I knew a young man who went by himself on a small boat out to an oil rig near the Channel Islands to fish I think. His boat somehow flipped over. He had no radio, etc to call for help. He was able to get the boat turned back upright, and live to tell the tale.
Man, triple thumbs up!!! Super rich habbie there. Sure wish I could get out there. I think you misspoke regarding the "black rockfish" ...those were blue. The flag was awesome! And maybe equally as awesome was what I think may have been a Bocaccio @4:59. Love the narration and look forward to more
Ya, I need to work on my Fish id. I've committed to running future videos passed my fish friends. I wish youtube would allow me to add notes in the vidoes to correct things like this.
Is this still available for diving? And how far down did u have to swim to see some sea life? I’m just a free diver and I’m not that good either lol…but it looks super cool down there
Yes, you can still dive here....You're asking how far down....well you can see stuff all along the supports. You'd have to catch a boat ride out there.
Awesome video dude. Love all the wildlife in it. Great job using a light because that helps give the color its natural state. Hate seeing all blue in a dive video. Great job again!
Yes and Its a treat every time. San Diego: I've seen 7 gill sharks, Horn Sharks, Leopard Sharks and Tope sharks, angle sharks. None are considered aggressive. Belize: Nurse Sharks and a black tipped reef shark. Reef sharks have bit people but its rare Catalina: I didn't see any sharks but we were at a camp, diving and relaxing. They had Kayaks you could use and these 2 guys paddled couple of miles offshore to a spot we'd dove the day before. One of them had a GWS come up and attack the Kayak. Left a couple of teeth imbedded in the plastic. Divers had been seeing a GWS at that spot for a while but it never bothered them. They don't seem to care much about divers. The attacks in San Diego that I've heard about were with Swimmers splashing on the surface (but still rare) and a young small framed lobster diver bobbing up and down going for lobsters. Its not something I worry about and I usually look forward to it. In Mexico I tried to dive with Hammerheads (no cage) but there weren't around the day we went.
That "yellow fish" was a senorita.
Thanks Oren! I knew someone had the answer.
Awesome dive. I used to work on Eureka..retired oil field welder...🐟🐠🐡🐙✌😁✌🇺🇸
Sweet, I wish I had a peek into what that world is like. I have no idea.
Those yellow fish are a type of wrasse or senorita fish
I believe those yellow fish are called señorita fish

OMG that's terrifying! I've started bringing an emergency transmitter with me when I dive in case I get separated from the boat.
Thanks for a look down below!
Hi can u reccomend me some dive operators for dive trips to these oil rigs? Thanks!
We dove off the Sundiver Express and had a great time but there's a few charters that do this dive.
Thanks for posting! Could you recommend some dive shop or charter who run oil rig dives?
We dove off the Sundiver Express and had a great time.
Great vid. How is your camera mounted ? Or hand held?
For this video I was using a gopro mounted to a tray, so I'm holding the tray with 2 hands.

Now I'm thinking that wasn't a Bocaccio. Looks like a forked tail. Anyone know what that was?

@@SDScuba I believe it was a Senorita, lots of them at the cove.

How did homeboy get that sheepshead?
He shot it with a speargun. The Sundiver express allows you to bring them on the boat.
yellow fish is a seniorita they're a type of small wrase
How far off shore?
About 8.5 miles from shore.
Senorita fish
Ahh ya, thanks! I really have to get back to this site soon. Its been too long!
Awesome video dude. Love all the wildlife in it. Great job using a light because that helps give the color its natural state. Hate seeing all blue in a dive video. Great job again!
Thanks, really appreciate it!
I am surprised that the company of the oil rig did not put up a fuss with divers hanging around the their billion dollar operation.
Ya, I'm really curious how that all works. Do they do it to be nice or because they have to or....?
Very good video. Looks like a blast. Next time I’m down I and scheduling that dive.
You should!
The yellow fish was a Rock Wrasse
Have you ever encountered any sharks while diving?
Yes and Its a treat every time.
San Diego: I've seen 7 gill sharks, Horn Sharks, Leopard Sharks and Tope sharks, angle sharks. None are considered aggressive.
Belize: Nurse Sharks and a black tipped reef shark. Reef sharks have bit people but its rare

@@SDScuba thanks for explaining this
They were blue rockfish in the video, blacks have a few white spots on the side and don't have the wavy pattern in their faces
Thanks! I'll add a note in the description.
