Ambient Palos Verdes Harbor Seals and Kelp Forest
By Andre Navarro of Ocean Earth Green
The gorgeous cloudy ocean sky slowly passes over the sunset waters. The ocean glimmers with the peaking sun making the surface into a living impressionist painting. The views from Flat Rock Point of Bluff Cove, Palos Verdes Estates are amazing and make my imagination run wild. From the dreamy ocean horizon to the towering shore cliffs to the Kelp Forest peaking out from the shore's depths.
The soothing ocean energy sways back and forth gently, creating hundreds of tine ripples and bubbles along Flat Rock. The jagged reefs edge carves into the soft water as a round and stealth Harbor Seal passes by. The view from below Flat Rock staring into the ocean sky is always peaceful and heartwarming. Watching the cute Harbor Seals circle as they jump on and off into the water as the surrounding seaweeds softly sway.
The warm bright orange sun penetrates the thick swaying kelp, illuminating the ocean like disco lights. The gentle movement never stops, nor does the beauty as it constantly changes yet stays the same. The ocean life below the Kelp Forest has a breath taking view. I often wonder if the fish or larger marine mammals understand how magical it is. I would love to spend a day at the bottom of the ocean just looking up through the kelp and watching the sun as it dances through the water.
The need for shelter below the bottom algae and kelp filled reefs is met with a calm presence. The view from under the jagged reefs over the soft sand is serene and unique. Watching the kelp and seaweeds constantly swaying as the local fish slowly swim by. The California Spiny Lobster has an amazing view next to the Abalones and neighboring Garibaldi Damselfish. They rest In the daytime, occasionally changing positions as they await night to forage for food.
These are some descriptions of the visuals from Ambient Palos Verdes, Harbor Seals and Kelp Forest that words can barely describe. Watch amazing and unique ocean views set to relaxing meditative music. When I watch the world through the ocean, my thought processes begin to change.

I am Andre Navarro, Southern California adventurer and freediver. I was born in San Pedro California and grew up in Long Beach California where I graduated Millikan HS class of 93 and attended Long Beach City College for Art, Drawing and Painting. After obtaining an Associates Degree for Art and a semester away from transferring to Cal State Long Beach to continue in Art, I joined the LA County Sheriff's Department as a Custody Assistant (County Jail Guard). Approximately a year later I promoted to Sheriff Deputy where I worked custody and patrol assignments. After working law enforcement for roughly 9 years and having a son and daughter during this time, I came to the hard decision that long term this career was not for me. Shortly after ending the law enforcement chapter in my life, I began a new one in industrial machinery and conveyor belting distribution where I worked for 14 years in several positions including: fabrication and installation, purchasing, business development and sales management .
Recently in June of 2019, I left this position for another major direction change in my life. During my management years, I was sent to Mexico and the Ukraine to help recruit and train international employees. This is where I fell in love with traveling and experiencing different cultures. And this is also when I began freediving exotic locations on the weekends. I have always loved being in the ocean since a child and began bodyboarding young. Way later I began snorkeling on the downtime when there were no waves. This morphed into freediving which I do today. I also love to hike, camp and explore. In the last 3 years I began making videos of my explorations on land and now mostly in freediving. After leaving my last job of 14 years, I made the decision to spend approximately 1 year traveling, diving and making videos of my adventures while trying to figure out a possible way of making a living at this. I have realized there is an immediate and important need for ocean conservation and education while there is a major lack of understanding about our local coasts, ocean and it's life. Through my videos, my goal is to take everyone with me over land, air and into the ocean to experience all its beauty, life and importance.
