      HEY AARON THE BEST WAY TO BRAIN THOSE iNSTEAD OF USING A KNIFE IS YOU FEEL FOR THE BRAIN IT WILL FEEL LIKE A PEA SIZED ROCK ONCE YOU LOCATE THE BRAIN 🧠 SIMPLY USE YOUR TEETH 🦷 AND BITE IT NOT YOUR FRONT TEETH 🦷 BUT THE SIDE YOU WILL FEEL IT POP AND THEY DIE INSTANTLY
      TRYING TO USE A KNIFE TO BRAIN 🧠 THEM IS DANGEROUS BC THEY ARE SO SOFT. YOU CAN EASILY STAB YOUR HAND
      ANYWAYS JUST A TIP I LEARNED CATCHING THEM IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN

    I’ve really been praying for you guys since yhe first moment I head you were going to Belize. Last time my wife and I were there (Ambergris) we were stalked by a fairly large crocodile (not alligator). It kept following us in the mangroves and later out when we swam out of the mangroves towards our boat. It was large, persistent and then aggressive when we got back inside the boat. It did not like that we were now out of reach.
    And we hear many similar stories. So please stay safe out there!

    On Caye Caulker there were very few cars, mostly golf carts and bicycles. There is a bar there called “the split” that had picnic tables in the water. I found conch shells everywhere while snorkeling just off the beach. We had a “vacation pet” dog that stayed with us the whole time, we fed him all our leftovers. I loved riding my bike from one end of the island to the other in the morning listening to all the different birds.

    The coral that you mentioned being particularly beautiful is Elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata. It was the predominant coral species that built the reefs in the Florida keys, but over the past 15 years or so it's been decimated to the point of it being rarely seen. In the 70s there were massive thickets of the stuff.
    I love your videos but the lack of stony corals in the keys these days is positively heartbreaking. Although things look healthy and there is a lot of fish life, the coral reef is not what it used to be even just a few years ago. I started diving the keys back in 1997 and the changes in the health of the reef just kills me.
    Glad you got to see it in Belize!
    If you're interested, check out the coral restoration foundation. They work to replant stony corals in the Florida keys.

    Great change of pace with Belize for an island getaway. I don't feel like it was just a spur of the moment thing either. I'm so looking forward to My vacation this year. I might just have to get down to the island for some great fishing and boating. As always I love the content and the vibes through the video.

    Stir up the sand with your hand this sand swirl will draw the porgy attention enough to close in for a shots. Once the porgy big eyes lock on you. You will never get close. You have to call them in but they are one of the wildest fish in the ocean but taste so good
