    Awesome video! Many people think one has to go to a faraway tropical destination to find beautiful and plentiful sea life. It's right here in our backyard. Thank you!

    Wow! Mesmerizingly beautiful footage! I had no idea there was this much sea life & water clarity in Laguna Beach.

    I watch a fair amount of videos from this area of southern Ca.This one held my attention from beginning to end. I guessed you had put in some serious time to put together so many great scenes. Still, even with over fifty hours of video, you clearly have a healthy environment to work with. I don't think I've ever seen such large schools of fish in your area, and the species diversity is amazing! I hope to get out to your area in the next year or two, and this video gave me some extra incentives to do so!

    Wonderful video! I've compiled a couple Laguna Beach videos over about the same amount of hours, but it's not nearly as good as this. I still haven't run into any guitarfish or barracudas. The salemas have been plentiful in schools, which is always a kick to see.

    Thanks 😊

    • @MrRJCtube
      @MrRJCtube  3 года назад

      I use the same mask I use for SCUBA, an Atomic Aquatics Frameless Mask, but any type of mask that fits your face well without leaking is all you need.

    • @MrRJCtube
      @MrRJCtube  3 года назад +9

      Part of the key to the footage was significant time in the water. Over the last few months, we had close to 50 hours of water time. My wife was also filming, so some of the footage was hers. We weren’t on SCUBA, which made it easier to get close to a lot of subjects. Laguna Beach is pretty amazing and we’ve had some incredible snorkeling, but keep in mind the video is a compilation of about 50 hours in the water edited into under 8 minutes :)

      I do not, plus I'm not very skilled compared to good freedivers. If I can dive down to 15-20' and stay down for anywhere close to 45 seconds or a minute that's good for me :)
