Diving Into Darkness (What is Black Water Diving?)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2021
- Blackwater Scuba Diving in West Palm Beach, Florida is all about discovering the tiny almost microscopic sea life that seeks refuge in the deep during the daytime but migrates up at night to feed.
This includes larva and juvenile stages of a lot of the reef fish, other species like jellyfish, and deep-sea or pelagic water creatures that spend their entire life in the open water.
In this video, we embark on a blackwater dive with Pura Vida Divers in Riveria Beach, Florida, and discuss the logistics of blackwater diving while looking for tiny sea creatures.

This is my new favourite seahorse!! Epic dude
Thanks! He is definitely one of our favorites so far!
That was an incredible dive! Thanks for sharing it Jeff!
Stuart
Thanks! Blackwater Diving is really cool.
This is amazing! You should definitely have more recognition for your work.
Thank you! We certainly appreciate your kind words. We love diving and enjoy creating our videos so others can explore the world underwater with us.
Great intro to black water diving. I hope you develop this dive for the future business. Your calm, clear voice is perfect for tutorials. Good luck in the future.
Thank you. Black water diving is a very cool type of dive, and its great to start to see it becoming more accessible and popular. Thanks for watching and commenting, we also hope this video helps future business.
All the best,
Jeff
Beautiful Work! I'm doing this dive in January!! Cant Wait!!
You’ll love this dive! It’s absolutely incredible!
Happened to see an article on black water diving and decided to look here for some videos. Found yours and I have to say not only is this super cool, the combination of your music and the beauty of the dive is more relaxing than most meditations I e tried! Thank you for sharing this. Absolutely wonderful! I e always been terrified of water at night but this definitely opened up a whole new world. Very, very AMAZING 😍
Wow! Thank you. We’re thrilled to hear you found our video both super cool and relaxing. Blackwater diving is certainly equal parts a little unsettling, especially when just getting in the water, and relaxing. Because once you’re under the water, it’s so peaceful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
So amazing Jeff! You are brave!!!
Thanks. Just out there having fun. 😀
Have you heard of anyone spotting a blanket octopus doing this kind of dive? Ever since I saw one during broad daylight I’ve been itching to see another as I’ve heard it’s one of the rarest creatures to see while diving SoFlo. Only ever seen one and it was on a dive site I’ve spent hundreds maybe even thousands of hours diving. Thanks for the content and info!
Wow. A blanket octopus would be incredible to see. Unfortunately, we've never seen one, not even while black water diving.
Maybe you'll get another chance encounter again someday. That's one thing we enjoy so much about diving. The more time you spend in the water, the more opportunities you have to find something rare.
All the best, and sorry for the late reply. We had to take a break from the channel.
Jeff
Great overall review of the dive.
Thank you! It was tons of fun and I'm looking forward to doing it again some day soon. -- Jeff
Very cool dive. Not sure I am brave enough yet for black water diving, but the sea life looks amazing!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I was excited to see the sea life Jeff got on film - the comb jellies and the seahorse are my favorites! - - Sara
We do night dives here in Monterey. A bit of bioluminescence but the best is that’s when the octopus come out. And it’s an epic shore dive
Very cool. We’re hoping to make it out to Monterey this summer. Not sure on timing yet, but a night shore dive sounds like a ton of fun. 👍
Loved this and so wanted to try this. Thought it was another black water dive with new thumbnail 😂
Just a new thumbnail for the black water journey 😀
We were impressed by how far Jeff traveled during the dive - 5.2 miles! That seahorse is my favorite! - - Sara
Pretty exciting and a bit scary dive to say the least hehe. Your buoyancy control in the water is paramount at this point. Great shot of the pigmy sea horse! What lens did you use for that?
It was an exciting dive for sure! I was using an Olympus 60mm lens on our Panasonic GH5s and a couple GoPros.
love the dive . wonder what a black light would pickup or a fluorodive kit
Thank you! Great question. We'll have to bring a fluorodive kit and find out next time.
Wow! That is impressive! Considering you are swimming where things could come up and go bite in the night !
You should have a series on the discovery or history Channel
Thank you! This was such an amazing dive. Felt like floating in space. We’d feel honored If Discovery or the History channel ever reached out, and would certainly jump at the opportunity. 👍😀
Thanks again for watching.
Thank you! This was a great experience we had to do at least once.
Couldn't tell how fast we were moving while underwater. The diversity of tiny sea life was amazing!
Hi Jeff you should really be on TV I just watched it again on my phone spectacular ! And if it was on TV it would be something else again it is something the public never gets to see
Years ago I did a dive out of fort Lauderdale I took pictures of turtles and all kinds of fish I have no idea of what they are you describe everything in such detail once again very well done!
If I was on that dive I would have a line on the buoy the whole way
Love black water drift dive in SoFL
We agree! This was an awesome dive!
I have seen things in black water I do not know that they are
Sign. Me. Up!
This dive looks amazing.
It's an incredible dive! Thanks for watching.
@@TritonsRealm I’ve been subscribed for a week or so now and love your videos: nothing fancy, no nonsense, interesting dives. Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!
@@RichWilx Wow. Appreciate the kind words. We've got more on the way. Thanks for subscribing.
Cool, doing the dive next weekend. Do you have tips for strobe positions for photos during the dive
Great question and sorry for the delayed response, we were diving Socorro in Mexico and just returned from our trip. I hope you had an incredible dive. This was our first real attempt at Black Water video/photography. So we're not experts in this area, but find that positioning the lights inline with the lens and down a little created the best results. Somewhere around the 8:00 and 4:00 positions on a clock. Thanks for watching and commenting. -- Jeff
Thanks, we had a great dive and I managed to get some good shots. We were lucky enough to have the author of the Blackwater book on the boat and she gave us some great tips.
Just watched shark week on TV
Would you do this same dive off cape Town with breaching great whites ?
With your Garmin iridium if you drifted off you could tex the boat
You could also take along a waterproof vhf with built in GPS in a hard case and call then up the advantage of the iridium is the size and if you hit the panic button you have satellite tracking (and deal with the aftermath later main idea get out of the water)
I noticed in ove of your videos you have a online store do you have the link and do you ship to Canada?
Have a great day !
The dive off Cape Town with Great Whites would be exciting, and we'd certainly be up for it. Maybe one day we'll have the opportunity.
Below is a link to our online store. In addition to our videos, we design shirts that are inspired by different dive sites or destinations. We do ship to Canada, but it's a few extra $$.

