18 күн бұрынThe Best Snorkeling Near Vancouver, BC?! #whiterock #pointroberts
Holy!! What an epic two days of freediving and snorkeling... First, we hit the herring jackpot while exploring the White Rock Pier in Surrey, BC and second, I had a phenomenal time searching the oceans bottom off of Lily Point in Point Roberts, Washington. It was a nice welcome back after a two month hiatus from diving. Damn it feels good to be back!

Just leaving White Rock Pier, probably the best snorkel I've ever done!! Beautiful jellyfish, the most amount of fish in one place I've ever seen and I also got surprised with a huge bait ball at the end! Lots of life! Didn't even use a weight belt. Hood off, no gloves. It was heaven! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. You rock dude. I got tons of clips ❤Much love homie!

Wow! Thanks!! Brings back a ton of memories. Grew right close to that pier. (1950s). I was around 8 when Mom bought me a snorkel and mask. (no flippers). Those crabs haven't changed a bit (that's me - now old and funny). I recall a young dolphin got stranded on a sand bar and a bunch of older kids pulled it back to open water. I never knew what species it was and/or if they frequent these waters anymore but they sure did then. Anyways, good on you for living such a healthy life. The ocean is as good as it gets be it White Rock or Maui - I've swam them both. Excellent camera work!!!!!!! Those herring shots? You nailed it. Old Man and the Sea signs off!!

Thanks so much for the comment and providing a bit of history. It's always nice to think of the people who came before me and who will come after. Once the ocean captures your soul it's a hard thing to leave behind. I agree, I can dive muddy sand banks for coral reefs in Bermuda and still find the beauty. Hmm, I wonder if it was a harbor porpoise? Or maybe a Pacific White Sided dolphin? I'd love to see one of those while diving. I found a deceased harbor porpoise on the beach in Point Roberts, WA once. It looked like it had been hit by a boat. As sad as it was, it was interesting to look at one up close.

Grew up in White Rock. Use to go to the Pier often. Just to clear something up from your description below the video, the White Rock Pier is NOT in Surry, BC as you state but in White Rock, BC. That is why it is called the White Rock Pier. While Surry is a district that has several small cities and towns in it such as Gilford or Walley, White Rock is not one of them. It is it's own jurisdiction. Plus you little friend is a Tent Caterpillar, which are common in North America and not a invasive species, just a pain to people who's trees get infested with then. . Good video.

Oh, interesting. I always thought White Rock was a district within South Surrey. Just like Tsawwassen is part of Delta. Learn something new everyday! Thanks for the clarification. I'm familiar with the other orange tent caterpillars but I don't recall seeing the forest tent caterpillar in the past. They are beautiful. Happy to hear they are not invasive!
@foxymacadoo 4 күн бұрын
@@PNWSamson No Problem. Plus the tent caterpillars are the ones you see that have h=large, sometimes huge, nests in trees that is made from the thread they make. You will find them on trees with leaves but not needles. They can badly damage a Apple tree or any other leaf tree in one summer. The tree will never be the same. That is why farmers etc destroy the nests ASAP

I'm not really sure what you mean. The fins I'm trying out in the video are made from fiberglass. The fins that I was using beforehand are 75% carbon fiber and 25% s-glass fibre. Lots of fins are made some pure carbon fiber though. The Cetma Mantras for example are pure carbon fiber.

Do not swim there!!! I was there on the weekend and it reeked like sewage under the pier at low tide. The mud is black and bubbling, so gross

What you are smelling is sulphide. It's produced by bacteria as they digest dead phytoplankton. It's 100% natural and does not indicate poor water quality. I dove a remote pristine stretch off of Vancouver Island last weekend and the beach also stank of sulphide.

Have you ever gone to belcarra and gone out to admiralty point? The water around there is so beautiful and I've seen orcas swimming around there

I've dove all around the Indian Arm. I love it. I haven't been off Admiralty Point specifically, but that general area. Up the arm is my favorite, close to granite falls! Beautiful.
