There's a river that runsthrough there called Tavernier.

Jim: Rob, we're gettingpretty far from the boat.
00:05:10.859 --> 00:05:13.662

if we don't find it soon.
00:05:15.530 --> 00:05:17.566

00:06:48.123 --> 00:06:50.826
Well, we're at the nextplace called Hen and Chickens.
00:06:53.728 --> 00:06:57.299
And you have a big coralin the middle,
00:06:57.332 --> 00:06:59.835
it's like the mother hen.
00:06:59.868 --> 00:07:02.003

about 100 yards off the back.

As we're getting ready to goback to the boat, we hear
00:07:20.021 --> 00:07:22.757
from the top, "Hey, we sawa turtle in the location."
00:07:22.791 --> 00:07:26.628
So, we both startswimming over there.
00:07:26.661 --> 00:07:28.230
Robert: I didn't thinkwe'd ever find that turtle.
00:07:28.263 --> 00:07:30.065
The water was greenand kind of murky.
00:07:30.098 --> 00:07:32.200
Jim: Right, so we finallyget to the spot, so I thought,
00:07:32.234 --> 00:07:34.536
"Well, we'll never see it'cause they'll move around."
00:07:34.569 --> 00:07:37.205

Jim: Roger, we'llkeep looking around.
00:07:43.678 --> 00:07:47.215
And we just kind ofstopped for a second,
00:07:47.816 --> 00:07:49.117
and it wasn't 30 seconds.

Now, he's been hitwith probably a boat,
00:08:00.729 --> 00:08:06.034
but this is just beautiful.

00:08:07.936 --> 00:08:10.405
You don't get many opportunitiesto swim with them,
00:08:10.438 --> 00:08:15.243
and he's just swimming slow.
00:08:15.277 --> 00:08:17.045
We're swimming right behind him.
00:08:17.078 --> 00:08:19.314
This is spectacular.
00:08:19.347 --> 00:08:21.249
This is why people need to goscuba diving with Captain Slate.
00:08:21.283 --> 00:08:25.587
They bring you to the sites thathave the best wildlife, and this
00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:31.226
again is proof that God designedand created all
00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:34.896

00:08:42.070 --> 00:08:44.406
Then we saw a smaller one,a younger one,
00:08:44.439 --> 00:08:47.275
and I kind of started to goafter it, and he just took off.
00:08:47.309 --> 00:08:49.644

00:08:57.018 --> 00:09:00.188
Turned around, and I thinksomeone said, "Look down."
00:09:00.221 --> 00:09:04.893
And I look down andthere was another one.
00:09:04.926 --> 00:09:07.696

00:09:07.729 --> 00:09:09.698

Robert: Thatwas hawksbill also.
00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:14.302

00:09:20.208 --> 00:09:23.144
But I'm just really surprisedthat it came that close to me.
00:09:23.178 --> 00:09:25.914
I was trying not to head it off.
00:09:25.947 --> 00:09:28.116
It swam right up to me andI looked right in his eyes.

Now, I saw a tarpon.
00:09:36.958 --> 00:09:38.760
Jim didn't see it 'cause he wasback there still looking

00:09:40.595 --> 00:09:42.063

This is a turtle model though,this is not a real turtle, just

00:10:23.505 --> 00:10:26.241
They should not exist.
00:10:26.274 --> 00:10:29.044
And the reason is our shouldersare outside of our ribcage.
00:10:29.077 --> 00:10:33.715
Our shoulder blades areoutside of our ribcage.
00:10:33.748 --> 00:10:37.318
This is the turtle's ribcage.
00:10:37.352 --> 00:10:40.188
If you've ever taken a turtleshell and flipped it over, you
00:10:40.221 --> 00:10:42.624
could see his vertebraefused to the back of his shell.
00:10:42.657 --> 00:10:47.595
So, this is his ribs.
00:10:47.629 --> 00:10:49.798
Where are his shoulders?
00:10:49.831 --> 00:10:51.666
Inside his ribcage.
00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:53.535
So, somehow an animal thatbreathes like we do in and out,
00:10:53.568 --> 00:10:57.672
you have his diaphragm, we havea bellows-like lung, somehow
00:10:57.706 --> 00:11:01.176
this structure migrated into theribcage and the animal's able
00:11:01.209 --> 00:11:07.816
to breathe the entire time,or else they'd be dead
00:11:07.849 --> 00:11:10.785
and we wouldn't have them today.
00:11:10.819 --> 00:11:12.721
This evolutionary transitionfrom a shoulder outside of a
00:11:12.754 --> 00:11:15.690
ribcage to a shoulder insideis really crazy impossible.
00:11:15.724 --> 00:11:20.261
I love turtles.
00:11:20.295 --> 00:11:21.996

It's like we are on adifferent planet down here.
00:14:09.410 --> 00:14:12.980
Notice that some of thefish change color at night.
00:14:13.013 --> 00:14:17.218
What surprised me was thevibrant colors of the fish.
00:14:17.251 --> 00:14:20.921
They were different thanthe fish during the day.

