New face on UA-cam but a VETERAN in the Outdoor Adventures. Lets go!
My first real outdoor adventure happened over 20 years ago on a 23-day expedition to Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in the Americas, standing at a staggering 7,000 meters. That climb sparked something in me, and I’ve been chasing summits and outdoor thrills ever since. Next came an 11-day journey to conquer Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, followed by Mont Blanc in France. And the mountains were just the beginning.
Soon, my passions expanded from the peaks to the depths. I discovered snorkeling, freediving, and scuba diving-exploring underwater worlds across nearly every continent. If there was water, I wanted to be in it.
Along the way, I fell in love with rock climbing, kayaking, and countless other outdoor pursuits, each one opening up new ways to connect with nature. Eventually, I realised that my true passion wasn’t just one sport or place-it was nature itself, and every adventure it offers.

Such great cinematography and music selection!
Thank you Diogo I’m glad you liked it 🥰 I’m already working on the next one
Amazing video and great storytelling only a matter of time and consistency until your channel is famous
Thank you Diego Now I took 6 months off from work, moved to the Philippines to have way more adventures 🕺🏽👊
@ incredible I moved to Alaska and am trying to have more adventures too
This should be longer! its awesome.
Thank you Elliot That means a lot 👊

Playing dead is a good idea until a shark is trying a test bite on you. Slight energy saving movements I would recommend.
Haha yummy Then it’s not playing anymore
Same thing happened to me with the addition of increased chop dropping water into my snorkel. Don’t use a cheap snorkel.. get one with a water stop on top.
@dogstar84 im literally editing a video about a snorkeling adventure i had last week, in a choppy sea, and my snorkel didn’t have the water stop and i drunk lots of water. I have got it from a frediver and i don’t know why but free diving people have this snorkels super basic models
Learn how to look up at the sky to clear a snorkel
Panic will kill you. Swim parallel to the shoreline and eventually you will get out of the current.
You are the second person that is telling me that. Have you had a bad experience as well?
Rip currents on a beach, where current goes out to sea, are always surrounded on either side by larger bodies of water slowly going in. The easy way out is always parallel to the shore.
In Australia, we're taught from a very young age that if you're in a rip (current) that is heading from the beach and out to sea, swim parallel to the beach ie. Not toward the beach, or away from the beach, but to the side. The current is only so wide, so you want to exit out of the side of it. This way you can get out of the rip before its taken you to the end of the rip (and your swim back won't be quite as long). I have a story where this wasn't possible though. It was a cove where big natural boulders were a natural barrier between the beach and the open ocean, with only a few gaps. These gaps act like plugholes though and as I was snorkelling near one I realised the water was being sucked out through the gap to the open ocean. The boulders were so big that if I was sucked out, the people on the beach wouldn't have seen me on the other side. I couldnt completely swim out the side of the rip because there were boulders randomly through the water. Thankfully I had flippers on and just kicked my legs as hard and fast as I could toward the beach, and managed to beat the current. If I wasnt wearing flippers (eg. If I was just swimming) then I would have been sucked out a small gap in the rocks to the open ocean. So my flippers saved me for sure. If you can, combine both methods; always wear flippers, and swim calmly parallel to the beach (or out of the side of the current). Also avoid going anywhere near plugholes between rocks!
Wow What a story. Experience I never faced something similar. And you guys in Australia have a much better understanding gig The water compare to us. Mind you. I’m Brazilian but from a big city. Not that close to the sea
@NatureTrips yes but what you say is true - staying calm and logical is very important for anything that goes wrong when snorkelling. I sometimes get disoriented about my location, or tired, or have had issues with cheap snorkels getting a leak. I just float on my back to have a bit of a break and a breather. Rips can be a good thing sometimes. Your Brazilian surfers like our Australian surfers use the rip to get to the back of the waves quickly. It's like a conveyer belt 😂 They sit on the beach watching how the water moves before they go in, which is something we should all do. And if you ever come to Australia to snorkel, visit Coral Bay (Western Australia). It has a current that runs PARALLEL to the beach 😃👌 You enter at one end of the beach, and then just float over all the coral and fish (you don't even need to kick your feet at all!), and you finish at the other end of the beach. It doesn't drag you out to sea at all, just to a safe shallow area where kids swim. So not all rips/currents are dangerous. Stay calm, stay logical. Happy snorkelling! 🤿
Thanks for sharing mate - really insightful. Ill be taking me girlfriend on her first snorkeling experience soon and this has reminded me to spend the first few sessions just practicing the dead mans float. You know, at the end of the day it doesnt matter whether there was a tide pushing you out or not, all that matters is that you identified the panic, separated yourself from it and tamed it. Well done.
