Why are you talking about Devils Den Florida and showing Yucatán Cenote in Mexico? The video of Blue Heron Bridge is in the open sea and Blue Grotto Florida the end video is Adriatic Sea in Croatia 😂
Couldn’t keep watching because of the text over the gorgeous video! You are doing a voice over, so there was no need for the text. Closed captioning could be done for those who need it.
Viewers should be aware that as of 2023 the coral reefs of Florida are largely destroyed as a function of coral bleaching events resulting from elevated water temperatures, pollution, and ocean acidification. This video shows a good deal of incredible corals from the Indo-pacific (clear on the opposite side off the planet from Florida) and very little from Florida. For example, Into-pacific coral reefs and species are seen at the following: 1:11, 3:17, :06 (Indonesian Spiny Lobsters / *Panulirus versicolor* --- they do not live in Florida or Caribbean waters), and 12:34. One should be aware that he/she will likely be very disappointed in visiting Florida and expecting to see corals of quality that in any way even remotely resemble what its shown in this video. Indeed, Florida coral reefs began deteriorating severely in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Suggest that people considering visiting Florida to see what is left of the coral reefs to see recent RUclips videos of John Pennekamp Coral reef State Park in the Florida Keys as well as other Florida Keys coral reef videos. In these you will see very few live stony corals and you will certainly see almost no healthy stands of the once prominent Elkhorn Corals (*Acrapora palmata*) and Staghorn Corals (*Acrapora cervicornis*) referred to in this video.
Thank you so much! Your comment will save so many people the frustration of trusting images like these to represent the reality of diving in Florida. I wish the makes of this video had been more honest.
My wife and I have been snorkeling and diving the reef systems of our great state from key Largo to the Dry Tortogas for over 25 years. However, I'm very sad to say that due to very bad management and over exploration of them, it has resulted in great and almost wanton deteriorating of this incredible system. My family and I no longer go to many reef sites anymore because of the destruction that has been allowed to happen in the name of tourism. We need to protect with a vengeance what is left and allow them to regenerate because in a very short time, there will be nothing left. This is not anything to do with climate change, just gross mismanagement and greed. I know I watched it happen. Please be a voice in Tallahassee.
The video claims PCB is one of the best dive sites in Florida, then shows a bunch of scenes (including a mountainous city with skyscrapers) that arent PCB. LOL

Love being a Floridian! ❤
the rocky coast and boat pictured at the 11:30 time in the video have nothing to do with blue grotto in williston, fl (an inland freshwater dive site)
Its Blue Cave on island of Biševo in Croatia in EU😂

Underwater sculptures at 14:00 were all made by ReefCells for 1000 Mermaids.

Great video

Half the images you used are not from Florida but from Mexico

Do not trust this video. The footage does not match the locations they are discussing.
