Underwater Adventures in the AZORES!

[@CherylPix62]

Jonathan, thanks again for taking us with your family, to a place many of us would never be able to visit! Thanks Bird Family! 😊❣️

[@FriendlyKat]

Adding Azores to the bucket list of dive places now. Such a beautiful place!

[@Erockzee]

Love the Azores!!! Great video with the fam! I love diving with my wife and kids too!

[@captvalstrax]

About time you get to the Azores! My favorite place in the whole world! Terra Nostra Garden is my favorite place to stay on São Miguel.

[@ThatCasualZach]

Good to see the Bird Flock going strong!

[@FrostyLiv]

Hi Jonathan, im Olivia when I was younger I loved ur videos and still do! I love sharks and the ocean thanks to you!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yay! Thanks for watching Olivia!

[@peterjohnson8935]

I got a notification so had to tune in. Great. Thanks!

BEST PART OF MY DAY

[@NikkiDoesStufff]

As someone who grew up poor and still hasn’t really climbed my way out, I hope Liam realized just how lucky he is to go on excursions like this. What an adventure. At least I can watch the videos and see places I’ll never get the chance to otherwise

[@BlueWorldTV]

Our kids are very lucky, there is no question.

[@horhevamp8890]

@@BlueWorldTV my only comment in an otherwise amazing dive for the first one is that Liam was holding the line during the safety stop. Obviously you knew the sea there (or the guide did anyway) but its a no-no as it can pull you up and down (and some times very harshly) if there are waves etc..

[@angeliquesellers4620]

​@@BlueWorldTV Awesome 💯! I can't wait to see fish 🐟🐠. Like sea turtle 🐢, beluga, dolphin 🐬, Whale 🐋🐳, & Orca Whales. I'll do scuba diving 🤿! 😎

This was my childhood! I learned my sea animals by watching Johnny's Blue World. I can't thank you enough and I liked this video! Much love from north carolina!

[@raphaelforns5562]

Again some amazing images and adventures! I visited the Azores Islands a few years ago, and they are among my favorite locations for both land and underwater exploration!

[@Box2.0]

You were my childhood, i loved watching sealife and learning about creatures when i was 4-7 years old, now im 13. Its amazing you still upload videos❤

[@BlueWorldTV]

It's what I love to do. I will keep making Blue World until I don't like doing it. I can't imagine I would ever not like doing it.

I need to go to the Azores! Definitively on my must to do list.

[@aboutlove7718]

I'm about to start my journey to college with a biology degree next year, with the goal in mind of becoming a marine biologist one day. This channel is always my inspiration. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for being here!!

[@BadMonkeyTouring]

I love the Azores. I've stopped in Santa Maria many times for fuel while flying from Florida to Europe, but only had the pleasure of staying overnight twice. I'd definitely like to go back for a longer stay and even get a few dives in.

[@Herowebcomics]

This was so cool! You and your family are amazing!😊

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks! So nice of you!!

[@nayaleezy]

What a lovely adventure! 🐠

[@sammoyers905]

Another AMAZING Video Jonathon. Looking forward to the second Azores video. Hoping to meet you and the Bird family at Bonaire in 2024. Thanks for sharing.... The Blue World. 🙂

[@HeatherSZ]

Looks epic! I've always wanted to try a liveaboard. What a beautiful place!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Liveaboards are a wonderful way to do a ton of diving. It can be exhausting, but you get lots of dives. I usually recommend that people also plan to spend a few days before or after the liveaboard on land so you can soak up the local scene a bit too. Because that's the thing you miss on a liveaboard.

[@Sharkkfacts]

As a KZbinr and a HUGE fan that Jonathan knows, I rate this a definitely should go to those islands out of 10.

[@pmc291]

Love the force fins!

[@Sabrina-od4mr]

Wow, another amazing video! 🤿

[@kalonjah911]

Nice nudibranch spotted towards the bottom-left of the Moray Eel shot 16:40

[@bigbrain-ux4ip]

I used to watch these videos in fourth grade, but then I stopped. 3 years later, I'm watching one of these videos again.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Yay! Welcome back!

[@kim0735]

Very cool, what depth

[@BlueWorldTV]

Not that deep. We had the kids with us, so we tended to keep it shallower than 100 feet. Most dives weren't much deeper than 60 feet.

