i doubt you guys will see this, but if you do, a flashlight is a great tool for checking eggs to determine if they have started to develop. you put the egg right up to the lens of a bright flashlight and you should be able to tell if it's growing or not.
most likely any flashlight you have onboard will be powerful enough.
if i were you i would get a small flashlight to take with when going to local markets, just in case you decide to buy eggs.
oh, and remember, just because there's no visible growth now, doesn't mean there won't be in a week or 2. because most eggs you find at local markets are fertilized.
The wife and I were able to do 8 dives on that wreck all progressively deeper. What a spectacular wreck. On a sad note the owner of Allan Power dive shop passed away early December. He told me he bought that land in front of the wreck in the early 1970 and put down roots on the island
He was driving divers and training dive masters for 38 years. He never got certified as a diver. He will be missed.
Aww. So sad to hear. Thanks for sharing. He was driving us to the wreck from his house when we were there a few months ago. An absolute legend. So grateful to have had the chance to meet him. He loved that wreck. Awesome guy!
I enjoy all your videos...but, as a diver, I think this was my favorite. And as the son of a WW II vet, I found it fascinating. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
All I can say is, please keep this hard work up. So many people, including myself are so questionable about the world we live in. You both bring a glimpse of that. I honestly think i'm watching national geographic when looking at your videos.
Thanks mark! Sometimes people think creators like us don’t read the comment section. It’s people like you who are watching & commenting that make sharing this journey so much fun. Thank you.
Both of you are always full of energy and your videos are entertaining and educational, Ashley always makes me laugh and smile with her goofy ways. I mean this in the nicest way.
I know you like to keep your videos short but DAMN, I wanted MORE!! You two are awesome. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us.
Wreck diving is awesome. Dove on the Hakai, a supply ship, in Rabaul Harbor in New Britain in 1983. Never forget running out of ait at 140ft, buddy breathing to decompress and I was recovering from Malaria at the time. You cannot get enough of it. Now its all under silt due to the volcano erupting on the island.
I had to laugh when I saw your reaction to seeing the toilets all lined up. The WWII US Navy ships used this arrangement in the crew's head. What you might not have noticed was the metal trough that ran beneath the toilet seats in which seawater ran from forward to aft in a constant stream to wash away the poop. This basic system was often used to wad up some TP paper, set it afire, and drop it into the stream...to the surprised dismay of all those downstream. I learned about this joke the hard way.

Thanks for sharing the great adventures. Diving is so wonderful and you have beautiful footage along with the funny entertainment.
Your videos are absolutely amazing... breathtaking... enlightening... I can't tell you how much, I appreciate you sharing your adventures... Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
Thanks for commenting!
Agreed, must do bucket list dive for anyone who loves scuba - I did 13 dives on her about 11 years ago..really need to go back before I get too old!
WOW! That was amazing! My life is wasting away in an 8-5 office job. You guys are living my dreams! Thank you
😳😳😳Man, you guys catch the best fishes and dive the best wrecks ever; more then any other sailing channels that I follow and let me tell you that I follow a lot of channels. I’m glad that I am following you guys!!!!! Great stuff and thanks for sharing....
What a pleasure as always to watch your videos. Thank you guys!!!
Another fantastic video!! Keep them coming guys, we love them!! Merry Christmas Ben and Ash
Another great video. Anxiously awaiting the next one!
Thanks for all your work on these videos. My son and I have watched all the fishing ones. Our family of 6 moves aboard our Ericson 34 in Mexico in 3 weeks and can't wait to try out all the fishing tips 😃.
I'll never get over there to dive and see what y'all saw it looked like an awesome dive... I physically can't travel and my age and my lungs won't allow me to dive unless I Want the dive to be the last thing on this earth I do... That why I get such joy watching videos like yours... Y'all take me places I've never been and never will be able to go physically... Thanks for another great video. I truly enjoyed every moment of it. Well except the egg part I could have lived without seeing that... LOL... It brought back childhood memories life on the farm. We would find an egg now and than that had a baby growing inside of it... For a long time I wouldn't eat eggs until there was a time in my life that, That's all we had to eat was eggs. I didn't like eggs but I hated going to bed hungry three nights in a row....