Exactly that mate. To distance yourself from the panic is HUGE. I’m glad for You and you gf. I hope you two have fun and she falls in love with snorkeling ❤️
@NatureTrips thanks brother! Happy times under the sea!
Something very similar happened to me here in Ireland. I had to control my breathing in very rough cold water, by laying on my back and looking at the sky until i could regulate my breathing. I then like you conserved energy by floating and very slowly swimming to an island. It saved my life without a doubt.
Jeez man…what caused you to feel the “panic” in the first place, was it the current as well??
@@NatureTrips The conditions dramatically changed and I was half way around a 3 mile long Island, with deep water. The waves smashed me until my body basically shutdown from exhaustion and I went under water. It was very close call. But staying calm, floating for awhile and slowly swimming onto the island kept me in one piece
good.
Sir it's very nice channel.. Good job.
Thank you Mr. 🔥
Great, don't let fear stop you from exploring the beauty around you. Knowledge is power 😊
Never ever 👊
Nc bro❤
I had a lucky day today ❤️
@NatureTrips where did you go snorkeling?
I wish I've watched this before 🤦🏽♀️
On the bright side, I still have my camera and I learned from your mistake. Thank you hahaha
Thanks for the tips. I’ve been stung by jellyfish a few times before. It’s not fun.
My pleasure 😊 I hope it doesn’t happen again. I’m literally going snorkeling tomorrow; and my long sleeve tshirt is already ready in the backpack 👊
I dd free diving in moalboal last august and i am surely go back next year 😍
I’m thinking about going back there now this December 😱 but I have heard about a similar place in Bohol so I’ll give Bohol a try first
Cool video!!
Thank you mate 👊
Like to him
Thank you Angela 😊
Great advice
I’m glad it was helpful 👊
Very good advice!!! 👍👍
I’m glad it helped 😊
this looks really fun to do with a friend
Hahaha it is indeed
Love this video! :D
Thank you. Very kind of you 😊
Wow!!! Can't wait to go there!
Oh man. Coron, if you are going there you have to go to this place. Mind you, if you go on a normal tour to Barracuda Lake, they don’t allow you to go to this session I made the shots. You have to with a free diving tour. My video about Coron, talks about that 😉ua-cam.com/video/xNB6D0mBjJA/v-deo.htmlsi=LtXtVHprZdxoSXuz
This video is very useful for anyone who wants to start snorkeling. I understood that the snorkel has a valve at the top that closes when you dive into the water. Thus, I think, that there is a reserve of air in the snorkel (along the length of the tube). Correct? I have a beginner's question: Approximately, how long can a person last under water (e.g. at a depth of 4 m) with the snorkel tube in his mouth (using the air reserve, which I referred to above)? Thank you.
I’m glad that this guide helped you. And your question is not silly at all, I get this one all the time: the air in the tube is ridiculously small, don’t even count with that air. Once you go underwater you have no air. Full stop. And how long can a person last? It varies from person to person (boring answer, I know 😊) for me for example, when I’m going on my first snorkeling session after months without doing it, the first duck dive I can only stay for 40seconds. I’m usually anxious. Nervous because it’s been a while I don’t do it. After 3 duck dives, I get all relaxed and from 40 seconds it goes to 1min and 20 seconds. But there are people that can stay up to 13minutes underwater. Crazy. I will release a video this weekend talking about this people. I hope it answers your question.
@@NatureTrips In this situation (without having a reserve of air in the snorkel) to explore at a depth of max. 10 m, fins (and swimming goggles in the pool) would be more useful than a snorkel. On the surface, I don't need a snorkel to look at the bottom of the sea. Thank you very much and I can't wait for the video about the supermen who last 13 minutes under water.
@cristy2636 I would agree with you, but there is something else that it’s important for you to take into consideration consideration. When you are back to the surface, and you are resting, catching your breath, its way more effective to just stay there, laying down on the surface, with your face in the water breathing through the snorkel. As opposed to not having it and you have to keep “swimming” to stay with your face out of the water. But at the end of the day you are right, the snorkel is to help when you are in the surface, not when you are underwater 😉
Video about the 13min supermen finally released :) I hope you enjoy it.
