Who would have ever thought such a violent time in history could result in such beauty? Awesome Jonathan.

[@dan-k5083]

that sidemount diver has his buoyancy right. so satisfying to watch someone be perfectly neutrally buoyant underwater

[@missionje9540]

This is most adventures...than other wreck diving videos.....love you blue world team

This proves that no matter how hard we fought each others nation, Nature will always win and will always take its part when time comes.

when i was stationed on Guam I dove Yap, Truk, and Palau a number of times. Great diving

[@charliegreer4507]

Dude I remember watching these videos back when I was in like 2nd grade. I see they have still kept up in quality! Thank you so much for making these videos! I gotta get back into this stuff, it’s so cool! You are honestly one of the nicest souls out there!

You need to bring back the old intro! “I’m Jonathan Bird... And welcome to my world!!” Me and my girlfriend always say it when we watch your videos.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Do you know how many comments I got "It's not your world!!!!" LOL

Goood sir Jonathan

[@Dayzhuh]

I’m from Palau and it’s sad to say that I’ve never really gone diving to see any of the big wrecks, aside from a little swimming over the one plane wreck. So this was amazing to watch! Thank you

[@BlueWorldTV]

Sounds like you need a scuba certification!

[@Dayzhuh]

@@BlueWorldTV I do! My anxiety could never tho 😭

[@Blazing19721]

All I can say right now is wow... That truly is a magnificent dive experience. For such an old wreck and so much growth, it looks amazingly beautiful. Thank you Jonathan and your Blue World family.

[@gabesuniverse5566]

It was amazing

[@tom-erikthomassen8746]

I just love all that is un-explored in this world. and when it comes to under-water world, it is just So amazing! -and the colours:) and piecefullness:) Ahh.

Beautiful scenery and wrecks as always. Thanks for sharing Jonathan!

[@thisisoj9113]

I love watching these type of videos because they remind me of pre COVID 19 when we could go to these beautiful tropical places

[@phondo2]

Beautiful. Thanks for posting! I am so glad the coral took over and helps fish and others hide and rest! The coral is gorgeous!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for inspiring our children (2,4, and 5) to explore under the ocean! You inspired my daughter to take a trip to snorkel in Hawaii this year! She loved it! You rock Jonathan!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Great to hear!!!

[@sandrasignorelli5960]

I've always loved marine biology and diving. I never became a diver but that doesn't stop me from loving it. Jonathan you get to do neat things that many of us could only dream of doing. I get to live vicariously through you. Thank you for your channel and the great posts. 😁

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for watching!!

[@pricediver]

This is one of the best channels on KZbin hands down. Not only it inspired me to become a scuba diver, but also every episode has GREAT content!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks!!!

[@craziestcool2877]

History is truly beauty! Love it John!

[@Tom-mu7zy]

The first time I saw Palau from the air there was an optical illusion of a boat suspended thirty feet above the water's surface. It took my brain a few seconds to figure it out. The boat was on the water but the water was so clear that the turqoise bottom thirty feet below looked like the surface of water. That was 28 years ago diving with Sam's Tours. The memory of a life time.

[@BlueWorldTV]

I've seen that effect myself a few times and it always blows my mind. When I see that, all I can think is "get me in that clear water ASAP!!!!"

[@ryanplaysmarinelifeandmore8708]

You should do some more of these series’s because I love it when I can get surprised for what to come next

[@eliturner472]

I've only been diving in a few places in Florida. I wish I could go around the world like this.

Always beautiful footage and amazing dives! Once again, I can't wait till my next dive. Until then, I'll enjoy more of yours! Thank you!

[@LeonardoGonzalezPhoto]

This video left me speechless. The underwater world you’ve captured feels like pure magic - it's as if I'm diving right alongside you. Thank you for sharing these incredible moments, it's like a window into a hidden universe. Subscribed instantly, and I can't wait to see more!"

[@BlueWorldTV]

Wow, thank you!

[@juliakwiatkowski647]

That first wreck almost looks like it could be haunted or from something out of a horror movie! So cool.

