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.

    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

    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!

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!
