Loved this video very much! I want to be a marine biologist when I get older so I watch videos. This was one of my favorites!This was incredible footage, it is really stable and not blurry!Thanks for sharing this awesome video!!

DerpySquid890 [GD] - 7 years ago

Same! I really want to be a marine bioligist when I'm older! I really love sharks and want to be able to swim with some one day. A shark in particular that I really want to see is a Great White Shark. They are really magnificent creatures and I would love to swim with one. I have never seen a great white in person and I really want too. I also want to swim with leopard sharks, sevengill sharks, and definitly whale sharks. God whale sharks are so beautiful! Well I wish you good luck on becoming a marine biologist! :D

spear fishing legal here?

Trystan Snodgrass - 8 years ago

Spear fishing is legal several miles north and south of this location, but this specific area (La Jolla Cove/Shores/Marine room beaches) is a Marine Protected Area(MPA) which prohibits any form of fishing or take of any kind(shells, rocks, fish, etc). Good spear fishing around the point though, south of La Jolla Cove (there are several prohibited species such as Black Sea Bass though).

My friend lost his leg there......You are going to get bit

chili24137 - 7 years ago

Steve Perry, these sharks don't have the capability of making someone "lose a leg" they have super tiny teeth, you are blatantly lying... not sure why

TheBeanieNation - 7 years ago

Steve Perry no cases of shark attacks there dumb bitch

+Trystan Snodgrass He cut it on a rock....Be careful.

Steve Perry - 8 years ago

+Trystan Snodgrass He had a large cut on his leg that started to bleed....He was promptly attacked. Thats the problem....They dont want flesh, they want blood. Let someone cut themselves bad. You will see them attack.

Trystan Snodgrass - 8 years ago

these sharks have never attacked anyone, there are bigger sevengills that are 7 to 10ft long and even they bite very rarely and only when you are spear fishing, not sure how your friend lost his leg, there has not been an attack this local area that resulted in a lost limb

That's was an awesome video!!! :-)
Is this where the snorkeling tour takes u?

Trystan Snodgrass - 9 years ago

+Cyrus Zoghi That depends on the company, but there are a few that go to this area. Keep in mind that the visibility isn't always good in this location, but on a good day it is amazing!

Donny Rich - 9 years ago

Is this la jolla pier? Or the cove?

Trystan Snodgrass - 9 years ago

+Donny Rich Halfway in between the pier and the cove, the southern corner south of scripps pier

sirderpsalot - 10 years ago

Spectacular footage! Thanks for sharing this, thoroughly enjoyed watching it :)

Marcus Moree - 10 years ago

I just saw a guy catch one and then eat it.

Brett Goudy - 10 years ago

Do you have a brother or cousin named steven who goes to CSUSM?

anyways, I had a similar experience in the exact location you described la jolla shores, right next to that resort or private beach you can see on the google earth overhead... if you go south of that area there is a lot of seagrass and good places to go. This seems to be a nice spot when la jolla cove is lower visibility this tends to still be fair/good to go out

what kaind of sharks is this ?

Michael Leonardo - 11 years ago

thanks, that actually doesn't look too far away from the shore.

Trystan Snodgrass - 11 years ago

I shot this using the ReplayXD 1080 camera in the deep dive underwater housing. The visibility will vary on a daily basis in La Jolla, sometimes it will be really clear close to shore, sometimes it will be utterly horrible. It depends on the swells and general weather conditions, so you just need to go as often as possible and hope for the best! A day like this is pretty rare, but it happens at least a few times a month ;)

h4! - 11 years ago

Great video! I'm feeling inspired! What did you use to shoot the video? I was in that area in September of last year and the visibility was terrible but it was teeming with leopard sharks... perhaps I was too close to the shore?

sye fi - 11 years ago

great video. i'm heading out there in exactly four weeks. cant wait!

Trystan Snodgrass - 11 years ago

I just added the location information to the video description above, this should give you a decent idea of where we were.

Shareef Mahmoud - 11 years ago

the marine room? i only found the restaurant, im going there in about a week so an info will be great

Michael Leonardo - 11 years ago

How far out were you? Closer to the caves? I was told that you really don't need to go out too far to see the leopard sharks. I want to see more than leopard sharks, any advice?

Trystan Snodgrass - 11 years ago

Depends, sometimes you'll see 10 in your view at once, other times just a couple. But overall there are hundreds out in this general area, but they tend to avoid people pretty consistently

Brian Patrick - 11 years ago

Also kudos for the Gerudo valley theme

Brian Patrick - 11 years ago

Hmmm, how many sharks?

Trystan Snodgrass - 11 years ago

I went out again today and the conditions weren't that great, I hope the visibility is good for you tomorrow! (I've never had visibility as good as it was when I filmed this video haha)

Brian Patrick - 11 years ago

Hell yeah I'm going out tomorrow

Trystan Snodgrass - 11 years ago

The Marine Room @ La Jolla Shores, and it's free as long as you have your own gear :) But if you don't, you can buy cheap gear for $25, or you can go on a snorkeling tour, however I do not know the prices for that

John Connor - 11 years ago

Wow I am planning to visit San Diego as soon! Please tell me where this is, how much it costs, etc! Thank you! :)

Koru - 11 years ago

It's 'Gerudo Valley' from Ocarina of Time. I loved the rendition, too!

ArthurGreenDesigns - 11 years ago

Cool video! I went snorkeling my first time there a few weeks ago. The track is familiar, what is it from?
