- Off the coast of Marathon, in the Florida Keys lies the most AMAZING reef for snorkeling and freediving. This is the absolute BEST video capturing the beauty of Sombrero Reef including a rare Elkhorn coral formation and teeming with fish that aren’t scared to swim right up to you, including sharks, grouper, snapper, hogfish, yellowtail, parrotfish and many other species. Today we encounter a massive nurse shark that allows us to swim within inches of it, a black grouper, many species of snapper and a variety of other fish. The natural coral reef preserve is filled with coral ranging from fan coral to brain coral to giant Elkhorn coral. The preserve is closed to fishing and spearfishing, so these fish know no fear. Sit back, relax and enjoy this natural beauty in 4K, set to relaxing music perfect for meditation or relaxation.
@unchartedflorida
Awesome colors! Thanks
Thank you, we really enjoy all the different color and activity on the reef, each time we go it’s a unique experience!
This my type of video! Love the viz, it is so clear! Also enjoyed how you captured so much marine life. Looks like you could just pet that nurse shark! Was that a black grouper at 15:07? Great video, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Kim and Jason! This was one of our favorites to film and edit! We’re pretty sure it’s a black grouper as well at the 15 minute mark. If you listen real careful you can hear him thump at us, which apparently they use as a territorial warning, and also to stun their prey. It amazing every time we dive that reef we see something different! We ended up getting a drone and are enjoying it, and got the insurance per your suggestion in your video, luckily haven’t needed it yet, but we haven’t gotten all that brave with it yet either 😄
@@unchartedflorida I will have to go back and watch that section with the grouper. Yes, I noticed the drone shots. Looks good! Once you practice more with it you will feel more confident flying it. I launch from my hand while on the boat now. Also, watch out for birds. I was flying it at Clearwater Beach one day and this crow was trying to go after it.
@@kimandjasoninflorida do you guys land the drone on deck or land back in your hand? good tip on the birds! They must be real confused on what that drone is flying with them!
@@unchartedflorida I land in my hand. I start to lower it and then it will sense it and go up slightly, I keep doing this and then pretty much snatch it out of the air and flip it upside down really quick and it turns off. If you have the space, you might be able to land on the deck.
