I do the opposite, I always keep the snorkel in my mouth when diving so I do not breath so close to the surface and swallow, or inhale, water. Instead, as I surface, I roll over slightly so my snorkel is pointing down and gently release air forcing the water our of the snorkel until a few bubbles escape. Then, upon surfacing I roll back face down and ensure I have a clear snorkel, clearing it only if necessary.

Another great video! Love the time put into your story telling (script writing) that in itself is what got me hooked on you in the beginning when you started your adventure up the Great Barrier reef. As great as the Mediterranean is and it really is a beautiful place. I honestly cannot wait for you to sail French Polynesia with the Society,Tuamotus, and Marquesas Islands, and then the Kingdom of Tonga where you can swim with the whales. 😊

Great video guys. My girls loved the pigs and didn't know they could swim! The stingrays were another big higlight too as they've seen those at Sea World and think its amazing you got to swim with them! Hope you manage to avoid the hurricanes - Florida got hit this past week (Not sure how far behind the video is). The reef's looked amazing - you got some great shots there. Enjoy Europe - our neck of the woods but doubt you're going anywhere near the UK lol. Very exciting though you get a new boat and go round the Med. Should be fantastic for you!

@KristinasTravels 9 ай бұрын

Thanks MrWitheridge! We dodged they hurricanes fortunately, we are a few months behind on the videos. The reef was some of the best we’d seen, but it wasn’t like that all over the Abaco’s so lucky we found it : ) won’t quite make it to the Uk this trip but it’s on our radar 😉

While animals and their babies are cute it pays to be cautious and also to do a bit of research or bring a guide when encountering animals you are not familiar with. Even if you are experienced remember that Steve animal film guy got a stingray barb in his chest and it killed him. You can also have a fun time when papa is around and it is mating season. Everything is a target and/or competition. Some animals you do not want to have food around because they can be very aggressive about obtaining said food and others might not distinguish between you and the food.

I think you guys should have kept the boat. You obviously are not finished wuith this part of your lives and I think at some point you will probably go back to the work environment more. I am not sure though, but that what it seems like to me. You are caught between both worlds right now and just need to make a decision. Good luck. Ill be watching as always

@KristinasTravels 9 ай бұрын

That’s very insightful of you Ray and I think you hit the nail on the head. The decision to sell the boat was mostly because at that time John wasn’t able to get enough time away from work (unless he was prepared to resign) to make it worthwhile keeping the boat and we had an opportunity to do some sailing on our friends boats with Navigare yachting so decided that was the best option at the time. Had we known John was going to be able to access part time we may well have kept her, she was such a nice boat and we were really only just settling into her. Having said that we’re so grateful to have been able to be freed up to experience sailing in Australia, Greece, Bahamas, and soon the western med (Spain, Italy & France) on some really nice boats 😃 Thanks for the message and we’ll wishes Ray! ☺️

Hey! Oh this was a few months ago, we’re a little behind on the episodes 😉 we’ve done some scuba diving before, John use to work on a dive shop actually, but we didn’t get around to organising a dive this time, trying to get into freediving, less hassle with gear etc while out sailing.. but we do love it!
