You are doing a great service to the dive community by exploring and reporting on all the dive sites along the west coast. For example, I didn’t know that the diving in Puget Sound could be so good until your videos opened my imagination. My best dive ever was at north Monastery with 65’ of visibility. Thanks for showing people how beautiful Monterey diving can be!

[@AzulUnlimited]

Thank you so much!! It really means a lot that these silly videos help people. Monastery with those conditions must’ve been😍🤤 yummy

[@tanabobbi]

Love love love!!! I definitely need to make the time to dive Monterey again! And I completely agree, Joel and Yen and all the divers we met were just amazing. ❤

[@AzulUnlimited]

Can’t wait for another trip with you💙

Housekeeping...Ah you live such an exciting life! 🤣 The dives seemed to leave a little to be desired and was that a fog over Monterey? Interesting. Safe travels...

[@AzulUnlimited]

Monterey is definitely a foggy place! I really like the diving there

[@rigothecenoteguide]

It was cool meeting you at Breakwater! I'm looking forward to cenote diving with you one day! 🤙🏽

I love Monterey Bay went on a shore dive with Bamboo Reef in 2019.

[@AzulUnlimited]

Rad! Love that dive shop🤙

[@aubreydorsey5130]

Beautiful 😍 🐠

[@AzulUnlimited]

Kelp forests are magical😍

[@blakeschannel970]

Is the kelp starting to grow back? when I went diving in San Carlos beach There was not much kelp Does this mean it is growing back?

[@AzulUnlimited]

Yes! There’s a lot of kelp at San Carlos beach right now.

[@stevemichel801]

Wow that surge is insane. Do you swim or just go with the flow?

[@AzulUnlimited]

We were fighting current to get to the site but once there we were able to hang in it getting rocked forward and back, then swim to the next spot

[@EEEZSolutionS]

Debi and I are No CA based and have dived there but will definitely look up Joel and Yen for our next dive there. BTW, we really enjoyed meeting you at the show yesterday 👍😊

[@AzulUnlimited]

Amazing! Joel is an awesome instructor and if you’ve already looked at my trips, but nothing fits your schedule (😉) he also leads dive expeditions around the world. Great to meet you too! Keep in touch and maybe we’ll dive together one day

[@EEEZSolutionS]

@@AzulUnlimited Debi had back surgery in March so no diving until next March but we would love to join you sometime next year.

[@AzulUnlimited]

@@EEEZSolutionS That would be great! Hope Debi is healing well 💙

[@EEEZSolutionS]

Awe.. thanks - I will pass along your kind wishes. Keep the cool videos coming :)

I am a relatively inexperienced diver, but was trained through the California state university in Monterey for my basic certification and was starting my advanced rescue certification through the school. Was a great experience, but unfortunately due to covid causing me to change schools it's a hobby I never continued. Really liked the footage, and would totally recommend breakwater and mcabee, haven't dived point lobos or otter cove. I have dove at monastery; and as such, I do feel the warning for monastery was, lacking? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the term "advanced divers", but I do feel monastery deserves more than just that. My class at the university gave us about an 20 minute long instruction on how to safely enter and exit, and atleast a single demonstration before allowing us to even attempt. For anyone looking at this site, all I can really say is to be safe; the entry in my memory is very steep, and the lull in the waves can be relatively challenging. It is not uncommon (even for my instructor) for a diver to be knocked over and tossed about on the sand; keep your respirator in your moth at all times, and keep hold of it with one of your hands. In the case you are knocked over on entry or exit, do not attempt to restand. A crawling exit once you are knocked over will be the safer option. If you wish to try your entry again, do so once you have recovered and are out of the water after being knocked over. It happens to the best of us, I promise.

[@AzulUnlimited]

Oh I have 2 videos specifically about monastery and the dangers/techniques of diving there. I probably should’ve added a title in this video like ‘*see previous videos for techniques’ so you’re totally right there, but the info is on my channel. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@loganvannevel9104]

@@AzulUnlimited Oh, that's so cool; sorry for not doing my own research, this was the first video I had ever seen on my feed from your channel. Great videos!

[@AzulUnlimited]

@@loganvannevel9104 no worries at all! The algorithm works in mysterious ways 😉

Ok! First! I think I said WOW😮 30 times! Thank you for this! And last... what was that you were french pressing at the end of the video? Seaweed tea?😂😂😂

[@AzulUnlimited]

Hahahaha noooo… it was coffee 🤣🤣🤣 did it look that terrible?🤣😜🙈

[@papabear6092]

@@AzulUnlimited just a little chunky🤏 when you were putting it into the press🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤔

[@papabear6092]

So! under determination of review.. you were removing the old coffee from the press and that was the chunky gloppy mess... 😂😂😂

[@AzulUnlimited]

@@papabear6092 yeaaaaah it's messy, but I gotta have my coffee!

[@fungalspore]

No sidemount????

[@AzulUnlimited]

Not this time! I’ll be doing some more sidemount content once I get into diving my new dry suit undergarments

[@padraicmcgraw]

Sea urchin populations exploded off the Oregon coast because of a decline in the sun starfish population due to a sea star wasting syndrome. Is this related? Like is the predator for the sea urchin not around as much in Monterey?

[@OrenNoah]

Exact same problem.

[@AzulUnlimited]

Oren got to it first. Same problem down here.

[@leehouston4395]

a wetsuit and backmount! are you feeling ok :)

[@AzulUnlimited]

Hahaha I must be ill
