Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- We spend five days on tropical island, Utila learning to SCUBA dive at the Utila Dive Center. We had the best time breathing under water, exploring the coral reef, and swimming with dolphins! This travel vlog shares our experience learning to dive as well as taking the ferry to the island from mainland Honduras and spending time in the town of Utila.
Huge thanks to Utila Dive Center for hooking us up with this rad experience:

Something interesting about the Bay Islands is we actually used to be part of British Honduras a few hundred years ago. That’s why most of the people there speak English so fluently.
Wow closing in on 10000 subscribers. Another great video guys.
Looks stunning trip to Utila and welcome to an amazing soort
Matt, I'm glad you are keeping the moustache in focus, a lot of folk tell me to shave my 70s relic off, but I've had it for nearly 50years, and my lovely wife said " No " she has never seen me without it, stay safe and healthy 😀🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
jimrodda thanks. I mix it up from time to time but the stache always comes back
You were so lucky to get certified in the Caribbean! I got certified in a Texas lake. Not a great 'first dive' experience. But, from then on it was crystal clear waters in our new Belize home. No matter where or how the PADI gets done, if you are anything like me, you'll be underwater as much as absolutely possible for the rest of your lives. So addictive!
We are super fortunate. It was a great experience. I've done a lot more diving around the Channel Islands in Southern California since then by working as a captain on a dive boat. Cool different experience, but definitely prefer the warm water 😁
Superb guys!
Wow, was this done recently??? I have not dove in -8-10yrs and looking forward to starting again once this virus settles and I move to Hawaii, planning around Dec 2020. Is there a big bleaching there? The whole reef looked very healthy?
Aloha Mario this was filmed about 2 years ago, but no signs of bleaching on any of the reefs that we had seen. Lots of cool soft corals that we didn’t see much of when living in Hawaii👍
Awesome and thanks!
Neat video, looked like fun time. Could only imagine Amie what you thought when that guy walked behind you. Your expression pretty much said it all.
Russ
😂 haha yeah you could definitely see what she thought of him
Awesome trip to Utila guys! I am surprised that water oriented folks like yourselves were not already Certified SCUBA Divers. I did my first Certification in 1968! Been diving ever since, although lately Skin Diving and Snorkeling for the most part. Great skill to have and enjoy! Utila was a place we considered for retirement, but we decided we would have to work with tourists some how to afford it, so, no thanks. Great place to visit though. Thanks
Yeah. We always snorkeled, but this is definitely a fun new way to experience the oceans we love
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Absolutely! After living on Isla Mujeres for so long, I am pretty safe in assuming my SCUBA Days are over pretty much, and I will happily Snorkel any time I can. I did throw on a tank last year to recover an anchor for my friend because he needed to be dealing with the boat while I was getting it out of the crevice it lodged itself in. Earned a really nice Dinner from that one!
Way cool. Honduras agrees with you. Jerky for Jaeger. :-)
Love the video, also the dude's stache'! Subscribed!
Hey guys!...Thanks for sharing this awesome video of our little sister island(i'm from Roatan)
I like the video bombed dude 10:46 he was funny,lol.
Anyhow,I am glad you are having or had fun,cause i know this was filmed before this shit show virus.
Stay safe out there and do you think you can edit the videos to make them a little longer?!
We can sure use the distraction right now but if you can't,its cool,no worries.
Cheers!
glennsteven 0917 thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. This is on the shorter side for our videos, most are around 20 minutes. But I’ll consider doing longer virus-length episodes 😉
@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal Thank you so much!
Is there a map showing your whole travel route? The map in the beginning genuinely helps relate where the adventure is at
Yeah. Scroll down on our home page: www.thetravelingtogetherjournal.com
It shows our rout and each of the pins is a video filmed in that area.
The Traveling Together Journal thank you I will, I just caught the t shirt info too at the end of a video, onto etsy too!
If you guys ever get a chance to go back Honduras take a trip to all of The Bay Islands and when you stop in Guanaja take a trip to Susan. She’s the lady that found the full T Rex fossil “Sue”
Wanna go there
Love it!!👍👍👆👆👆👆👆👆
"Almost as big as your head", as soon as Matt picked that monster burrito thing up I thought that's as big as Matt's head. Looked delicious too, the boleada, not Matt's head.
Glenn Courtney hahaha. It was tasty. We tried some other spots, but that place was the best (and biggest) boleada
Diving is fine, but I think surfing is better. Just to get out and do anything at this point in time would be good.
Grahame S I agree 100%
How much does it cost?
Beautiful scuba trip! Cant wait to try it out once this COVID time thing is all over! Check out our channel if you get a chance. We are newbies so do not mind the cringe factor 😬 Virtual travel is getting us through this tough time. So thanks for the content reload ❤️
