Blue Grotto in Florida! (We get to dive the secret cave!)
Ойын-сауық
Jonathan and Cameraman Zach explore Blue Grotto, one of the most popular dive training sites in Florida, as well as home to a hidden, secret cave dive! We get to meet Virgil the turtle, go in the diving bell and even meet an underwater superhero.
WARNING! Cave Diving is extremely dangerous and should only be undertaken by divers with the proper equipment and training. This video is for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered “instructional” in any way. The dive team that produced this video is fully cave certified with years of experience.

I like all of your videos for their explicit and clear narration. Even a native foreigner like me can understand 99% of it. High quality channel and videos. 😎

So I do. Like an English lesson.
Jonathan, thanks so much. After watching this video earlier this year I planned a trip there and went in Nov. Had a great time and met Virgil......until all the student muddied up the water. The first dive was crystal clear with 72 degree water. After that it was only nice at 60ft and below where they aren't on subsequent dives. Other than the murkey 2nd and 3rd dive it was a great trip and I would recommend it to anyone. Just get there and get in before the crowd! Cheers
I’ve been watching for years! I’m 13 now and have been enjoying your content for about 3-4 years, keep it up guys

BlueWorldTV I remember in 4th grade begging my teacher to show your videos in class, we spent the day watching your video on the beluga whale, I think his name was Sully
The action figure is a space marine in ATAX A.T.A.X. (Alien Tactical Advantage Explorer) gear from an action figure series based on the Aliens movie franchise.

I spent so long looking for a picture or video of a well pipe sticking into a Florida aquifer cave and I finally found it! Thank you so much. It's exactly as unsettling as I expected.
Awesome......!!!
Ahahha... So... You guys going into the dark cave that fulllll of water, to meet the bathup and action figure? Sooo cool🙌🙌🙌

That’s the same way I whanted to scuba dive
We dove the Blue Grotto on Feb 11, 1979. Tom McQuarie (sp) and his wife helped us there (as owners, custodians, or such). We were treated well -- no gouging or rip-offs. Very friendly atmosphere and nice air fills after dive... We were "Cavern" certified. Powerful lights needed to thoroughly enjoy. The air bell was there at 35' according to my log. It was very helpful in discussing with my buddy what to do next and take a short break from the regulator... Huge room inside with lots of fish, but I don't remember a friendly turtle (probably hadn't been born yet). Our maximum depth was 100' with an average depth of 55'. Visibility was 100' +. We were the first in that day, so visibility and conditions were excellent.... Great place to dive!
OMG THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE SOMETHING AMAZING!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Absolutely beautiful as always thanks Jonathan. I've never dove before but watching your videos makes me feel like I have :-)

Hi love it
Have dove this cavern a number of times. I think its best feature is that not only does it have the incredibly clear water but it has the volume of area to really get a feel of just how clear it is. You can get that feeling of being in space! Thanks for the great Video.
Wow So cool you can breath in the inside it so cool😁😁
That is absolutely fantastic!!! Would love to go there
That's where I got certified!
Love this!

Going here tomorrow for last open water dives. Can't wait to meet the turtle. Meet one at Lake Denton on first five.
hey man! I found this channel fairly recently as I've been looking at starting diving and I have to say, I absolutely love your videos. They're amazing, inspirational & entertaining videos and I'm literally watching every single one. I will remain a viewer until you hit that 1m subscriber mark (which you will) and I will keep watching for long after that too. As you said in this vlog; your productions are of a higher quality than any other videos on youtube! So yeah, thank you for inspiring me to finally take the jump and start learning about diving and getting into it. ps. I know people want more content however it's better to upload less videos that are of your quality than it is too post lots of okay-quality vids. Keep up the unbelievable videos man!

Loving the shortened intro, much faster to get right into the action. Great episode as always Birdman!

Sorry For being late from your amazing video!💕
This was my 2nd open water certification dive way back in 1999!
Yo your video si so cool
Mr.Bird next time your in florida I would love to go diving with you and your crew. I'm near the ocala area. Blue grotto is one of my favorite dive locations. That beautiful deep blue color you see when you come back up from 100ft.
Exactly a week ago I was at Blue Grotto doing my Drysuit course with Kevin! Awesome!
5:37 look at that cool ludwigia (plant)! This looks like an awesome training spot! Jonathan you need to go cave diving at vortex springs! Multiple restrictions, tons of caverns, and the deepest point is over 300’!
Have been waiting for dayssssss! Love your Videos Jonathan, hope you can get to 1Milion subs soon. Me and my friends really like watching your videos, bringing us to your world, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
