99 meters!? That's like 325 feet, yeah? I don't want to brang but I once picked up 9 rings that were sunk down to the bottom of a 10 foot pool, spread out! I guess you could say I'm kind of a local legend
Sitting here watching your video thinking how wicked-awesome it must have been at the blue hole, in the company of people that are the best at what they do. Then it dawned on me that I get that every week! You guys are the BEST at what you do! The #1 sailing channel on TH-cam. Thanks for allowing me to be in the presence of Greatness!!! My wife, four kids and I watch your videos together. It has become a family affair. A late congrats to you and you new addition. Parenting is hands-down the hardest thing I have ever done but it is by far, absolutely without a doubt, the best and most rewarding thing I have ever done. You can never know how much your parents love you until you are one. That is truth. Love you guys and maybe.... if you are ever in Nova Scotia....I can pick your brain about sailing!!
Hey Guys, My Dad used to professional fish over in Cowell, SA..We are from Wallaroo on the other side of the gulf... Loving the life you guys are living..Living the Dream
Ha! I get props here for being the retriever of all things dropped off the dock. Mostly less than 15 feet, but you can't see jack until you are inches from the bottom in the lake, so it's a funny skill to be able to hover upside down inches from the bottom and try to maneuver about looking for treasure. Probably 30+ pairs of sunglasses, a watch or two, near enough to 10 cell phones, and one very expensive wedding ring. Cheers to Riley, can't imagine 40m on my own air!
I love hearing you speak of the difficulty as depth increases. For a non-diver, that's something I knew existed but was unaware of to that degree; even after being a fan of Adam's already and following his adventures on TH-cam. The dedication to their sport is incredible and as you adverted to, they live their love for the ocean by embracing and protecting her. 💓🌊
Riles, Very impressive to free-dive to 40 meters. I grew up in the Sonoran desert of Az. We used to have contests to see how far we could go on one breath under-water in a 40 ft pool. I did 4 lengths once. I think it is genetic 'cause my dad did the same thing as a kid. He once blacked-out while trying to swim across the Astoria pool underwater. He said he was out for 20 minutes and woke up in a NYC hospital.I t is crazy what the human body can do!
Ahh... To be young again. I am re-living part of my life through your channel for some of the things I missed/miss in life. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all.
Just received my 2019 calendar and am totally blown away by the feeling that I'm there. Thank a million for something beautiful that me reminds me every day that life is fantastic. Be safe and enjoy all your adventures and blessed companionship. Warmest regards from "Land locked in Florida"......Walt
One of the things I really love about your channel is that you are sharing with us what you are learning! Your passion for learning comes through all of your videos and it is what makes it compelling to follow. I checked out the beginners video on Adam's channel and it was fascinating!
Awesome to know that someone from the EP has followed their dreams and is able to live a life full of adventure. I am 46 and I still want to be a fireman when I grow up. All I hear in my little head is 'yeah....nah' Keep living ya dream guys
Congrats on the dive, mate. More importantly, congrats to you and Elayna on the birth of Lenny. I hope all is well with all of you 3. Now you can fathom the love!
good stuff guys , i used to swim under water all the time when i was a little kid until one day i looked up and i thought i might give the surface a go.
I loved free diving every since I saw “the big blue” when I was a kid. I used sit on the bottom of the pool and hold my breath for 2 to 3 minutes. Of course now I would need a weight belt due to extra buoyancy that has since showed up around my waist. Looks like a blast though.
I love this channel!! The woman is so beautiful, full bodied and healthy, and her husband has this clean johnny depp style. I dont like Johnny Depp whatsoever, but this guy is chill and intriguing. Your channel is candy for the eyes all the way around; Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, beautiful voices, and simplicity which is so so refreshing and beautiful!!
This page came to my attention through some freediving friends I have been going through all yer vids this last month, I'm Irish but live in South Australia almost made it to cowell last week (I was with the cuttlefish in Whyalla) I have been following Adam for a long time so seen him here made my day keep up the good work I love what you are doing
We visited Dean’s Hole back in 2015 and had the opportunity to talk with Adam briefly. One cool fact that I learned then was that at a certain depth the pressure negates buoyancy and you actually sink faster. This makes it easier to go deeper but harder to return. Scary!
Congrats on the PB Riley. Hope you guys had a great Christmas with Lennon and I wish you all a Happy New Year. Have fun, be safe and KEEP ON SAILIN ON cheers RJ
Thanks for sharing this with us, I’m a triathlete and love the water. This sport fascinates me- the people are relatively subdued, as well as environmentally respectful - I love it! Happy new year to your little family!
