    Wow you could see the Universe down there with no light pollution!

      Nothing like it!

      I used to live in Costa Rica down by the Panamanian border in a little beach town called Pavones. My buddies had a house way out in a pasture and I remember walking through it at night and being in awe of the stars during the dry season. They were amazing when I was in the Dry Tortugas too when it was clear.
      Now I'm by the Chesapeake Bay and there's lots of lights but not from the stars. I noticed the lights around the Bay earlier this evening from a pier. It's not as pretty as the stars in a clear place, but it's cool.

      It's a shame we've killed our contact with the most soul centering thing there possibly could be. The light pollution is inevitable to some degree unless you are 100+miles offshore. Truly an amazing thing to experience.

    That dog snapper was so big I thought it was a cubera for a second. Beautiful fish. And the pictures of the stars over Fort Jefferson and the sky were gorgeous too. Nice hogfish too!

    Awesome 3-day adventure to include the entire package. The experience and catch were epic, camping was the real deal, and the at-home" broth" and culinary experience with fish heads/rack was simply amazing. I subscribe to "Cooking with Clams as well. Will is as innovative as a chef can be! Between you and Will....the "catch and cook" is legendary. Thank you and the entire crew!

    You are quite the chef young man enjoy watching your videos I live in the keys for 55 years I wasn't smart like you I work for Sears warehouse in delivery. Also mosquito control, also an electrician in the early 80s love your videos glad the man that buys your fish got to do what he's doing my kids knew him when he was young man coming up. Be safe one of my friends sons died with a shallow water blackout off of little torch many years ago little Joey. Enjoy and thank you

It’s also amazing how much protein you recovered that would normally have been tossed overboard. I’ll bet those ribs were delectable all by themselves! I’ll see you next week.

  • @gcrauwels941

    Man, you’re crushing it. I haven’t gotten down to the Tortuga’s in several years, but that was a trip of a lifetime. I did learn that a red clip on lens filter for my GoPro mask helped the underwater color balance tremendously. Thanks for bringing us along! Fair winds buddy

  • @RocketRob99
    @RocketRob99 11 месяцев назад +1

    I'm a novice gopro snorkeler last trip to KW 2022 I had bought a set of lens filters. The set I got came with 6 filters, only a slight easy to find adjustments were needed. Now I used the polarizer and 1st water filer which throws a red tint at the surface but does a wonderful job at depth. However, there is a another filter in the set that I think would be better for your considering your dive depths.. Check it out, it was inexpensive. Loved the series by the way.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  11 месяцев назад +1

      I've messed with the filters a bit, never been a big fan of them. I like people to see it as I do.