[@doc-nobody-glider]

Great video! Although I have never done wreck diving to such an extend, the deepest I have been was 38 m, I am overwhelmed by these video sequencies. Being a pilot I like your videos about planes the most, but I also appreciate your valuable explanations concerning nature and its conditions.

[@treystephens6166]

I wish I could be a pilot but I’m too dumb.

[@ElizabethSwims]

That was an amazing video

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Darn! This is art! Watching this is better than Mozart and Shakespeare. Disaster and Hope in all dimension. The tiny fish hiding in Ww2 wrecks to avoid predators. Final resting places. People who are friends going wohoo!! Exploring things like a child. Researching like professional scientists. Breathtaking. Huge thanks!

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for watching and for finding all that stuff in our video!

one of my friends told me about this place a year ago. I really want to dive there and it looks so cool! I just need to get my wreck diving license

[@The_Slayer666]

Wow. That is an absolutely beautiful View! I personally wouldn’t be brave enough to dive into the deep dark to witness a shipwreck but kudos to you for being brave enough and providing us with some beautiful footage

[@mortem_ad_astra1926]

Good vid Johnathan. From the very beginning of Blue World TV you seemed a little more like you weren't as Happy and Excited. Now in these Newer seasons you seem to be enjoying every minute of your time Diving. I love these vids, do not quit!!

[@BlueWorldTV]

I think in season 1 I was very serious and by season 2, Cameraman Tim made me relax and be more "excited" but I always felt like I was trying too hard. Now we're in season 7 and I just act like myself which is about halfway in between season 1 and season 2. LOL

[@markfortin421]

Hi Jonathon. Another absolutely stunning video....the underwater photography is beautiful to say the least! I 💘 Love the way you inter-twine the marine life with the wrecks, and show all that has come to pass over the years. I find it amazing that these evil machines of war have, in the end, benefitted the oceans as a spawning habitat for both plants and animals. 👏 BRAVO to you and your team for a job very well done....✌😊

[@BlueWorldTV]

Thanks for watching and for the comments!

[@dbsktvxq9]

Your video content cures my longing for diving during this pandemic. I miss diving so much!!

[@jeffrains9569]

We were supposed to go dive there when I was over there in 1980. Unfortunately, Continental Air Micronesia ended that dream on the island of Yap. The pilot touched down 13 feet short of the runway, totaled a newer 727. I am so jealous of those of you who have gotten to dive there. All of you, please be careful and keep putting out these wonderful videos!

[@sharethelove5034]

Beautiful but a sad history as well.

[@premierhoner614]

WOW amazing... Thank you for posting this videos.........

You work is incredible, but your statement at the beginning of this, the bloodiest battle in the Pacific during WWll ? I live in Saipan, it truly was the bloodiest of all. I just returned from Palau, you captured some great footage

your dad jokes breathe life into me xD

[@BlueWorldTV]

Fish Hangar??? ;-)

[@LiboltAdventures]

What an awesome dive and great video.

[@David-bc4rh]

My goodness! That bow shot at 7:17. I need the whole shot at normal speed with sweet piano music. Also, Jonathan's voice inflection on the dubbing is different and I like it.

[@BlueWorldTV]

Would you say it's more mellow??? Maybe I was just feeling chill the day I did the narration. The bow shot was actually done with a GoPro in time lapse mode, so there is no normal speed version, sorry!! Zach was playing with the GoPro time lapse feature.

[@aidboy6946]

I would love to be able to dive ships! At 13 I have an incredible dedication to sunken ships, so I genuinely like studying them. Therefor, I feel like I would love to dive shipwrecks like this video! Great work btw :)

[@kevinanderson2575]

My dad was in the first Marine division and fought on that island, I have pictures he took of bloody nose ridge ,and a block house that he took out with his fellow Marines. Brutal fighting !!!

[@nikolademitri731]

Watching these things rust, and break down, and be completely overcome by nature, it’s hard not to be humbled with the realization that everything we’ve ever built and ever will build will eventually, one way or another, be broken down and subsumed into this ever changing and evolving planet and universe. I don’t even mean that to sound negative or depressing, it’s not imo. It just is, and there’s no escaping it, and that’s okay, and it should make us value and respect the incredible beauty of it all, and make us grateful to be a part of it.
