    I'm surprised you didn't find any Leopard Sharks during your dive. They're only found along the west coast of NA, and kelp forests are their natural habitats.

      I am not sure about the habitat. I do a lot of surf fishing and 95% of leopard sharks I caught were from sandy bottom, where kelp cannot grow. When I fish rocky/kelp-y area, the fish I caught are mostly the fish you can see in this video.

    Thanks for doing such a video emphasis.
    Wow why good find! As torpedo ray?
    Nice music touch to give that encounter moment seem suspenseful.
    Yes I’m so glad you mentioned how the torpedo ray swam in regards to design.
    Catalina islands looks fun. I’m glad there no fishing around that area. Giving the fish a better range of feel and famillerization.
    In the mood for some kelp salad?

I wish we could unite the governments of the world and ask them to stop spending money on weapons and start spending money on saving the planet. It makes me sad that no one seems to care about the ocean.

    Awesome video Jonathan! I really love this video a lot because it’s right by where I live locally and it’s a really excellent episode about kelp forests!! how was being in Avalon, Catalina Island? How was your experience in the town of Avalon and even just diving there?
    Also, I didn’t even know of a dive park there until I watched this episode all those years ago. Now every summer I go here to snorkel and dive. It’s like the tradition or the thing my family does. Last time I was there, I saw a pod of Dalls Porpoises 🐬 surfacing right off the Avalon harbor.
    Catalina is truly a wonder. It’s an hour from home. I’ve dove the dive park, kayaked..even went parasailing. I love how well kept it is and it’s unique to its kind. I’m going back on the 29th of October to help my dad out for his race. I’m really happy they opened their historic casino theater back up to watch movies. How many times have you been to Catalina? And lol did you end up getting their Antonio’s Pizza 🍕?? The garlic and pepperoni pizza is the bomb…I get it on porpoise every time, it’s so good.

    • @BlueWorldTV

    I bet that ray could taze you if it catched ur arm. Its a very interestin creature. Did you escape unharmed and why is that torpedo ray so aggressive towards diver? I mean you touched her booty so she wanted to taze you hahaha but thats not common on sea animals to like really attack. Its fascinating how every single organism has its caracteristicsand a way of behaving. It is inspiring and beutyful. Thanks for bringing the joy and the inspiration we need to keep gooing on following on our dreams... THANX CREW !!!!!
