Mermaids and Manatees with ScubaExtreme

I was just reviewing some of my videos and came across this one, [xr_video id=”c82ab39ed42f48d7abd0540998b0ebd7″ size=”md”] Manatees are such beautiful creatures. Look at the interaction the little one gave and love to have. Rolling over to have its belly rubbed. You can sense the feelings and emotions they have and the experience of being in the water and having one appoach ‘you’ for interaction is unforgettable. Once you do this you are connected for life and got to love them. The season for manatee interaction is approching fast and January will be here before you know it.

Cozumel September 2011

In September 2011, a team of divers visited Cozumel Mexico. Our goal was many fold. We all arrived Saturday the 3rd except for one diver who arrives Sept. 1st and departed on the 5th, while the remaining departed Sept 10, 2011. Our first full day was dedidcated to vsiting and hopefully getting into the water wih Whale Sharks. Our Second day (9/5) was spent hunting and harvesting Lionfish and the evening consuming them, ceveche style, kabobed and fried. The ceveche style was my favorite. Had a slght reaction to the toxin which made my throat swell slightly. The feeling was like the tiny bones found in anchivies. I recovered a few days later… Wednesday Afternoon I spend diving with the Marine Park Services hunting and filming lionfish for a documentary, separate from … Read entire article »

Brinicle, Underwater Icicle, Captured Forming By Time-Lapse Camera

New video has been released that shows the formation of a brinicle on the ocean floor. Essentially an underwater icicle, the brinicle, or “finger of death,” freezes everything in its path. Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson filmed the stunning time-lapse clip below, which is apparently the first of its kind. Shot for the BBC’s “Frozen Planet,” the clip was recorded using a special time-lapse camera that caught the brinicle’s entire formation process. What’s really going on here is the freezing of warmer waters as sub-zero brine slowly sinks to the ocean floor. The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it.Where the so-called “brinicle” met the sea bed, a web of ice formed that froze everything it touched, including sea … Read entire article »

Shark Finning. A Must watch Video

Why and how have we as humans become so stupid and intentionally ignorant of what we are doing to this planet, to ourselves, our future. We have but one planet to live on. We have LIMITED resources yet we act as though we rule the world and can take what ever we want, do what ever we want. We know this is wrong. We know this needs to stop, yet the stress goes unchecked, not policed until the point of return has tipped to the point of no return. You have got to watch this video. It is a bit long yet sends a powerful message. Chef Ramsey records from Shark fining to consumption. Bravo for his efforts and for making this film. Pass this link on for other to watch. Help us help ourselves from destroying our future before it … Read entire article »
