[@JoeOceanside]

Thanks, amen. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@Erica_says_hi]

Great video and the message at the end was the best!

[@georgeclausen2408]

your observation at the end of the video is too true...the springs are so beautiful, the water soo pure and freely flowing...

[@JoeOceanside]

Thanks for watching!

Great video brother. I’m 72 years old and have a strong connection with you and the gorgeous natural springs of Florida. Immediately after graduating high school in 1968, I packed all my little earthly belongings into one suitcase ( with room to spare ) and headed straight to Florida with intentions of diving every single sight. Before that I needed to build a savings so I ended up working with a marine construction company out Tampa. Loved that summer job and was about to end up in Nassau Bahamas to erect the first large bridge to Paradise Island ( known as Pig Island back then ) but my dad forwarded my draft notification to me and I enlisted in the Coast Guard PDQ. Ended up in Kodiak Alaska, what a temperature difference! Ordered U.S. Divers SCUBA gear on our cutter and did cold water diving up there. Life’s so full of rich blessings and twist, God had many other plans for me. I loved your ending to this video….and that River Of Life is exactly what I am looking for today. Thanks for sharing your special springs adventures and letting an old man live vicariously through you. May God keep you safe in your endeavors. Larry Ray

@@missionexploreofficial wow thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KayakDIY]

Great vid. I live in the SWFL area. Love exploring these springs.

[@JoeOceanside]

Thanks! Which springs do you think are the best?

[@KayakDIY]

Joe Oceanside I loved the northern Florida Mariana area. Cypress Springs & Merritt Mill Pond with Jackson Blue Cave are close to there. I heard the Chaz is really beautiful. Also have close friends who have done Ecofina. Chaz I think has several little underwater caves to swim through.

Beautiful tour of this incredible spring. One we haven't hit yet but on our list to visit and film. One of the best parts of living in Florida is how many beautiful places we have here to get into nature and explore!

[@JoeOceanside]

Yeah Florida has alot of cool things to do. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching. Your channel looks good btw, check out my friends channel @CampTravelExplore Looks like you have similar content. kzbin.info/door/YruhHbxDhirWwrsltT5cBQ

[@Adventureswithbecky]

@@JoeOceanside thank you. Yes we both follow eachother already😊 Camp Travel Explore is one of my favorites. They are how I found you.

[@dilfioderas8084]

Love watching your videos

[@bradspicks]

Ditto Joe Kiddo! ..... i enjoyed the last two afternoons submerging in the beautiful Weeki Wachee and just breathtaking }}}

[@JoeOceanside]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brannonevans3685]

Simply beautiful

[@ScottTaylorRealtor]

Haven’t seen this spring yet but now looking forward to it after seeing this. Great videos, subbed! I liked the biblical quote at the end too.

[@dilfioderas8084]

Thats so beautiful🥰

[@WetGills]

Thank you for sharing that analogy at 3:32 😎Agape!

[@michael02745]

Great Video! Joe, you should do more videos of FL springs. Wekiva, Blue Springs, Alexander, Silver Glen, etc...

[@JoeOceanside]

Thanks! Yeah I would love too, when things start opening up again I will head back to central florida for some springs

[@scrappinfairyof3]

I'm loving these videos of all these spots that I've swam in since I was a kid. Just subscribed

[@JoeOceanside]

Awesome, glad you enjoy!

[@calebburdette6642]

Wish i had people who are down to go with so i was not alone for the alligators lol this looks amazing. Love the water clarity is wow. Im going next week i cant wait

[@keenanb6156]

Moving here with family this summer and wanting to get into diving and snorkeling. I'll have to give this a shot! Great vid with a beautiful ending man!

[@JoeOceanside]

Thank you glad you enjoyed! I think Weeki Wachee state park is indefinitely closed, so your next best bet is to rent kayaks or SUP near Rogers park at Weeki Wachee gardens and paddle up river

[@lambod9359]

That looks so good I have snorkelled in river but the vawe was so strong and I almost drown

[@JoeOceanside]

This one of my favorite places!

[@claudechopin6738]

Awesome video!

[@JoeOceanside]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

[@CampTravelExplore]

This video is well done! Congrats! Just Subscribed, watching a few of your episodes now!

[@JoeOceanside]

Wow thanks! I hope you enjoy!

[@aliemirtopuz6109]

Dude, water is so clear that it looks like there is no water. Quality video, enjoyed watching.

[@JoeOceanside]

Yeah it's the clearest water I have ever been in. Not as much fish as in the ocean but it's still great to see.

[@hespera66]

Beautiful! Visiting soon! Is anyone allowed to cross the safety line and swim in the the of the river like you did?

[@JoeOceanside]

I do not know, when I was there it was winter and no lifeguards were around. No one was there to tell me to stop so I did it. Probably not allowed to though. Thanks for watching

[@KBFWA]

Which frame rate and resolution did you shoot most of the underwater shots?

[@JoeOceanside]

The underwater clips were mostly 2.7k 120fps. The fps allows me to slow down speed to 25% when I render the final video in 30fps. The 2.7k allows me to zoom in a bit without losing HD quality. Thanks for watching!

[@laurahubbs1079]

Hi! Just found your video, absolutely love it! May I ask when you visited? My family is planning a trip the end of December

[@JoeOceanside]

This was last winter, I think it is closed now from covid. The weeki wachee river is great though! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPEfHV8iqhliZo

[@honeybee-to3kv]

Are there any gators in the river?

[@JoeOceanside]

I have not seen any but I am sure they are in there. Most fresh water bodies in Florida have Gators. Thanks for watching

[@masterofnone76]

What mask and snorkel are you using

[@JoeOceanside]

in this video I used a Tusa HD freedom mask amzn.to/388ZMzk and the snorkel is a free snorkel I received from Discovery Cove along time ago

[@Sick_of_Coffee]

I live in hernando lol

[@JoeOceanside]

Nice, alot of cool spots around there

[@melblack7412]

Yay, you’re a Christian?

[@JoeOceanside]

Yes! I am. I was feeling inspired on this video, very fitting verse

[@melblack7412]

@@JoeOceanside Yeah, fitting. Enjoying the channel and was happy to hear you're also a Christian :)
