What a sight!

Tons of tarpon all congregating in a small cavernous area.

I’ve been diving with snook before, but I’ve never experienced a tarpon dive like this.

Pretty darn cool to see so many of these silver kings “nonchalantly” hanging out while a diver swims through them.

This underwater cave area is known as “Eden’s Rock” in the Cayman Islands, and the video footage was from Monika Wojtkiewicz.

Certainly an amazing place to dive, not to mention, a great place to see (and potentially catch) tarpon.

If you like snook, you are going to love this video!

About a month ago, we posted a video that went crazy viral of a few guys taking a GoPro down to the bottom of the Sebastian Inlet (you can see that video here)

So when I saw that two other guys did an entire NEW drift dive of Sebastian Inlet, I knew it was going to be awesome.

And as you will see below, it didn’t disappoint.

I don’t think there is anything cooler than seeing exactly what is down under the water of places that you fish (except for catching the fish of course…)

Here are the notes from the owner of the video (311Pope):

“In the summer, Sebastian Inlet opens up with gin clean water and a small group of us take the annual incoming ride. It was filmed at the switch of the tide under the north catwalk. Seems like those fish came out at the switch because I did 4 or 5 drifts that day and didn’t see them until the tide slowed.”

Check out all of the Snook and Grouper sitting down there just waiting for your bait!

Enjoy!

Nurse sharks aren’t known for being the most aggressive sharks in the sea by any sense of the imagination…

Although don’t tell that to this angler who had a juvenile nurse shark latch on to his groin area (watch that video here)

But every once in a while these docile sharks get riled up and make a move on a diver or a spearfisherman.

In this case, it appeared as though a few scuba divers were doing their thing (blowing bubbles and taking footage of reefs), when this nurse shark decided it did not want to be on camera.

Fortunately, diver Dan Riley was able to get his camera back (hence, the footage you can see below) as the nurse shark ended up spitting out the GoPro when it realized it wasn’t a tasty meal.

Enjoy.

The Lionfish Killer Is Back!!!

Note: If you didn’t hear the amazing interview with Alex Fogg (aka The Lionfish Killer) that just went live yesterday called “Meet The Man That Has Killed Over 10,000 Lionfish”, then download and listen to the podcast interview here.

This video below it a recent dive that Alex and his Reef Ranger friends did on a wreck called the Empire Mica off Cape San Blas, Florida.

They ended up filling up their zookeepers and came away with a few hundred pounds of lionfish!

Great job guys!

Thanks for all of the support below sea level to clean up these reefs and wrecks!

Enjoy.

It’s not every day you see a shark attack on video that you can laugh about, but this one is pretty funny.

It appears that a juvenile nurse shark (which have been known to bite down and not let go) latched itself on to this guys upper leg, and it took two men to finally pry it off.

The guy is just lucky the shark wasn’t a few inches in the other direction… could have been much more painful (like this video where a triggerfish bites a diver right where it counts…)

Fortunately for the man that was “bit” by a nurse shark in the video below, he only suffered a nice welt and some slight humiliation of having his family and friends laugh at him.

What do want to make a bet that this shark went back to his shark friends and claimed he ate the guy’s leg…

Enjoy.

Important Note: Although the shark swam off safely, we do NOT advise throwing sharks (or any fish) like the guy in the video did.

If you are like me, watching snook underwater (or leaping out of the water to hit a topwater plug) never gets old.

So when I found this older footage of a diver stumbling upon an awesome snook hole (with one unlucky grouper) I had to share it.

As you will see, this a great “old school” video showing some awesome underwater footage of tons of big snook on a wreck off of Stuart, FL.

Some of the snook were absolute bruisers that would be close to impossible to pull out of that structure if hooked.

And at the beginning of the video, this diver even filmed a goliath grouper that had a pair of Boga grips latched to its jaw…

Important Note: Always be sure to latch your Boga grip to your wrist so you don’t let a fish swim off with them – especially when dealing with larger fish. Not only are you losing a $100 fishing device, but it is almost impossible for a fish to shake the Boga grip off by itself.

At any rate, enjoy this underwater footage.

Triggerfish are some mean muggers!

If you’ve never encountered a triggerfish while diving, these “toothy” fish can be pretty aggressive fish.

Especially if they think you are getting too close to their food supply or homes.

This footage from Gary Lee below shows first hand just how fast and dangerous these small fish can be.

And if you think for a second that a little triggerfish can’t do much damage, then watch the viral video…

Enjoy below!

Trigger fish violent attack……

Pa-POW!!!

What a strike!

Crazy how fast these wahoo come in for the kill.

And there is just nothing better than seeing some amazing fish strikes caught on film!

Right around the 1:35 mark in the video watch this Wahoo get stopped in its tracks. It happens so fast you will probably want to watch it a few times… or a 100.

And don’t forget to keep a eye on the screen at 2:58 mark as well… there is a surprise visit from the Tax Collector.

I kept waiting for the shark to come back by and get a bite, but it never happened.

Enjoy and Fish On!

Have you ever heard of Jet Boots before?

Well, after watching this video below you might want to buy a pair!

These jet-propelled diving boots are freaking sweet!

I mean, who needs scuba tanks if you have a pair of Jet Boots?

The guy in the video that chases down a submarine (and certainly has some fun with the people inside of the sub) is Paul McDonnel (the well-known deaf freediver).

He even has some fun passing by scuba divers in a wreck (similar to the funny scuba prank video he did last year).

So how much do these Jet Boots cost?

According to my research online, these jet-propelled boots run anywhere from $3,000 – $5,000 for recreational users.

They also make these Jet Boots for the military (read more here about the specs).

Enjoy!
