    I like your family’s collective motivation to go and do underwater adventures together. You folks are Truely blessed.
    I like how they built a new port walk with stairs for divers.
    Nice vegetation bed and seadragon.
    I’m glad you folks found some seadragon to film the first time in the water.
    Look how the seadragon just floats gracefully with tides and underwater currents.
    It felt like a short video for such a far ways to travel. I guess the water was too cold for the children.
    Thank you folks for sharing such experiences who would never even know what it’s like underwater , especially how you feel peaceful joyful. 💚💙

    That was so soothing to watch. What a curious way to live a life, just hanging out in the sea gardens and getting tossed around by the waves. And how do they grow those weird pseudo-leaves? They're just amazing.

    I love Leafy Sea Dragons, they're so majestic though I'm a little more partial to the Weedy Sea Dragon because it was the first one I saw and I love their colors...amazing creatures.

    I would've really liked to hear more about their lives. How/what do they eat ? Their breeding cycle, so on

    • @pumpkinhills7611
      @pumpkinhills7611 Год назад

      They eat tiny crustaceans like shrimp and larval fish through their mouth like a straw as they actually suck the prey in. They're ambush predators and tend to be difficult to spot most of the time as they even mimic the movement of the kelp.

    8:08 That’s a cool shot right there
    9:07 That’s adorable 🤣🤣🤣
    9:21 20 years? Omg
    Wow, I love these things. Especially with the conditions, you did AMAZING with the shots! I kinda feel bad for Elise and Liam cause they had to be cold, but I’m pretty sure they enjoyed it! Also, the poor seahorses are probably trying so hard to stay camouflaged, like you said.
    Oh and guess what? ITS OFFICIAL IM GETTING YOUR MERCH FOR CHRISTMAS WOOOOOHOOOOOO I’m literally so excited 💙💙💙💙💙💙

    Oh boy! You have no idea how happy this made me! Sea Horses/Dragons were my very first loves of sea critters. Back when I was still a teen. I have them all over my room! I even have a sea horse roach clip lol. I don't use that; it's handmade and beautiful. My fam has bought me sea horse things too. I even have a Littlest Pet Shop Sea Horse. Along side a Giraffe which I am also crazy about. Have become more of an animal lover since I've grown older and unable to work after 30yrs of physical labor. And children. So I'm tickled to see your whole lovely fam out there! My granddaughter went to a scuba birthday party once. I was so excited for her I even subbed her to Scuba Mag. She didn't pursue it tho.😓 I made sure my daughter had swimming lessons at age 4 and she did the same with her 3 but none have been interested in going further. My granddaughter is an NHS member with an outstanding grade point and plays violin. She has huge scholarships available and I had hoped for some kind of animal or human biology but she's chosen to stay here and go for child psychology. Guess that's a good thing too. One grandson is in engineering..biomedical..so good as well. Wish I had or my daughter, gone into animal science but we both had families young and had to focus on that. Boy I'm just babbling away! Sorry mate! Lol. Love you guys! Hope you are still doing this. I'm just trying to catch all the stuff youtube is now sending me. Late. No surprise.🙏💙🐡🐉 Closest thing to a sea dragon in my emojis. What a shame.

    Please reply if you’ll consider this. Thank you so much for showing us the Blue World.
    Here’s what the diving suit looks like: a two piece suit (shirt and trousers) and a head mask that looks like a gas mask with two jointed snorkels that are kept above the water by a bell 🔔 shaped float that is airtight with holes on the sides for the tubes to breath from.
    To make it, you’ll need: leather or any waterproof fabric, glass lenses for the eyes, springs to stop the tube joints from collapsing under pressure, pool noodle foam or cork for the float, and bamboo or plastic tubing for snorkels.
    To use this you can take an air hose, insert it into one of the holes and leave the other open to let the extra air and exhalation flow out. And you can add a mouth piece or regulator that will allow the diver to take healthy breaths without causing discomfort.

    I think this video would've better if there was an equal of amount of underwater footage with Christine scuba diving, in drysuit while searching Leafy Seadragons, as there was with you, Jonathan. I see how the Leafy Seadragons bleeds in the seagrass. How long were your kids able to scuba dive in the cold water? Watching Elise scuba diving while looking for Leafy Seadragons is my favorite part of this video.
