Yanchep Lagoon Snorkelling Tips

I made a mistake about Rips in video.
Please watch the Surf Life Saving Australia video about rips • How to Spot a Rip Current
Happy New Year everyone! Thankyou for joining me for another video.
In this video I wanted to give some safety tips for swimming at the Lagoon in Yanchep but I also want to take you snorkelling with me while I explore the reef.

Those shimmering lines are not rips, they are wind lanes. There is not enough surf/swell (at the time) to create any significant/dangerous rips.

[@intrepidworld]

Interesting. I must have misunderstood my teachers during vacation swimming at the beach. I always thought that was what they were pointing too when talking about different colourations in the water and was taught you couldn’t always necessarily see them so you had to feel what the water was doing around you as well. I'll make sure I mention this next time I do a video near the water.

[@Time2heal111]

Thank you. Awesome information 😊

[@stevewest1677]

Great Job

[@markofarking8431]

Thank you for the information. great video you put together

[@intrepidworld]

Thank you I'm glad you liked it.

[@surfing4theloveofit]

Great video, thanks for the insight to the reef, cheers 🍻 rick, Perth Australia.

[@intrepidworld]

Thank you. I look back at that video now and think it's a little cringe worthy but it was all part of my video learning progress. Thanks for watching it and for taking time to comment.

[@insight7483]

Thanks!!

[@intrepidworld]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching. That was one of my older videos I see so many ways I could have made it better so I appreciate the watch and the comment.

[@YanchepLocal]

very cool vid, great info

[@intrepidworld]

Thank you for that. I've been watching your videos with my other account, very cinematic keep up the great work.

[@sebfragomeni6082]

Hey great video! Have you ever seen any Port Jackson's while snorkeling out there?

[@intrepidworld]

No but I saw a Wobbegong shark there once which was pretty cool.

[@AKAWEAPON]

Nice video mate

[@intrepidworld]

Thanks for the support and the constant feedback, I really appreciate it thank you. Happy New Year mate.

[@zacfalach8092]

Nice video! Would just emphasize the fact it’s best not to walk on the reef for the coral at all and the back is a fair bit more dangerous than it looks there’s been a few deaths.. keep an eye out for the the local Ray Freddy and the odd tiger that cruises through

[@intrepidworld]

Yes I was just thinking that exact thing about standing on the reef while editing another video. I need to point that out in an upcoming video. I definitely need to stress that it should only be done in an emergency. Thanks for the comment and for watching my video.

[@aeroeagle8190]

Really good video!!! Great information about Yanchep, one question have you ever seen a shark while scuba diving or snorkeling if so what sort 🤩👍😂

[@intrepidworld]

Oops sorry for the late reply. Yes I have seen 1 shark down there before but it was a 1/2m wobbegong shark so all good. There have been reports of larger sharks in the area so it's always best to remember it's their home and we are just visitors. Not sure if you are a local or not so just as a little extra information for you, in our Perth coastal water there are Bull Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Tiger Sharks and Great Whites along with many other species. If you haven't already see my scuba diving videos off Rottnest please check them out for footage of a small male and large female Grey Nurse Shark. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

[@sintax9209]

I don't know if anyone would say that walking Dingoes wasn't an adventure. I like seeing the different things you get up to, it's like what will that Aussie be up to this week haha it's great keep up the good work.

[@intrepidworld]

Thank you, I really appreciate that comment

[@fabionguyen1454]

Hey Thanks for the video brother, have you spotted any tailor or salmon by any chances when you goes snorkelling

[@intrepidworld]

Not yet this year, there is a lot of Herring around though. Not to say they aren't there I've been down to the Lagoon 4 times and best visibility I had was about 4m off the back. I have also seen a fair amount of King George Whiting in the rock pool each time I have been.

[@perthadventurefamilies]

Great video man

[@intrepidworld]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment and for you taking time to watch it. I wish I had my camera settings right for when I was in the water. I think it was only set to 1080p haha. Only been doing this for a few months so those kind of things are bound to happen. I just released a Busselton Jetty dive if you're interested.

[@perthadventurefamilies]

Most definitely interested! Don't worry man I have only been at it a few months with proper editing myself so although I'm getting better it's all learning 😊

[@intrepidworld]

@@perthadventurefamilies One thing now, I need to try upgrading my internet. I filmed the Busselton dive in 4k but it took over 20hr to upload to KZbin and I don’t even think the 4k version finished before the video dropped so it looks like it might only be 2.7k, dramas of trying to do social media right.

[@perthadventurefamilies]

Adobe premier pro?

[@intrepidworld]

@@perthadventurefamilies yeah

[@samindachristian2004]

Hey man if Ur local to the area I'm new up here n would love a swim buddy. I'm the yanchep mermaid 🧜‍♀️

[@atwogun7751]

Are there any places to surf?

[@intrepidworld]

Just got back from a 5 day hike, I've seen people surfing at another reef about 400m further north of the lagoon.

[@tonyfrench2574]

he likes the sound of his own boice

[@intrepidworld]

Thanks for the feedback. So you would like more music less talking. I will do my best to work on that.

[@aus7666]

Hello! Can we still snorkel in low tide?

[@intrepidworld]

You can but I find if you are exploring the back of the reef it can get a bit murky in low tide. Best time to swim is when easterly are blowing. If the tide is low then try the northern end of the reef but that is outside the flags so just be careful. I'm actually uploading a video today where I went back to the lagoon and fixed up a mistake I made in this video.

[@aus7666]

thx

[@richarddevaottien7724]

Where's Yanchep ..China?

[@intrepidworld]

That's a good point I failed to mention which country. It's in Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@wadebruins4759]

A truely informative vid. Good job! Now get a speargun!

[@intrepidworld]

I already have one 😁

[@johndoe1778]

@@intrepidworld where would be best down there 😏?

[@SC-vw1nx]

Can you Spearfishing?

[@intrepidworld]

No not at the Lagoon. I tried it once because I missed the sign and got in trouble 😬

[@mamatuja]

If you swim sideways which side of your body is leading and which side is trailing?😂😂😂

[@intrepidworld]

hahahaha
