with it long tentacles hanging it has the longest tentacles of all the squids and can be 32 ft and longer. It looked so alien, and the Phantom jelly has four arms as opposed to tentacles which it uses to enrobe its prey. It it looks like it dances and sways the ribbons of the times around like four tiny cloaks. There is a lot of scary looking stuff in the ocean though I don't think anybody can deny that ; )

[@kuitaranheatmorus9932]

Now this is was a pretty awesome Blue World video,especially cause it's a night drive,and that's very awesome. Also hope yall are having a great day

Hey Jonathan, How often do bioluminescence (the glowing water) occur? Also, as a suggestion it would be cool if you can make an episode based on the topic bioluminescent.

Very nice, seeing all these special creatures! I'll take a look again especially for the cutting and montage. Seems like you guys have made it special mixing both locations into one docmentary. Jonathan, can you give some information as to the depth(s) where this was filmed? And of course thank you all! Always considered a special gift when a new episode comes out.

[@whalenunderwater540]

Cameraman Zach here, for the Hawaii part we were over 7000ft of water but our max depth was 60ft with most the filming was around 30ft or less.

[@agerven]

@@whalenunderwater540 Thank you so much Zach! Amazing that those creatures come up to 30-60 ft (10-20 meters). That really makes it feasible to encounter them during such a dark dive. Really enjoyed this episode, thank you.

[@BlueWorldTV]

For the Florida team, the water was "only" 700 feet deep, and we were filming very shallow--30-50 feet.

[@agerven]

@@BlueWorldTV And thank you as well, Florida team. 30 feet is my absolute limit and the depth of those oceanic water columns always amazes me.

[@girolamoPICCINNI]

Great video thank you

[@Mocsfromscratch]

If plankton sink at the bottom of the sea during the day from predators, plankton are also safe from predators at night. Some plankton glow in the dark to scare predators. 1:20