'Cause it could be one of thoseor one of those, but the colors,
00:14:29.029 --> 00:14:31.966
most of them were kind ofbluish with blackish stripes.

We saw a lot of lobster,you can see they were
00:14:55.022 --> 00:14:57.091
kind of coming out,lobster come out.
00:14:57.124 --> 00:14:59.193
These are more crayfish,but they're--
00:14:59.226 --> 00:15:01.195
they call themspiny lobsters here.
00:15:01.228 --> 00:15:03.531
This one has a lot ofwhite on it, it's very pretty.
00:15:03.564 --> 00:15:06.433
Look at this thing.
00:15:06.467 --> 00:15:08.869
We've got a crab,this is really cool.
00:15:08.903 --> 00:15:12.940
He's eating, grabbingthings off the coral,
00:15:13.707 --> 00:15:15.576
and putting them in his mouth.
00:15:15.609 --> 00:15:17.678
Rob, do you think this might bea good time and place to try
00:15:17.711 --> 00:15:20.848
and turn off the lightsand see what we see?
00:15:20.881 --> 00:15:23.217
Come over here onto the sandbar.
00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:26.220
And you said, "Let's allstop and turn the lights off."
00:15:26.253 --> 00:15:29.890
Like, well, that'sprobably not a good idea.
00:15:29.924 --> 00:15:32.793
We just turned the lights out,and it is a little frightening
00:15:32.827 --> 00:15:37.565
down here with no lights.
00:15:37.598 --> 00:15:39.834
But when our eyes adjust, we'llsee if we can see anything.
00:15:39.867 --> 00:15:44.138
Robert: It was a flat glasssea, cloudless sky
00:15:45.306 --> 00:15:49.944
with a full moon.
00:15:49.977 --> 00:15:51.912
And what happened whenwe turned our lights off?
00:15:51.946 --> 00:15:54.014
Jim: Once our eyes gotadjusted, it's like you didn't
00:15:54.048 --> 00:15:56.483
need lights anymore.
00:15:56.517 --> 00:15:58.719
I tilted my GoPro up at themoon and it's really bright.
00:15:58.752 --> 00:16:02.590
It might not come through thatbright on the video, but it is
00:16:02.623 --> 00:16:06.393
really amazing how bright itgets, especially
00:16:06.427 --> 00:16:09.830
when you start to letyour eyes adjust.
00:16:09.864 --> 00:16:13.267
Robert: Something I'd neverseen before from underwater,
00:16:13.300 --> 00:16:15.202
though, because it was so clear,okay, you can see the moon,
00:16:15.236 --> 00:16:18.005
that was neat, but I also sawMars and Jupiter
00:16:18.038 --> 00:16:22.276
from underwater looking up.
00:16:22.309 --> 00:16:24.478
I had never seen that before.
00:16:24.511 --> 00:16:25.946
I was like, "That's Jupiter.There's Mars.
00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:27.548
There's the moon."
00:16:27.581 --> 00:16:28.883
Jim: That's amazing.
00:16:28.916 --> 00:16:30.885
Well, shall we continuewith the lights back on?
00:16:30.918 --> 00:16:34.121
There's a lot more movingon this reef tonight
00:16:34.154 --> 00:16:37.658
than I saw during the day.
00:16:37.691 --> 00:16:39.627
Robert: Oh, there'ssome staghorn coral.
00:16:39.660 --> 00:16:42.329
Jim: Those are so brightand orange, like neon at night.
00:16:42.363 --> 00:16:46.867
The Bible says that God spoke,and these things
00:16:46.901 --> 00:16:50.537
came into existence.
00:16:50.571 --> 00:16:52.406
It is amazing.
00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:55.009
The psalmist said, "At the worksof your hands, I sing for joy."
00:16:55.042 --> 00:17:00.180
Nurse shark, nurseshark down here.
00:17:00.214 --> 00:17:02.249
He's sleeping.
00:17:02.283 --> 00:17:03.884
Now, that's prettyscary actually.
00:17:03.918 --> 00:17:06.520
It's very intense becausethe ocean's full of things
00:17:06.553 --> 00:17:09.723
that can harm you.
00:17:09.757 --> 00:17:11.692
Robert: Andyou can't see them.
00:17:11.725 --> 00:17:13.627
Jim: You can't.
00:17:13.661 --> 00:17:15.262
You're going into theocean and you cannot see.
00:17:15.296 --> 00:17:16.997
Now, we carry flashlights,but still you can't shine
00:17:17.031 --> 00:17:20.334
the light in every direction.
00:17:20.367 --> 00:17:21.869
So, I kept thinking,"What is behind me?"
00:17:21.902 --> 00:17:23.737
this whole time.
00:17:23.771 --> 00:17:25.306
Robert: And knowing thatthere are lots of sharks,
00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:26.807
and we saw several sharkson that dive.
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:28.676
You know, you got to wonder.
00:17:28.709 --> 00:17:30.311
Jim: We got a turtle rightwith the shark,
00:17:30.344 --> 00:17:32.546
turtle and a shark.
00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:36.116
He's trying to wipe offhis face with his flipper.
00:17:45.459 --> 00:17:47.795
That was really cool.
00:17:47.828 --> 00:17:50.564
Robert: He had to getthe sleep out of his eyes.
00:17:50.597 --> 00:17:52.766
Jim: They're coolin the daytime,
00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:54.234
but at night they'rereally special.
00:17:54.268 --> 00:17:57.137
The turtle just wantsto get back to bed
00:17:57.171 --> 00:17:59.239
and we are keeping him up.
00:17:59.273 --> 00:18:02.242
There's a little ray.
00:18:02.910 --> 00:18:05.946
Rays eat by sucking upthe sand and the debris.
00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:10.751
And whatever creature's in therewill come up inside of him
00:18:10.784 --> 00:18:14.421
and he has a nice meal.
00:18:14.455 --> 00:18:17.491
Hey, we've gotanother turtle here.
00:18:17.524 --> 00:18:19.560
Sleeping turtle,sleeping turtle.
00:18:19.593 --> 00:18:23.330
The turtle does not lookhappy that we woke him up.
00:18:23.364 --> 00:18:26.767
He looks really grumpy.
00:18:26.800 --> 00:18:28.802
We've seen threesleeping sea turtles,
00:18:28.836 --> 00:18:30.437
so this is definitely worth it.
00:18:30.471 --> 00:18:32.506
Turtle, another turtle.
00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:34.608
This is numberthree or number four?
00:18:34.641 --> 00:18:38.645
We have an eel, a moray eel.
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:54.328
Robert: Just as always,it looks grumpy.
00:18:54.361 --> 00:18:58.232
It really is unbelievablethat we're able to do this.
00:18:58.265 --> 00:19:01.001
Man has invented all theseincredible things that work
00:19:01.035 --> 00:19:04.238