Thanks again for watching and for all your support. We certainly appreciate it.
What camera and strobes did you use for video and pics
On this dive I used our primary camera setup which is a Panasonic GH5s with 2 Keldan 8x lights. Thanks for watching.
My buddies ans and I do a drift dive locally called the Iron man in the Sarina river we swim out into lake huron decend hen cross over in to th 9 knot current and drift a mile and a half down the Sarina river
We wear duals sometimes hang an 80 or 2 for pony bottles
Going by point Edward there is a 12 ft high water intake extending 1000 feet out in the river flush with the bottom and a ditch 12 ft deepand 50 ft across on the other with the water swirling around
One of my buddies Albert got sucked into the vortex and was stuck in there for half an hour eventually it spit him out the end
Anybody else would be gone
Now when we do the superman as a group Albert is going down the river just a little higher tan every body
It is average 55ft deep in the river with the current if you get disoriented or other emergence situation you don't go up you go down then take a compass course for canada
👍
Albert is a gas line diver
We go to the Sarina river to test new equipment or to play.!
At the time Albert had dual 80s and was hanging two 80s he had 4 sets of regulators
The rest of us were long gone when Albert made it to shore he had 20 minutes of air left
He had a cpressor and cascade in his garage andmade his own nitro and tri mix wen he sold his house we moved it all over to my place
Between us at the time we had 27 singles and 12 sets of duals
FIRST!!
Thanks! You Rock!
This is terrifying😂
Terrifying, but fun. 😀 Thanks for watching.
@@TritonsRealm I don’t think I would be brave enough to do this, thank you for doing it for me to watch.
@@gavingoodwin3785 You’re welcome. 👍🤪
The balls this man has… Jesus Christ
Big clumsy fingers sent the last comment twice
It happens! It was worth reading again - very descriptive!

That's quite a dive! Glad your friend made it out of the vortex.
