Parakeet goes snorkeling in Bahamas with homemade submarine

The viral video drew nearly 600,000 likes in two days as owner Steven Lawyer said Bebe voluntarily entered the tube.

  • While vacationing in the Bahamas, Steven Lawyer took his 6-year-old parakeet, Bebe, snorkeling using a homemade submarine he calls the 'Bebosphere'.
  • With 15 skydiving jumps under his wings and annual statewide bicycle trips in Iowa, Bebe and Lawyer sought new adventures during their extended Bahamas getaway.
  • Constructed from a food-grade plastic container and a 3,000 PSI paintball air cylinder, the 'Bebosphere' includes an oxygen meter and lead weights, allowing Bebe to bob safely about 3 feet from the surface.
  • Garnering nearly 600,000 likes in two days, the snorkeling video sparked thousands of comments, including one writing, 'The literal exact opposite place bro is meant to be,' which earned more than 40,000 likes.
  • Lawyer debunked claims the video was AI-generated by demonstrating the 'Bebosphere,' stating he is glad people are getting a kick out of Bebe's activities despite the unexpected viral reaction.
