What IS that thing at the end…?👀😱😳 and yes my husband DID go diving when he dropped my GoPro in here. That video is on my page too 😅

Did you know this animal can literally EJECT its internal organs out of its body when it feels threatened… and then just grow them all back?😱👀

The truth about the crocodile in my canal🫣😳🐊 and WHY I still paddleboard in the Croc Canal

#crocodile #alligator #manatee #florida #greenscreenvideo

There’s NO way this happened TWICE in one day 😱😳🐊

I was paddleboarding through the croc canal on a VERY murky day when this giant “big potato” suddenly came up for air DIRECTLY under me 😭

He was NOT there seconds before. I thought I had eyes on all of them, and then suddenly… boom. We both scared each other at the exact same moment.

I stayed completely still because if I had panicked and started paddling away, I could’ve scared him even more or fallen right into the canal… and who knows where the crocodile could be 😳🐊

The craziest part is this exact manatee has been following me around in here for days 😂 We can tell him apart because he unfortunately has a small boat strike scar on his back. We named him Flip.

Right before this happened, a boat started heading straight toward the group in the murky water. I started pointing out where each manatee was so the captain could avoid hitting them. He slowed down and swerved around every single one thankfully. That’s why my paddleboard was a bit closer to the group than I usually get. It’s important to give animals space and respect.

Boat strikes are one of the leading causes of death for manatees, especially in resting canals like this.

So yes… I’d rather get flipped off my paddleboard than watch Flip get hit by a boat🥺

And before anyone asks… thankfully it was NOT the crocodile coming up from the depths this time 🫠

Follow along for more manatee, shark, dolphin, and crocodile adventures 🐊

When freediving, it is VERY important to master equalization and always dive with a trained buddy. Proper technique and practicing it consistently is what allows you to go deeper safely and comfortably. The more you train, the more you can also build your CO₂ tolerance, which helps extend your breath holds over time.

But none of that matters without safety. Safety is non-negotiable. 🤍

Rescuing one of the BIGGEST sea hares I’ve ever seen😱 I had to literally swim in the water to help this one out😅 Thank you for following & supporting my page to allow me to do things like this for the wildlife & the ocean!🥹🫶🛟🚮

Throwback to when I discovered sea hares for the FIRST TIME… and DOZENS of them at once😅

At first, I didn’t even know what they were. A local told me they were harmless, so I decided to help one back into the ocean🥹

One week later, I came back just to save more, and have been coming back ever since🫶

A reminder that you don’t have to know everything right away. Being a lifelong learner and caring about wildlife is what matters most🩵🌊
