Beluga Whales Underwater
Beluga Whales are some of the most vocal animals in the oceans which is why they are known as Canaries of the Sea. Make sure you have the sound on while you watch my video to hear all of the fascinating sounds they make. They are very social and are usually in pods. You'll see females with calves in my footage, young belugas and adult males. Even though Beluga Whales are white, they are actually born gray so look for the baby belugas in the video! You'll also notice that Belugas don't have a dorsal fin. This is because they typically live around ice in Arctic waters and it can cause heat loss. One of the most interesting things I saw while observing them in the water was their ability to move their head and look at us. They are very curious and would frequently come up to my camera. Sometimes they'd gently bump or press their melon against it. I don't try to humanize animals but I really felt like they were trying to communicate in some way. They are very intelligent and it was incredible to see several mothers bring their calves up to us with no sense of threat. It was one of the most incredible underwater encounters i've had and I've been diving and in the water for over 29 years. I'm a professional photographer / filmmaker and this was one of the most energizing and touching experiences I've personally had with wildlife. I hope you enjoy the video, listen to their unique vocalizations and feel inspired to learn more about Beluga Whales.

Diving Inside the USS Saratoga to visit the Dentist Office

In this video you'll find a lot of RAW shipwreck penetration video that I shot inside the USS Saratoga in Bikini Atoll. I decided to not edit down a lot of the footage or add any other audio to give the viewer the experience of what it feels like diving inside this historic Aircraft Carrier. You can hear how quiet it is and eerie lack of sound except for my breathing and sounds from my equipmen...
Oil leaking from IJN Nagato in Bikini Atoll

I think the video will speak for itself. This is oil leaking from the IJN Nagato, a Japanese Battleship of over 700 feet long that was sunk during Operation Crossroads in July 1946. The oil slick on the surface was significant. Becky@LiquidProductions.com

Listen to the sounds of our ship moving through the pack ice as we head further north into the Arctic. Feel how remote it is and look out to the ice. This is the polar bears kingdom. Polar bears are marine mammals spending their lives on ice around the water. They typically live on sea ice hunting seals which is their primary source of food. They have a keen sense of smell living in this remote...
Arctic Polar Bear

A day in the life of a polar predator in the Arctic can sometimes be very chill. This beautiful female bear was very active and gave us quite a show walking along the beach, hunting for bird eggs and finally playing and eating a snowball. She had the most stunning eyes i've ever seen in a wild animal. I've seen a lot of polar bears but I think she was the most beautiful with her big dinner plat...
Underwater Walrus in the Arctic

Welcome to the world of the Walrus. They are found across the Arctic and in the summer time colonies of them lounge on rocky beaches. They are extremely social animals so you'll see packs of them together in the water feeding, playing or just chilling in the shallows to take the weight off. They can grow over 3000lbs so they can be quite large! Both males and females have tusks but you may spot...

Wisconsins Oldest Shipwrecks - Gallinipper and Home
Переглядів 833Рік тому
The Gallinipper was a small 95-foot-long schooner built in 1833 and is the oldest shipwreck found in Wisconsin waters. It transported goods from the east to early settlements in the area and has ties to the fur trade by sending furs back east. The ship changed hands several times over the years and even sank several times before she finally foundered in a storm in 1851 carrying lumber from Milw...

