Underwater Cave Creatures! (World's rarest cave?)

Jonathan and Cameraman Todd join cave explorer Christine Loew to investigate Aerolito Cave on the island of Cozumel in Mexico. This cave has more life than almost any cave in the world, including three species of cave-adapted sea stars that are found nowhere else on Earth!
Christine Loew is an amazing cave/cavern diving guide! We highly recommend her! If you are planning a cave/cavern diving trip to Mexico, drop her a line!

I pick and choose my risky adventures. Scuba diving, especially in caves, is not for me. I enjoy living vicariously through you. You’re a bit of a mad man to be honest. This looks absolutely terrifying. Great channel and wish you continued success!

[@BlueWorldTV]

I don't feel like a mad man! But thanks for watching!

[@vincentho3964]

@electric future - agree : I'll freak out in underwater caves 😖😳

[@Ferinm]

@Electric Future .. have some respect for elders.. mad man? That’s cheap .. I hope you won’t like if someone Calls you or your father or husband a mad man ? He has 2 little kids who watch his channel and my kids who are 6 and 4 resp. So watch out

[@jacobkudrowich]

@@BlueWorldTV madmen never do! Great content, stay safe!

[@sammoyers905]

We fear what we don't know. I have been diving for years and actually taught some people who were at first petrified of what was underwater. As for caves, I have done some cavern diving, and it makes me want to check out cave diving, because I love spelunking above water. One of the most amazing things in life is pushing through your fears and finding beautiful, amazing adventures beyond. SCUBA Diving and Cave Diving are only risky when you try it without the proper training.

[@sethwallace7666]

Hey Jonathan, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this or not, but I just wanted to say that I love watching your videos with my little brother! Both of us have always been fascinated by the ocean, and he says one of the things he’d like to be one day is a marine biologist. Thank you so much for making family friendly, wholesome content for so many people of all ages to enjoy! I pray you and your family are safe no matter where you go out there in the Blue World :)

[@BlueWorldTV]

Happy New year, Blue World team!!

[@SWFLLifestyle]

This channel literally changed my life and brought me so much closer to the water and always kept me curious and excited about the world around me thank you for making these videos

[@BlueWorldTV]

Love that! Thanks!!

[@alexm3504]

Jonathan, if you’re some how reading this I want to thank you for being such an inspiration to me and my interests. I have a passion for studying the ocean and specifically learning about sharks. Just seeing you go and swim the ocean to explore unique habitats and animals is so heart warming for me. Anything could result in your death but you do it anyway because it’s something you can’t let go. I feel the same and want to be like you when I’m older. I would love to take diving classes and learning about marine biology. All of this is what shaped me today and I couldn’t thank you more. It totally beats me being successful as a gamer youtuber. Just watching this incredible footage and hearing you explain everything in detail. This just always brightens my day and I can’t stop myself from watching. Just contributing to teach others about the ocean and showing the incredible geography in caves while diving in them is so amazing. Jonathan, your a very kind person and has been doing this for years and I couldn’t thank you more and these videos could also be changing so many more people for the better and we wouldn’t even know. Keep doing what your doing and know everyone appreciates your presence in the blue world🙏🙏😃👍

[@huntress44]

That entrance to the cave looks magical and so are those stars! I can only imagine trying to fit into those cracks without bumping or feeling claustrophobic. Btw, just want to let you know you inspired me to dive and in the last days of 2020, despite the pandemic I managed to earn my open water certification in my home country (Puerto Galera, Philippines). The underwater world is truly beautiful. Thank you for your inspiring, quality content! 😄

[@kodiererg]

The Philippines are a great place to dive. Once COVID dwindles down enough I fully intend to go back there and dive again. This time in Coron. Last time I was there I went to Subic Bay, the water has a lot of turbidity because it has rivers running into it, but it has a lot of great wrecks.

[@huntress44]

@@kodiererg indeed! Not to mention the warm waters even at this time of the year. I hope we could open our country to tourists soon

Always nipping your heels. Was just down in Tulum in October, cave diving (Nohoch, Eden, Mayan Blue, car wash, Dos Palmas, etc), in Florida in December diving Gennie, Madison Blue and Peacock (even ran into and chatted with your buddy Wayne at Amigos!) - and Cozumel back in September doing some hypoxic Trimix dives on those gorgeous walls! The Blue world is a small world! Great work and episode - plan to dive This cave next time I’m on the island in Feb.

[@BlueWorldTV]

That's awesome! We are seeing Wayne again in 2 weeks. First cave diving trip since February. I'm so excited!!

[@lucasbatt1468]

Great start to the New Year, I never knew that there are so many unique species in the Playa del Carmen/ Cancun/ Cozumel area. I feel really lucky for living in that area. I really hope that I can one day be a cave diver, junior open water just isn't enough here. Stay safe, and I love your videos!

[@BlueWorldTV]

The caves in Cozumel are not that widely known, because most of the people visiting Cozumel are reef diving and there aren't many cave guides on the island. The main guy who leads cave dives on Cozumel was off island when we were there, so we had to get our friend Christine to take the ferry over and lead the dive for us.
