Gopro hero3+ black edition underwater octopus


I filmed this underwater video with my go pro hero3+ black edition camera. I was lucky enough to spot an octopus on my free dive this week =) It was a Pacific Two Spot Octopus, and they are very intelligent animals! As a matter of fact, they are the smartest of all invertebrates. Being that smart they are also very curious! They often like to use their tentacles and suction cups to feel out the surroundings. That is why he grabs on to my gopro in this video ^_^ The pacific two spot octopus, like all other octopuses, is very strong! Since they lack bones and cartilage their bodies are made up of solid muscle! Octopus primarily eat muscles, crabs, small fish and moray eels.

I post new underwater ocean videos every week! Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on my new adventures =o)  Thanks guys!



Cheers,

Fukushima Radiation in the Pacific Ocean from Fukushima Power Plant Disaster Exposed

Current Crisis, Fukushima Power Plant in Japan

Read the full story here


JUST IN!

Magnitude 5 quake near damaged Fukushima nuclear facility

A MAGNITUDE 5.1 earthquake has been registered near the damaged Fukushima nuclear facility.
The epicentre was initially reported as being 102km east-north-east of the tsunami-wracked nuclear power station currently undergoing delicate uranium fuel rod extraction procedures.










  To be completely honest, my overall feelings about all this are anger and sadness. It saddens me more than anything. My heart goes out to the families living in Japan right now, especially those in close proximity to the plant. Then I begin to think about my unborn children and their generation..


There were two things that really stood out to me in this video 

1)Japan scientists in Fukushima are obviously not telling us the truth. We need to all be honest here so we can do our damn finest to fix the problem! Like that woman in the video said, "They told us it would take 40 years to clean this up", That is not true, by definition of scientific law. 

2) Umm.. Yaayy, I have cancer! I already knew that was coming. 

     What gets me is that they have been dumping nuclear waste in the ocean for over a year!?!  It's absolutely ludicrous, but then again Japan also kills dolphins..Which is even more ludicrous in my opinion.
that's a different topic though.
So yeah, I'm going to go ahead and stay away from Tuna for now..

I have a lot of questions and I'm assuming I'm not the only one. I need to do some researching now. Is there anybody out there that may shed some light on the subject?
Who, what, why didn't anyone do something?!
 Or was it that no one knew this was taking place? They probably all knew but didn't want to tell the public. (Ever seen Armagedon?! The public  saves the day!)

Overall, the crisis in Fukushima saddens me, but I am not fearful.
 I trust in God ^_^  What good does it do to run around in fear?
Now slow down there on the comment box, I'm not saying we should sit back, relax, and let God do everything for us! haha no! We need to be smart here and work together on this! Someone needs to form a group of most knowledgeable intellectuals, scientists, whoever is best qualified. Obviously everyone is under qualified because this has never happened before. (It reminds so much of the movie "Armageddon"!)
Anyways, form a group, figure out how to secure that leak, and most importantly, STABILIZE the cores! We need to have that on lock! Not just hope we don't have an earthquake! Bottom line, it is imperative that they assemble the right team and take action! Or else call in the Avengers!
Well there is my opinion on this current event, watch the video now and decide for yourself.. Enjoy

Cheers,

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!



Cheers,

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,