This is insanely gnarly. Well done.
Is it really that close to Isle Royale? It seems like less that 100 yards to swim to the island. Hard to believe its 180 feet deep that close to the Island?
It really is that close to an island. Some of the crew made it off noto the island before dying of exposure. It's a rick cliff and just plumets down into the depths. The wreck actually sits in 190-270ft down the slope
@@BeckyKaganSchott Wonder why all 9 crew didn't just swim to shore.
Great footage thx for sharing this.
glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video!
Beautiful and intelligent animals!
They really are.
Beautiful…. So curious
So cool very up close in your face beautiful whales
They were so close i had to pull my camera back towards me. Curious creatures.
This should go virile Becky. Were you nervous around them.
That would be great. I'd love to show the world how amazing Belugas are!
@@BeckyKaganSchott You will have all kinds of researchers and beluga lovers making reference to this. They must have sensed your vibe. Congrats on the amazing video.
Absolutely love this! What a fantastic video! Im a fan!
How is the wreck laid out? I know it broke in half but how did it land?
Beautiful
2:58, I would like to know the name of the music please.
Just returned from Chuuk. June 24, some the same some has changed quite a bit, more marine life. Incredible video. Quality superb
Gorgeous video!! I randomly fell upon your video and it looks like you have some other great stuff so I am subscribing!!
You are everywhere Becky 😮!! 😊
Very nice!
Great footage!!Is it possible to dive and film UC-97 in lake Michigan?!
P.S.I love the ambient water noise with no music!It's really nice sometimes
@@wirelessone2986 Thank you, it seems a lot of people like that. I was so scared to post with just the original audio which isn't much on a rebreather. I found it kind of relaxing and obviously realistic. Anyway, i don't think the location of the U-97 is known. I'd love to document it.
@BeckyKaganSchott Becky its very relaxing...I dove for years in the Great lakes and ambient noise is so immersive into YOUR dive for me.Also get a go fund me to dive UC-97...I would donate!!
@BeckyKaganSchott OH UC-97 is known but may not be released to the public Im not shure...but A and T Recovery discovered it in 1992 and is on their WIKI page under lake Michigan projects at the bottom of that drop down. I bet Cris Kohl might know what's up with UC-97.
@@wirelessone2986 I figured AandT has it but won't release it. Even for me to document it. I know others are out looking to "relocate" it so we can dive it =) It can't be too deep.
I must say what an excellent video ! Nice very well done ! Whst a underwater marvel !
hello, very interesting video, i love lost ship of great lakes. I'm greetings from Poland
O peixe boi parece uma foca
Wow, amazing skills all around - the diving, video, set up.
Bexky, as an avid open circuit, TEC-45 sidemount wreck penetration diver and retired U.S. Navy surface warfare officer who has served on several large ships , I truly am amazed by this dive on "SARA", for which I often served as plane guard on my ship cruiser following astern her during flight ops. Great buoyancy control! Slow and easy!! Since I assume you are filming the team's dive, which diver [ahead of you] is diving the red Dive Rite fins? I've tried and owned a pair years ago but always found them to be too stiff for me and revert to vented, channel-style ScubaPro Jet Fins [XXL with my dry suit or XL with wetsuits]. If you're the videographer, which fins are you diving? ALL THE BEST!!! Morgan
Thank you for your comment and for your service. I'm glad you got to see the Saratoga before she was sunk. That must be kind of surreal for you. Its good to hear you now enjoy diving ships too. there is so much incredible history. The diver in red fins is JC, he probably uses them because they are lighter weight than some jet fins even though he's in a drysuit. I personally was in a backmount rebreather ...a megalodon and i use the OMS slipstreams because they are similar to my beloved Jet Fins but lighter for travel and a little lighter in the water so my feet don't drop (I was diving wet). They are my goto fins for most of my diving though. I have 4-5 sets of fins for different things. I have a pair of Fourth Element tech fins which are nuetral in the water and also really nice. Plus my recreational Mares Quatros.I love those for wetsuit diving but i find they are too long for wreck penetrations. I prefer my stiffer OMS Slipstreams or Jet fins personally.
Becky, OMS Slipstream fins are my dive travel fins when diving warm water in thin wetsuits or rashguard. Very same mold as the Jet fins but, as you know, lighter in monoprene (rather than heavier natural rubber). Hope someday our paths cross, FB Friend!!! Dive Safe!!!
Truly amazing views and you have too be so cautious - Real Pro thank you for sharing
nice day in the office ! i like you minimalist fining i do the the same even in OW.
Some amazing buoyancy control there
Really enjoyed the silent video!
Glad to hear that. It isn't completely silent. If you do listen you hear some of my equipment and gas additions. The rebreathers are quiet though.
Amazing shot ♥
Wow. Props to JC Erba for some amazing bouyancy control!
Wow, that was nice...outstanding last image, insane lighting - that must have been very difficult , yet you pulled it off. Bravo!
Thank you, i'm glad to hear everyone's watching until the end to see the final image. I thought it would be interesting to show what it takes vs just the final shot. SO much goes into it. Like i said i my caption, it took us 3 dives to finally nail the shot.
Fantastic work. That final still is amazing. Well done.
Amazing images and great lighting and filming. That must be some serious task loading to get the shots and keep it all clean!
trimix, rebreathers, wreck penetration, lighting, shooting while keeping track of navigation, buoyancy and watching PO2 ect... for sure!
Excellent work! Bucket list dive for sure!
I find your job very interesting,could you show us in a video how you equipped yourself before a dive ?
Glad you enjoyed it! Do you mean the gear we wear specifically? I have some other videos showing what a rebreather is and what it does. It's hard to shoot gearing up video just because we gear up together but if you also check out my video "Bringing Shipwrecks to Life" the sidewheeler detroit you'll see more!
"Is it safe?" 😀 Amazing!
Amazing imagery as always, Becky. I love following your work. When I grow up I want to be like you. Come visit us in Palm Beach again. The leatherbacks say it's been too long. :)
Than kyou and i will do that
Amazing job and brilliant footage Becky. JC sets a pretty high bar there in dive skills and I am sure you would have had to as well to keep the space clean for your shots. Congrats: )!!
Pretty wild
Amazing wreck, and amazing skills demonstrated by the sidewinder diver.
Amazing job!!
Awesome dive. So jealous.
no sound?
I mention in my description that I didn't add any sound to keep the natural sounds of what its like to be on the dive. It's eerie and quiet except for the sounds of my gear and addition of gas into my rebreather occasionally. I think it's best to watch it full screen. Audio up and just immerse yourself like you're in the dive.
@@BeckyKaganSchott I like the natural sounds, thank you for not adding any music or anything really.
@@redolds231 I appreciate you saying that. I have had some requests in the past to just hear the environment and make it more "immersive". I thought i'd give it a try =D
@@BeckyKaganSchott I’m glad you did, it’s a great video.
So much better hearing the rattle of the the stages and the water rather than some generic music that no one enjoys. Thank you for keeping it real world.
PLEAS SHIT CAN THE LOUD HOMO MUSIC NEXT VIDEO
This is so sad,hope everything goes well
😢
Os peixes bois são criados a toddy
Another absolutely extraordinary piece! The image of that Mark V is unbelievable. You've got real talent. Thanks for sharing such an outrageous dive.
Thank you so much. It was otherworldly to see in person
Came here from hearing Mr. Ballen's podcast about the father and son.
I haven't watched this one in a long time. It's amazing!
My great grandfather, Arthur Fargo was on this ship, super interesting to see!
Why do the dive helms have such pretty blue glass?
That is a Morse Shallow Water Divers helmet and it would have been clear. It's probably just due to age that it's discolored
@@BeckyKaganSchott very curious way for it to age. Thanks for the info! Do you have a photo of them somewhere that I could download? I'd love to set it as my wallpaper