It's good seeing you kids having fun. Be blessed... BBE..
Bobby Baldeagle. We are so grateful to share this journey with you. You have no idea how much joy it brings to us, you watching our adventures. It’s odd in this world of internet yet real to have you along for the ride!
@@SailingNahoa.. I'm loving it and over joyed.... thank you
Bobby Baldeagle I am with you. I have had adventures, but that time is over. Watching these experiences is like being young again. I too am thankful for being allowed to share this adventure.
Very cool to see the Coolidge! Since you were not obviously in the military one of the most eye opening parts of military service is the bathrooms. Stalls are nonexistent in the Navy. When I first went into basic training (boot camp) I was a bit shocked that you don’t get to take a dump in private!
You just have to learn how to do your business with everyone watching. You try to hold it as long as you can waiting for everyone to leave but that very rarely happens. Eventually you just can’t wait so you learn that private dumps are simply not an option!
Oh well! Go Navy! I wouldn’t trade that time for anything in the world! POW training was definitely the toughest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Especially since I went through that week injured with a scratched cornea. The flight surgeon tried to pull me but then I would have had to go back weeks and start all over again. So I begged him to let me stay in and finish with my company.
My captors singled me out constantly with my eye all bandaged up. They kept reminding me that my injury was not going to get me out of all the real fun stuff like torture and getting the crap kicked out of me.
That was exactly 40 years ago and I still remember that my war criminal number (how you are designated) was 42. Sir! What a grand time! spending a week in a POW compound in the mountains with only a pair of boxer shorts and flight boots. No sox By the way!
You definitely learn allot about yourself! And today my VA medical made it all worth it!
This is a great country! And I’m proud to have served!
I cannot do the things you do so watching was amazing it was so nice to see things that i have never seen and i would like to know how long did that dive take? Again thanks to both of you this really takes me to anther world!!!!
An absolutely great dive; fantastic!
Thank you very much
Too cool... Keep em coming!
I hope I get to buy you two a beer or three someday if you come back to the PNW.
Looks like so much fun. You guys are so luck to see a wreck with all the cool stuff still there. Please ignore the fun police and keep it coming!
I can’t believe you two don’t have more subscribers! You make great videos, you are living the dream! I wish you were my real friends. Love your energy! Merry Christmas to u n yours! See you in SanFrancisco bay where I sail. 😍
What a great video to watch on Christmas Day guys. Your best yet 😊. Merry Christmas
I don't throw this around lightly, I love you guys!

very nice....... Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year guys..... have a safe and wonderful time
..I did a night dive on a DC3 in 90'+.. it was wild...
Where was this wreck exactly? I have to do this before I die! Thanks as always guys!!!!!
What happened to your audio at 7:51 it went from nice before that to sounding like I little kid raging and eating their mic love you guys content by the way and love sailing hope to get to have the same opportunity’s in the future
You’ll couldhave worn us about the eggs. Very nice again thanks.
Ah you got to see nessy. It’s a great dive. Spent a week diving it and could spend another no problem
So interesting i'm amazed at how much ammo is still located on this dive that is scary.
Look but don't touch. It's basic. Love you guys, Merry Christmas.
The Electric Clam was the highlight for me 9:35 !
I have full dive gear and compressor but it’s not easy to use in the middle of Saskatchewan
If Goofy had brains, he would fit with this crew. Love you guys.
Please make a travel guide someday! aka bucket list
What an awesome video!!! Fuel for lobster. I suspect you are just being a good guy, Ben. I am curious about something though. When you are mixing with the villagers (which sounds really awesome by the way) how do you know you are safe?
The living conditions there look strikingly similar to those that I saw in Haiti. I suspect that when you are living with a dollar a day, on average, the conditions were the same no matter where you went in the world. I found the people in Haiti to be beautiful with very strong faith and family values. Now that I think of it, I think I answered my own question about safety. I take it back. I envy you guys. Thank you so much for bringing this to us.
