Wizzard at the beach

I know it might seem silly for me to be this attached to my pet rabbit Wizzard, but he had so much personality! It was amazing, I never knew that rabbits could show as much love as this guy did to me! He helped me through some rough times in my life when I really didn't have anyone.
WIzzard loved the beach, he was so good too! He would never run away from me or hide or anything! He would just stretch out in the sand and watch me surf ^_^
It grieves me to inform you that Wizzard is no longer with me. I found out that he was viciously torn to pieces by a heartless savage raccoon =8(
 I found out through a phone call to my work, the day before I was to return home from living on Catalina Island for three months. I was counting down the days until I could finally see him again and on the last day I received the news.. The time I had with this little guy was priceless though and I am very thankful I had the chance to adopt him! I guess the saying is true, "It's better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all." We had some pretty epic beach adventures together and I will always cherish the time I had with Wizzard.
R.I.P Wizzard, you were the best pet I've ever loved!

Freediving Laguna Beach California using gopro hero3+ black

Sea new videos on my channel every week! Here is the link 

^_^ 

See all of my underwater ocean videos! Click Here, for Viralfish youtube channel


Here is a video I filmed freediving last week while using my go pro hero 3 plus black edition camera. I used my go pro hero 3 black edition a lot and still love it, but I have also been loving my new hero3+ black ^_^ I am excited to keep freediving with it and use it some more caves and better low light situations to see how well it functions. I have already used in a few underwater caves and I was very impressed at how much the light the new gopro hero3+ camera actually picked up! It's definitely a step above my hero 3 black. You can see those videos by clicking the links below.

I love the ocean and have a very strong connection with it! My current goals are to continue pushing my body by getting stronger breath holds, inspire people through my videos, and hopefully land another job that will allow me to pursue freediving and underwater cinematography! Or at least find a way that I can make a little money doing this so I can keep freediving and studying the ocean through my videos ^_^  Keep checking back, plenty more ocean commotion every week right here on viralfish! Thank you for watching! If you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up! 
Or better yet, tell your friends about it ^_^ Thanks again!

Cheers,
+Troy

Sea lion feeding on fish bait ball in Catalina

Like all of my underwater videos, I filmed this while freediving. This was my first time to see a bait ball being corralled by a sea lion and I was very excited to be there filming it! Fortunately the water visibility was crystal clear so I could really get a good look at what was going on! Enjoy ^_^
