In this series, I'll travel from LA to Hawaii, to Baja California, central California, and the Sea of Cortez in search of the oceans largest creatures. While whales are the focus, my ultimate goal is find whales and sharks coexisting. A tall order but one that is likely given the wonders of sea.

Utterly fantastic. Thank you so very much for your stunning footage and narration. It is a great joy to share your channel with my children. It is a debt which can never be repaid.

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Oh man! That's too cool of you. Thanks so much! That means the world to me.

[@annakeye]

There are not enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe how seeing these creatures make me feel, so goodness knows what it must've been like for you, Carlos. There's something so exhilarating when out on the sea, with it's beautiful and changing colours, the different smells and the feeling of the wind and water on one's face and arms. And then, to suddenly interacting with such extraordinary creatures, it just astounds me that people forget about all that and continue on their polluting and destructive ways. It is clear to me that we are all interconnected. We cannot survive if the sea does not thrive. Thanks so much for sharing these moments with us.

[@msvaleriah]

Thanks for bringing us along with you and giving us this amazing content, Carlos! It's a real privilege to get to see these beautiful creatures just doing what they do. I can only imagine how breathtaking it must be in person.

[@TheMalibuArtist]

[@Jesusiscominglive777]

You don't know how much I enjoyed your breathtaking video!! I had to share it! 💯🐋💥

[@solsticelacer]

It gives me goosebumps whenever I remember we live during the same time as the largest animals ever known to exist.

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Carlos, this is absolutely stunning footage! Thank you for all you do to promote responsible stewardship of our planet’s marine environment. ❤

[@SkyeEyeSightings]

Thanks Carlos, amazing footage.

[@riafitzgerald2988]

Got a drone for my birthday last week. All because I want to film sharks off San Diego beaches. Mostly Tamarack and Carlsbad beach . It's all I've talked about since finding your channel. You are an amazing photographer. Beautiful footage! I just want to see them for myself. I'm excited to try it out next week. We're 20-30 minutes from the beach, and I love ocean life. Thanks for the beauty you share! Thanks for inspiring us to see our surroundings closer.

[@laptoples]

Hopefully you post it as well. The more education the better. 👍😁👍

[@mm1k3y]

Those false killer whales shooting out rainbows is absolutely stunning! It's so natural and so beautiful. EDIT: Time stamped @ 3:27

I loved this. More like this is good for the soul ❤❤❤

[@sanguinefern]

I just love watching this channel grow and evolve into something so beneficial to the world of sharks and whales! If there's ever an event in MA I want to be there! Thank you! (edit) My biggest question about whales is - Seeing as how whale vocalizations are of such high decibels that they can kill a human, why aren't there stories of humans being injured when diving with them? Do they not vocalize near humans? Do they know not to? Is it just a matter of chance?

[@lindanolf2113]

God bless you in all that you film. It's a great education for all.❤❤

[@Trojan0304]

Going to Dana Point for whale watching, saw a blue yesterday. So hope to see one again 🐋🐋🐋 Your video is beautiful, best on KZbin 👏👏👏

what majestic animals these are!

[@anitamendeman5999]

Thank you so much. 💜💜💜💜

[@koriw1701]

It'd remarkable to think that the big blues can consume over _4 tons of krill_ per day. Since I was a child, when I heard statistics like this, I would ask my folks, 'but won't we run out of krill if they eat that much every _day?_ Thank you again Carlos, for bringing us along on your grand tours!

[@hannsgkiwi8611]

Thank you for what you do. Living out my dream

[@MrSunnyB]

you are a legend sir

[@alishademmery3581]

Absolutely magnificent

[@tdpay9015]

Thank you for making and sharing this amazing series. Watching these awesome creatures, I'm led to ask: why do some species have barnacles, while others do not?

[@johnb7794]

Incredible!

[@johnsrous1616]

Excellent video. As a whale enthusiast and blue whale fan I've quite often wondered exactly how BLUE these guys get. Most 💙's have a deep shade of blue on their underbelly and a slightly lighter shade near the fin. Must have been something to watch one feed and, yes, these giants eat tiny krill to live. We humans find ourselves at the bottom 1/3 of life in the sea when compared with whales the size of 18-wheelers!

[@jojowynne233]

I just saw the short. Then came straight over to look for the full video. Thank you for sharing all of these amazing creatures with us. I love seals 🦭 I’d want to swim with them too but I’d probably get bitten from wanting to touch them 😂 or a hug 🤗 😂 Dolphins 🐬 The Whale Shark looked massive! They look pretty in a way. I love all whales. Have you looked up Australia’s own Migaloo yet? He’s a white whale. The Blue Whale at the end there was fascinating to watch. I appreciated the commentary about it feeding and the krill on top of the water. It was another superb video from you that had me filled with joy and love for all of them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nahuel]

Your videos bring me peace. Blues are one of my favorite animals, so majestic. Is there a chance you add metric system conversions on-screen? Like in a small corner.

[@Inazuma68]

Just wow 😍

[@angelicam.7308]

Whoaaaa😮God creation

[@ALBE_MUSIC1]

This is awesome men😍 WOW🤩

[@TheMalibuArtist]

Thanks man!

[@nancydenmark1614]

It was nice to see this compilation of videos. I’ve seen each one before but it was nice to see them again with the explanation of the activity. Also, I grew up on the east coast of Florida and I know from the seaweed that was in those waters that there was always small shrimp, crabs and fish in and under the seaweed patch. I wonder if in some of the seaweed or kelp pieces there are also small critters that the sharks can get a tiny snack from grabbing the material. Just a thought.

[@tomr1630]

Good Job