I find your experience with these beautiful people much more fascinating than the dive. Although admittedly, that dive was really awesome as well.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. All the best, Jim Andersen, Cat Boat Adventures, Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
I know you've already been to the Philippines... You should try Balut... LOL
K it’s now on my Bucket List
I've never dived before, but that looked very cool! I suppose those eggs are just what happens in nature. From a Western/urban perspective, where you typically only see eggs from a grocery store, that was freaky!
How does fishing work when you are out sailing... is there no regulations on open water just when you get closer into land?
Woke up to Ashley as a "HotMess" thanks for another great video and Merry Christmas from Niagara wine country Ontario Canada! Have a great New Year ...wherever you are ?
Cheers Eh!
No cake for me, thanks! 😂
Hmmm.That shipwreck dive looked a bit CLAUSTROPHOBIC
for my liking!! Then again I start buggin out if the Friggin
Elevator door takes to long too open! Ha!
Awesome dive.
As far as the toilets i think they where ahead of their time..
Think about it if you have the time you could share the reading
of a book w your neighbor while you poop.
amazing how AFRICAN their village, food and lifestyle is. Sure can see what their roots are. Wish you had posted the GPS coordinates for the wreck dive! :(
Feliz Natal :) :) :)
Awesome and Great.
Is that wreck a war grave?
What an awesome dive ! Personally I would not have trusted the Moray Eel. They have a mean bite and their mouths harbor some pretty bad bacteria so you could get secondary infections that would interrupt your incredible journey . Be well!
N
Please treat war wrecks with the same reverence as you would a cemetery. People met their end there. Also if you continue to nonchalantly handle unexploded ordinance, you might join them.
Treating wrecks as a cemetery? Yes, definitely when there are unrecovered dead still remaining. In this case, there are no dead in the wreck. Two out of roughly 5,340 men died, all of which were recovered from the ship.
Secondly, that wasn't unexploded ordinance... they were spent casings from a large bore gun and no more dangerous than a casing from a 9mm hand gun.
Sorry...I gave you a thumbs down...I would have never been so invasive in a wreck...EVER...and I LOVE these guys. Look, don't touch.
Sorry David: there was unused rifle ammo near the beginning of the dive and unexploded 3 to 4 inch casings with the round still intact. Recommend look again. Why would there be spent rounds neatly stacked! Not positive but that wreck was likely a supply ship. No evidence of guns of any type. A fighting ship would not have aircraft fuel tanks in piles.@@David-ql1hd
GREAT !!!
awesome. I just put it on my travel bucket list ... :o)
Let's go play with the unexploded ordinance ! Yikes !
That wasn't unexploded ordinance... they were spent casings from a large bore gun and no more dangerous than a casing from a 9mm hand gun.
@@David-ql1hd I stopped the video just to check for a comment on this. It looks like the ordanent still had the projectile on the tip?
how do we get on board thanks for all the good vibes
Amazing 💞🇨🇦
I collect bottles hope you got one of them bottles
Diving was great - but did you bake a cake with those eggs?
Another GREAT VID --- Merry X-Mas to the two of you !!!
Q: do you ever have dreams after such dives ?
Ya gotta go dive on Million Dollar Point too in Vanuatu. It's where the Yanks drove millions of dollars worth of equipment off the end of the jetty.
Never ever did I imagine the topic of chicken sex coming up on a sailing blog! :D :D Cheers!
Name of the dive company?
how old are them?
I know a guy that used to feed a Morey eel ..... for years he would show his dive customers his trick ( Antigua BWI) until one time it took his finger clean off
i just love your way of diving i would be just as curious but eating with them hands preping the food i hope they washed their hands.great video thanks for sharing you guys are great.
Hey,the basil garden looks a little better...you put that on all the chicken you grill?( joke) I grow a lot of veggies in things called "hook over feeders" (horse feeders) 12-14 quarts(lotta dirt) and you can hang 'em on anything,drill holes in 'em,grow out the tops and sides,hang 'em anywhere. (miller-mfg.com) Its tough doing that on a boat,in the salt,I know,but ,there it is. Happy Christmas ; what's for dinner ?
I was curious to know, how do you protect yourselves out there sailing from anyone that might want to do you harm.
michael robar I’m wondering this as well
They probably do research. And avoid areas where bad things happen to tourists.
