I have been diving in that river with Alan as well. Found a beautiful pearl blue great white. Alan is a damn good guy and anyone that would like to dive the Cooper should definitely look him up!

My grandfather was a fossil Hunter and when he passed away I got his 8 Megalodon teeth he found.

That guy Allen sounds exactly like Forrest Gump!

It is so nice to be able to watch video with Alan in it. Thanks Bird man

[oceanthewolf]

I love how you teach us and not only dive in your videos, I love learning about marine life

If that megalodon shark is still living today, Oceans will be a big nope

My first ever dive had this visibility. Big lobsters suddenly appearing was pretty frightening

Johnathan, you should totally be Aquaman one Halloweeen. You’re the real world Aquaman

Unfortunately Alan is now a Legend. He is no longer with us. He was a great diver and an even better friend to everyone.

That is so cool. But that low visibility would freak me out.

[ayshaazeez]

thank u for educating all of us jonathan!!

Your channel is helping me keep well beyond sane during my Covid quarantine. Very interesting topics covered. I’m learning so much. I had no idea megalodons were real.

[FintasticFilms]

One of your coolest videos. I remember when you gave away some of the megalodon teeth you found, and I was one of the lucky winners. I still have my tooth on display in my home office!

anyone else feel like a megalodon was gonna come outta no where

Please pray for Captain Alan’s safe return. He’s missing at sea.... we need positive thoughts 🙏

Really cool episode, very unexpected subject matter. The animation at the beginning was a nice touch. Love the show!

Ok, so I have an answer, a problem, and a question for you and your videographer buddies. In this video at mile marker 15:00 I see some striation in the light. So here is my answer: this is caused because you are using an LED light and LED tends to strobe on camera when using high fps 60, 120, etc. this particular striation is caused by a phenomenon called “shutter roll” but it usually just shows up as an annoying strobe.
My problem: i like to get high fps (240) under water while doing action shots. However, as you know, the higher the fps the more light you need. My problem comes from the fact that all the underwater lighting I can find is LED and i get this reoccurring problem.
My question: are there any “non LED” underwater lighting options out there and where do I find them? I’ve searched everywhere with no luck. Any guidance in this area would be greatly appreciated.

My diving instructor was telling us about his Cooper River diving finds!! Said he's found bunches of megalodon teeth and other cool historic artifacts! Definitely on my bucket list to dive in that river!
