The Gulf Is Alive

In this amazing episode of 'Another Walk with Mike,' entitled 'The Gulf Is Alive,' your eyes will be tantalized as Mike free dives the marvelous waters of the panhandle. You'll witness a King Mackerel take a meal before your eyes. An octupus occupy a hole. A trio of Crabs involved in fisticuffs. Colorful squid, rays and beautiful reef fish. You'll see shells dug from the crystal white sands and you'll discover... another adventure is always only 'Another Walk with Mike' away.

@guitarhunter911 Sent you a message instead because of the length. This and my other underwater videos are off of the beach.

mike also can i swim out to the second sand bar or do i need a kayak ? how far out is it 200 yrds ? went snorkeling in cozumel last year i did know destin water was this clear and this much wildlife

Sometimes, when I first began snorkeling those waters, after my move there, I would take my kayak. Partly to have a secure place to enter should i feel vulnerable and partly because of the distance from shore. But truthfully, if you have fins, you should just swim out., partly because the second sandbar isn't necessarily your destination. The entire swim is your destination. I actually often swam out way past the second bar, and experienced different wildloife altogether. But inside is best.

I didn't think there was anything left of the Gulf after those BP morons destroyed it with their oil. It's a shame too I saw a lot of the Gulf in Texas down in Corpus Christi. It deserves better fate than becoming some giant oil sludge.

Not sure when you're renting, but yes, it is possible to see this there. I came across some sea turtle and other wildlife off of Alys Beach. I found some sweet spots along 30A and the surrounding areas, but all along there is fun. In between sandbars is nice as is the slope to the second bar. Go have fun. If I were still there I'd blindfold you and take you to the special spots, but you can't go wrong. As long as conditions are good,and the water clear, you are in paradise. Good luck!

Awesome job on the video. That's my kind of morning. I was out with my snorkel for a half hour this afternoon, but didn't see that much. Where were you along the gulf coast? I'm in Santa Rosa Beach.
