    I’d be way too afraid to scuba dive, but this is awesome for people who’d want to!

    I'm like Aaron, I absolutely love the water but have that fear of breathing/not being able to breath under water, and get a little panicked when I think about it. I'm glad I'm not alone and I'm also glad to see you can get over that fear and really enjoy it :) I hope you get to see those sharks!

    • @VeganVoyagers
      @VeganVoyagers  4 роки тому +1

      No sharks yet 😭 but fortunately this is just the beginning of our dive career! You definitely need to retrain your brain to be comfortable underwater. It’s a wild mind game!

    Eeeks the snake! I’m thinking things have changed a lot from my 2 hour padi certification in Dominican Republic 25 yrs ago then... lol my training was nothing like that. Although I was worried as I do also get sea sick and in Jamaica the waves were insane but they convinced me as once you get below the surface you don’t feel the waves anymore, which was true. I’m a big girl and I needed a TON of weights too, I had a hard time climbing out of the boat wearing the weights and gear. I totally get it. I’ve only been scuba diving twice, but I really enjoyed it. So excited for you and cool to know there’s a deeper cover for the go pro I’ll have to look into that :) so excited to see your next video on this!

    EEK, the snake would make our hearts skip a beat! April would like to learn how to scuba dive, though it makes her nervous (she isn't as confident as me in the water). I am Advanced Nitrox with Rescue Diver PADI certified. I can no longer dive though, sadly--sustained damage in a dive accident over 15 years ago. I miss it! Whoa, cool lightning. Oh, ok--the "snake" is an eel! Still though... I ran out of oxygen at 110 feet down and couldn't find my dive buddy so I had to get to the surface from there! April is not so sure now if she wants to get certified after watching this, haha--SO much to learn and kind of scary at times!

    Learning how to help with a leg cramp is an interesting one. I wouldn't have thought of that but it makes a lot of sense you had to learn that. Awesome lighting, that would have been great for some super cool photography. The water was so blue, did you use a filter?

    • @VeganVoyagers
      @VeganVoyagers  4 роки тому

      No filter on the camera but a little post processing. It’s actually crazy because you lose red pretty quickly under water and we may need a filter to add that back in.

    Scuba diving looks fun, but it is scary too. I heard a horror story of a local boy who came up too fast and blew out his lungs. So much to remember, but you guys did it awesome.

    • @VeganVoyagers
      @VeganVoyagers  4 роки тому

      Well, that's terrifying! Haha, yes there are definitely a lot of VERY important things to remember, but it seems like once we get the hang of it, we'll never want to come back to the surface!
