Nice job keeping the GoPro steady. Good job demonstrating that you don’t need a $2,000 setup to take great videos.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yep...this video was shot 100% with GoPros and a Mavic drone.

[@Teampegleg]

For video the GoPro is very impressive when used correctly.

[@adampilot8275]

These are truly beautiful sight. As someone that dives in the Northern gulf of Thailand it is ALWAYS a highlight of my dive to see sea turtles. Great clip Jonathan the GoPro gave some good images.

[@BuffyLynn]

Glad to hear the turtles have learned not to fear divers. 🥰 I hope that trust is always warranted. So gorgeous♥️

[@lydialeigh4]

I really appreciate seeing the Queen Angelfish sharing lunch with the Hawksbill turtles. Roatan looks awesome!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@natesmarinelife4028]

I love the angelfish and turtles share

[@yazdanbayat6641]

Great one, great

[@maverickfalcon4856]

I just came home to this wonderful surprise

[@1989Goodspeed]

02:10 wow, you got me: "What underwater IMAX camera?!" That got my atention. Lol.

[@kariingason6569]

Lovely part of the world! I was in Utila a few years ago and did some snorkeling. Gorgeous, gorgeous place! Went a bit too far off the reef and nearly had a heart attack when I saw the drop-off. So deep!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yeah I love Utila!

[@dreadnoughtus2598]

Whenever I see Turtles I always hear a voice in my head that says, "Cowerbunger Dudes!"

[@FintasticFilms]

I miss Roatan so much! One of my favorite dive locations I’ve been to. I stayed at Infinity Bay while I was there, which is pretty cool!

[@BlueWorldTV]

That's where we stayed too.

[@Javier-pm3fs]

I like when the turtle and fish are eating together

[@oscarcarias4932]

I am from Honduras, and I am happy to see the beauty we have in those coral reefs. I've been to Utila and Cayos Cochinos, but Roatan is still on the list of places I have to visit. Glad you took wonderful shots that I can enjoy until I behold all of that with my own eyes.

[@chisaquaticvibe6524]

Fuzzbutt: You asked for it! Sharkbait: Finally a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!

[@GlacierEQ]

This is such a nice video Jonathan Well done!!! Your Videos are so educational to help people learn about life in the sea and it helps me learn too! I just forget sometimes LOL! Your videos always make me smile!💖🤗🤗🥰🥰😃😃 Thats kida weird you call a turtle that has Algae growing on its shell Fuzzbut LOL!

Hey Jonathan, I just love the view of Roatan. Looks beautiful

[@elaineb7065]

You are a lucky man, Jonathan. Hawksbill turtle is an endangered species of sea turtle, they are Critically Endangered and very rare now!

Hey thanks for visiting my country!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Our pleasure!

[@benjamincreem4843]

I went to Roatan in February. Its my only dive destination so far but I had a ton of fun. I'd love to go back someday but I have many more destinations to check off the list first.

[@BlueWorldTV]

So many places and so little money! That's the problem!!

[@exploringwithnug]

I wonder if a sea turtle could bite a finger off like a snapping turtle. They sure are fun to see in the wild though!! 🐢🐢

[@BlueWorldTV]

They definitely COULD but they generally won't.

[@marvinbai]

Awesome video! I just bought a GoPro 10 too. This video gives me the motivation/illusion that I could produce a industrial level video with the equipments in hand too 😂

[@natesmarinelife4028]

Your content is awsome keep up the good work

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks!

[@eleanorknoesen8694]

Love your videos, keep it up🏆🏆🥇🥇

[@BlueWorldTV]

Glad you like them!

[@scubadivingviolet2108]

Shark bait vs fuzz butt! Who will win in their non violent fight for food? Haha

[@markpunderwaterdiving]

what kind of filter/lens do you have on the outside of your gopro 10 housing?

[@exkama]

I wanna know too

[@LyricatorRiickl]

Same here

[@BlueWorldTV]

It's an Inon wide angle wet lens. Helps remove the chromatic aberration of the flat port and restore the angle of view you would get in air. It's awesome! www.backscatter.com/Inon-UFL-G140-SD-Underwater-Semi-Fisheye-Conversio

[@markpunderwaterdiving]

Thank you!