19 year old guy from Finland here! I've been binging your videos this last week and I'm loving it! I will definitely try to become a patron (have to check if my student budget allows it). This is content i definitely would be happy supporting. :) Much luck with the baby, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you guys! Cheers.
I loved watching this, it was so cool and interesting to learn about free diving and the whole community involved. You guys do amazing work, thank you so much for sharing. Safe sailing 💙⛵
I’m watching some of your back catalogue of videos. One thing I’m sure you know but a tip is if you feel like you are running out of air just go through the motions of swallowing. Dry Swallowing a bunch of times in a row reduces oxygen demand. It is brief but it somehow takes away the feeling of oxygen starvation.
That was a extremely interesting video. These are the type of unusual sports we here in the states don't get to see often. Thank you so much for sharing, you guys are living the dream!
I really enjoyed the free diving I had herd of it but that was the first time that I've seen it so thank you for introducing it to your channel. I will see you the next time say safe and have fun.
Riley, 40m is very impressive. You are always respectful and never come across arrogant. Elayna your little feature on Rileys training was class entertainment. It's no wonder your channel is so popular cuz you are such genuine characters.
as a kid i used to love diving as deep as i could. but to be honest it was more for how long i could stay at whatever depth i was at. well done mate. they should have given you an honoury mention :-))
Good idea to mention clicking the "Like" at the end because we tend to become so fascinated by your content and are still thinking about it when the video is over, it's easy to forget to do that. If they had 100 Like buttons at a time, I'd click on all of them! Great job!!
@@franklinpierce2854 Yeah same single 80cu compressed air tank, no nitrox or tri mix at the Pinicle (basicly a small seamount with a deep cave) of the NSW north coast we did have a spare deco bottle at 15m though. Not something I would do nowdays without mixed gas or a rebreather, my dive buddy ended up pretty narcked, I probably was a little also as I thought his antics where funny as hell at the time..
You guys are great, I so enjoy following your adventures and now know a bit more on free diving. I'm sure you have had your baby by know Elaina and also looking forward to that as well :)
Elayner's been pushing the comedy button ever since the pirate skit, but Riley's training montage was her best directing ever. (What Riley doesn't know... is that Elayna is exacting her revenge on him for some off camera crime he committed, but can't remember.)
So cool guys. I've been wanting to learn about freediving for a while so I really appreciate you guys publishing this and making connections for me so I can learn more.
Definitely go to Adam's channel. I stumbled across it a year ago and he has some great information. I was excited to see them connect with him on this video.
I have to put all diving on hold until I find out the extent of damage to my lungs from multiple PE blood clots in both lungs. Got diagnosed almost 11 weeks ago. Really bumming me. I was really looking forward to doing a lot of diving and freediving this year.
Great video! Respectful of the greater accomplishment, and pointing the way for beginners and intermediates. Very helpful, which, imho, makes the very best TH-cam video. You do stuff, and show us how it''s done properly, so we can follow. We might not have even wanted to do it if we had not seen it here. Good on ya, mates. Bless your baby!!!
Haha, Cowell! I spent the last of my high school days kicking around Cowell/Tumby. I've been a follower for years now, I felt there was something familiar about your accents, so I half suspected South Australia, but I didn't think it would be Cowell! What could possibly have compelled you to hop on a sailboat and leave the bustling township of Cowell, I will never know :P
Loved to see this, I started free diving when I took lessons from PFI in early 2000s. Haven’t been practicing for a couple years but it was such a cool thing to learn how much my body could do. My PB was 33 meters. How I would love to getting back into it.
99 meters!? That's like 325 feet, yeah? I don't want to brang but I once picked up 9 rings that were sunk down to the bottom of a 10 foot pool, spread out! I guess you could say I'm kind of a local legend
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Love this!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Best. Comment. EVER🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pics or its not true
That commands respect.
Hahaha the clips of Riley doing the tasks is so pure. Good on you for the endless support and love elayna;)
I'm watching this video years later and just lost my shit at him in the frog hole.
I remember scrolling through FaceBook back when this was live and all of a sudden there was Riley being interviewed holding a coconut! Blahahah
3:10 minute mark. That must be were Riley got his coconut.
Authentic Legend!
Practicing in the frog pit was awesome!
Fascinated in the physiology of free diving. Amazing feats and such connection to Gaia
Damn...these divers are super human. I black out even in my bathtub.