[@AllieThePrettyGator]

Fun fact the highest point in Portugal which is Mount Pico is actually in the Azores

[@amybradley5821]

Loved my visit to the Azores. No diving but maybe next time

[@BlueWorldTV]

Even without diving, the islands are quite beautiful!

[@ahmedmahomed]

Wow ❤ Just passed my padi o/w a few days ago. Got 100%. ❤ In a few days, I'll be doing my in-water sessions. So excited 😊

Wait until we get to Santa Maria!!

[@onearmedwolf6512]

I wonder if the Bird children realize how lucky they are? They have gotten to see some of the most incredible places around the world

[@BlueWorldTV]

I think they do now, but not sure that was always the case.

Still waiting for Santa Maria video! We can’t wait 💙☺️

Scheduled for May. But the Formigas episode is coming tomorrow!

[@MRnautilus9]

Currents seemed strong, see you were paddling like hell to keep up 😮 Didn't know there were liveaboards on the azores 🤔 They do have a nice submarine landscape though !

[@nyjinvarghese2125]

cool

[@KLeeS-kl9lc]

Zimmy's soundtracks are always perfect for the tone and feel of each episode, but the segment that begins around 7:33 and fades out around 8:42 (and has tiny echoes throughout the rest of the episode) is so mesmerizing and so wonderfully atmospheric that I felt compelled to create an account just to tell him so -- and ask him if he'd ever consider compiling his favorite Blue World melodies into an album. Thanks for considering!

[@BlueWorldTV]

I will make sure he sees this comment. Thank you!!

[@BruceZimmermanMusic]

Hi. Zimmy here! So happy you love the music I write for Blue World. It's fun to do!

[@KLeeS-kl9lc]

@@BlueWorldTV Thanks! :)

[@KLeeS-kl9lc]

Thanks for the reply! I really enjoyed the video from a few years back where we got a sneak peak of how you (and your pup) compose the scores for each episode -- it was interesting to see how you emphasize certain emotions and visuals, and how you also sometimes add moments of silence to emphasize words, rest the ears, change the tone, etc. The segment I mentioned before reminds me of Peter Gabriel's instrumental soundtracks, but later in the episode, I hear echoes of Eric Satie. A nice mix! I wonder if you would consider blending some of your favorite Blue World soundtrack moments into a medley?

[@BruceZimmermanMusic]

@@KLeeS-kl9lc Hi. It is an interesting idea of putting a BW music compilation together. We will talk it over with the team and see how that might work. Thanks!

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

So good that you have your whole family on all your dives in this video. However it would be nice to know who's while you all are scuba diving, since you're all in same looking wetsuits.

[@Randomsausage.]

I would just like to say that you carried my childhood and still do. I started watching your channel when I first discovered KZbin. I was 5 and am now 13. Because of you, when I was 10 I decided to get my diving licence. I have been able to se so many amazing animals. Also will there be any limited Kerch this year? Last year I bought the hammerhead signed merch and ordered it to England however because of the postal strikes it never arrived😢🥺

[@Randomsausage.]

Well it did but got lost I’m guessing

[@BlueWorldTV]

I'm really sorry about the shirt. We had some issues with international shipping on that. We are thinking about doing another shirt this year. Congratulations on your certification!! That's awesome to hear.

[@krazyadn]

Jonathan! Next time you're here lets go on an EBIKE ride! to get you guys somewhere where you'll feel llike a fish out of water :D

Whats the water temperature in these places Jonathan? Its the ocean but I noticed you guys didnt wear drysuits. Are 7mm enough?

Oh yes, we wore 7mm wetsuits and it was fine. Water was in the low-70s. Of course that's summer. If you went in the cooler months, it gets down to the low 60s!

[@andrews.9286]

What are those tanks? They seem short and fat.

[@BlueWorldTV]

They are steel HP80 cu ft tanks that hols as much as a normal Aluminum 80 but because they are high pressure, they can be a little smaller. One thing to know about diving in Europe (which includes the Azores) is that they use the DIN valve system. Some places have Yoke adapter valves, but not all. So bring a DIN regulator.

This is a mystery to me. KZbin doesn't have any way of analyzing the QUALITY of a video and serving it up to more people.