[@otsoni03]

@@BlueWorldTV Is it possible to use red filter with that Inon wide angle wet lens?

[@stilcrazychris]

Very nice footage Mr. J. The Gopro 10, IMO, did a good job capturing the down under the sea. Makes me want to sing the little mermaid song 🎵......... lol..... it will be off key forsure. So I'll spare your ears & we'll just say I sung it. OK? Good, glad your on board w/that, didn't want to ruin your hearing for life...... hehe hehe.. Thanks for the great video of Under the Sea, be safe, & God bless, Chris from Missouri

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thank you! 😃

[@seaturtleaddicts2569]

What a beautiful video Jonathan ! As you can see on our channel we love sea turtles ans we travel the world to swim with these amazing creature. Could you send me more informations about the secont spot you went to please ? But we don't dive , do you have any recommendation about a sea turtle spot we could go to. We will go to ROATAN at the end of the year. Thanks in advance for your help. Laura from France and @seaturtleaddicts

[@EnergiZeScuba]

Some seaturtles are able to "breath" through the after :D

[@AndrewWang.]

you should try diving in Puerto Rico!

[@russianman3338]

I remember your first video about blue sharks, I think about 15 years ago?

[@jameebacinski8602]

You should check out the Cayos Cochinos.

Your videos are very educational ,thank you and your crew for making All these videos.Also at the end I think Fuzzbut won and sharkbait swam away.

[@moalzaben5554]

Hey Jonathan, have u ever been diving in Oregon, if so then the wildlife is the same as Washington right? Is the diving cool there?

[@Lifelinetnt]

Hey dude go to Seaworld San Diego to see the orcas for this weekend they have five males and five females

[@henriquedearruda8902]

Can you do a dive in Brazil 🇧🇷 next and look for barracuda?

[@floodedcamera]

Another great episode. I wanted to ask which Camera Zack is filming you? When the camera switches colours look totally different :) I like the colours from your GoPro footage more. Sorry Zack.

[@BlueWorldTV]

I had a Hero10 and Zach was running a 7. But his also had a red filter to help compensate for loss of red at depth. The Hero10 seems to have more ability to boost the reds underwater than the 7. Normally we shoot with much better cameras. This episode was an exception. We used what we had.

[@youhavenolifeamlga1135]

BRO GOT HIS HANDS ON A 5K GOPRO

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yeah, and it still just kinda looks like GoPro footage.

[@takanishi21071979]

TMNT 🐢

[@vishalmishra7203]

It was amazing. I want to dive in deep someday and get back offcourse.🙂

[@chrisbalchen7097]

Great Video Johnathan! I was curious what type of camera was filming you? I noticed it had more blues and greens in its footage and wondered if the bubble lens or maybe a filter made your footage more white balanced. Great footage!

[@BlueWorldTV]

I was shooting with a GoPro with an Inon wet lens. I will do a little technical video about it.

[@joshmandeville3835]

What type of nitrox were you using at 110ft? Or were you not using nitrox and just using a nitrox cylinder

[@BlueWorldTV]

You can use a mix like 32% down to 130 feet if you are willing to go to a PO2 of 1.6 ATA.

[@joshmandeville3835]

@@BlueWorldTV ah that makes sense. Seeing as the average of the dive didn't seem to be around 100ft, I got worried you were using 40%. Glad I was wrong!

[@veerrocks]

Hey Jonathan my name is Veer I am a 13 year old musician who loves to study about all types of wildlife but I have particularly been attracted towards marine wildlife ever since I started watching you..In fact you inspired me to go to the Andaman and Nicobar islands and go scuba diving for the first time on the 4th of January (my 13th Birthday) well it was painful but I did enjoy..I would definitely give it another go but the next time I go I want to go with you. I talk about you a lot to my friends and family. I have always been a fan...it's been my dream to come see you....I wish you come to Delhi in India thats where I live and then we could do diving wherever you want to take me! Even if it means that I have to go out of my country,,,

[@BlueWorldTV]

Congratulations on getting scuba certified! I have not been to the Andaman Islands. I hear they are great. Why was it painful?

[@veerrocks]

@@BlueWorldTV It was painful because of the amount of pressure in the water...us delhi-dwellers live so much in the city that we are not used to so much pressure in our ears so they really start to hurt