00:19:04.271 --> 00:19:08.709
Jim: I agree, this is justa wonderful experience,
00:19:08.742 --> 00:19:11.578
really cool.
00:19:11.612 --> 00:19:14.481
Topside, we are finished withthe dive and we're coming in.
00:19:14.515 --> 00:19:18.085
What an amazingadventure we've been on.
00:19:25.059 --> 00:19:27.294
And that night dive was kindof scary, but kind of cool.
00:19:27.327 --> 00:19:30.697
And you know whatit reminds me of?
00:19:30.731 --> 00:19:32.533
No matter what place you arein life and no matter
00:19:32.566 --> 00:19:35.903
how dark it seems,God is with you.
00:19:35.936 --> 00:19:39.473
And that will get you throughthe darkest times
00:19:39.506 --> 00:19:41.608
and the worst situations.
00:19:41.642 --> 00:19:44.178
When you start to realize howamazing God is and his creative
00:19:44.211 --> 00:19:47.314
genius and just the beautythat surrounds us, you start to
00:19:47.347 --> 00:19:51.585
realize that if this God whocould speak all of this into
00:19:51.618 --> 00:19:55.022
existence like that lovesme, I'm going to be okay.
00:19:55.055 --> 00:20:00.294
You know, God does love you.
00:20:00.327 --> 00:20:02.096
God so loved the world, hegave his only begotten Son,
00:20:02.129 --> 00:20:05.466
that whosoever believeth in himshould not perish,
00:20:05.499 --> 00:20:09.203
but have everlasting life.
00:20:09.236 --> 00:20:11.705
Every time I hear those wordsof John 3:16, I'm amazed again
00:20:11.738 --> 00:20:16.343
at how God could possiblylove me 'cause I'm a sinner.
00:20:16.376 --> 00:20:20.180
And I don't deserve God'slove, but you know what?
00:20:20.214 --> 00:20:23.550
That's what grace is.
00:20:23.584 --> 00:20:25.185
Grace is God saying, "Look,you don't deserve it,
00:20:25.219 --> 00:20:27.454
but I love you, and I'm going tosend my Son to redeem you."
00:20:27.488 --> 00:20:30.791
The creator coming to die atthe hands of the creature?
00:20:30.824 --> 00:20:34.628
It's incredible, butthat is the gospel.
00:20:34.661 --> 00:20:37.030
Jesus died for you ona cross, he rose again.
00:20:37.064 --> 00:20:40.134
And if you'll simplyaccept that gift, how?
00:20:40.167 --> 00:20:43.237
Believing in him,trusting in him.
00:20:43.270 --> 00:20:45.539
It's not by our works, it'snot by our religion, it's by
00:20:45.572 --> 00:20:48.108
trusting that Jesus, the Sonof God, died for our sins
00:20:48.142 --> 00:20:52.146
and rose from the dead.
00:20:52.179 --> 00:20:53.847
And if you'll believe in him,the Bible says you have, present
00:20:53.881 --> 00:20:57.751