@@NatureTrips Excellent. I saw the video. These are supermen! Thank you.
Amazing video, randomly popped up in my feed. Guess because I'm preparing for my vacation in the Philippines. Hope you get the attention you deserve. Can you tell me what is a must-see in and around Cebu ? I'm there for 2 weeks.
This comment makes me so happy. You have no idea. Thank you for that. I have a Cebu guide video, look here: ua-cam.com/video/xnp9UtqSw7I/v-deo.htmlsi=qUr19gGFnZNAAgae
@@NatureTrips Thank you!
@__Ruslan__ and if you want to explore other regions in the Philippines I have this video that touches briefly on 6 regions and what which one of them has to offer from a Outfoor Adventure perspective ua-cam.com/video/ugOvIHuWOlI/v-deo.htmlsi=tnexOTrSve71wWVF
Maravilha, Dé! Obrigada por compartilhar seu aprendizado e especialmente dicas preciosas. E vale a metáfora, não só para as aventuras especiais e escaladas, mas para a vida. Reveja uma a uma das dicas e verá que faz todo sentido. Muito legal! Bora pra frente que tem muito mais a fazer! ❤
yay que bom que voce curtiu Val. E depois de ler o que vc sugeriu, eu parei pra pensar e realmente... voce tem razao. Eu tenho que pensar mais a respeito, porque o pouco que pensei ja "doeu" hehe Enquanto isso, assista Mountain Queen... esta no Netfrix, e eu acho que desses filmes ai, eh o que voce vai curtir mais.
Thanks for this
My pleasure 😎
Really captured the feeling of hiking. The views are just gorgeous 💙
Thank you 😊 I’m glad you liked it
I get goosebumps watching this! Can't wait for more videos from you!
Broo your underwater shots are a Movie !!!
ah man, thank you for that. That makes me happy :)
Amazing video! Can't wait to go back!
Me too man. Me too 🥹
Okay first of all you are super likeable so you shouldn’t worry much about not having friends. Secondly, the video is well filmed and it only needs a better articulation for example you list down the points on the screen before explaining them one by one and then giving examples of your own experiences and how you overcame the fear.
Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate that
Amazing video. I hope your channel grows really fast
Thank you. I really appreciate that ❤️
Use an inflatable vest no matter what…. We don’t belong to the ocean…we don’t have gills….profesional divers and swimmers drown too.
If you always use an inflatable vest, then you will miss some amazing experiences that live underwater, not to mention that you will never be able to progress your snorkeling to free diving ;) It's all about taking measured, managed risks. I definitely DO NOT recommend people to take more risks that they can manage.
hello, hmm Im curious how you started breathing calmly after panic attack if you were underwater? i dont get it please explain this to me :D
That is a very good question. Almost impossible to explain. You could call instinct. Maybe. I felt for the first time that if I carried on panicking, I would die. And when that thought came to me, i immediately calmed down. That happened to me a few times after that. In different occasions and sports.
@@NatureTrips alright thank you for answer :)
@@NatureTrips I don't get it. you panicked, recovered, normalized and started breathing again - how do you breath while diving with a snorkel?
When I calmed down I just floated. And I was there floating. In the surface. With my snorkel in the mouth, my face in the water, just calmly breathing. That’s all.
By the way, if you folks want we can have a Video Call and I’ll be more than happy to further explain everything you want to know about snorkeling 👊
Thanks so much it was very helpful
Im glad to hear that 😀
Dajungan Island can be nice for you. It's a cute island nearby Negros, sipalay sugar beach
I spent 6 months in the Philippines and it wasn’t enough. I definitely need to go back 🥹
Can you visit the island, or atleast the other side even though it's a private property?
Well, in my experience you can’t. But if you go there with kayak and don’t leave the kayak. Then the police wouldn’t have a problem.
Man it sucks Pinagbuyutan island is private already, i wanted to take my grandma there. Capitalism ruins everything
Don’t tell me about it. To this day is one of my favorite places in the world
Hey man isnt Pinagbuyutan island private property since last year and that visitors can no longer go there?
True :( I have made a long format video telling about my story when I went there and the police came to talk to me 😱
superb videography!!!!
Thanks a ton 🥰
The entire Krabi Province is my favourite part of Thailand - remember that Koh Phi Phi is also part of Krabi Province as well
Can’t wait to go back there ❤️
Your cinematography is definitely outstanding. Bravo