Yeah...u guys are super inspirational... i never usually comment on anything but you guys show a whole new out look on life... ONE LOVE
Incredible. Lenny is going to have one hell of a childhood.
Hey Guys, My Dad used to professional fish over in Cowell, SA..We are from Wallaroo on the other side of the gulf...
Loving the life you guys are living..Living the Dream
I thought you said your dad used to be a professional fish lol
Just re-read my comment and so it seems I did..lol
Fish is a verb and a noun no worries
Ha! I get props here for being the retriever of all things dropped off the dock. Mostly less than 15 feet, but you can't see jack until you are inches from the bottom in the lake, so it's a funny skill to be able to hover upside down inches from the bottom and try to maneuver about looking for treasure.

So amazing water is crystal clear n really beautiful ☺️
This man doing push-ups on sea shells. I can’t even do them on my carpet
I’m so lucky to have found your channel. I’ve been inspired on so many levels. THANK YOU for sharing your story. You both are absolute gems💓
THE FROG PIT!!!! LMAO!!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing...that was an Amazing Blue Hole
Guys you are the best, great to see your energy and your love! Thanks, you made my day🏄♀️👍🏽🌱🐾
Lucky you only made it to 40m Riles, at 45m moustache delamination occurs...
lol#@@SailingLaVagabonde
Well mate, now you can come back and spear fish in the Med sea. You'll find out it's not as dead as you thought.
REALLY enjoyed this one. Reminded me of that great film 'The Big Blue'.
So much fun to watch and listen to both of you. You share a lot about the people, the area and your experiences. Thank you. 💚🌺💚

I love Sailing la Vagabonde. You have inspired me!
I just love the easy-going of Riley and his demeanor. Very refreshing

Great departure video. Reminds me of a great free diving movie "The Big Blue". A must watch if you like free diving! Love you guys!

Awesome insight into the world of free diving. Didn't know much about it. Thanks for making this video guys.

Keep living ya dream guys
The view from the house was sick! Good times!
You guys rock yasso in tune with each other may GOD bless you and the Universe bless you my sister from the Pleiades and her newborn baby
Totally interesting. Really, great job.
Congrats on the dive, mate.
More importantly, congrats to you and Elayna on the birth of Lenny. I hope all is well with all of you 3. Now you can fathom the love!
good stuff guys , i used to swim under water all the time when i was a little kid until one day i looked up and i thought i might give the surface a go.
A respectable showing and fun was had by all, nicely done Riles.
The Big Blue!! A must watch
Great episode. Riley’s “training” antics😂
I loved free diving every since I saw “the big blue” when I was a kid. I used sit on the bottom of the pool and hold my breath for 2 to 3 minutes. Of course now I would need a weight belt due to extra buoyancy that has since showed up around my waist. Looks like a blast though.
I live in Nassau, Bahamas and I think it’s great that you guys are visiting the family islands and experiencing true island life ahha. Love the vlogs!
Just wanna say that i really love your videos cause you are such lovely folks. All the best for the - soon - three of you ☺
I love this channel!! The woman is so beautiful, full bodied and healthy, and her husband has this clean johnny depp style. I dont like Johnny Depp whatsoever, but this guy is chill and intriguing. Your channel is candy for the eyes all the way around; Beautiful people, beautiful scenery, beautiful voices, and simplicity which is so so refreshing and beautiful!!
I love watching your videos from all the way over in the UK in the middle of Winter.

keep up the good work I love what you are doing
The best ever film The Big Blue, great soundtrack too!!

who's got it better than you guys? nobody! what a life! Congrats on your beautiful boy too!
Congrats on the PB Riley. Hope you guys had a great Christmas with Lennon and I wish you all a Happy New Year. Have fun, be safe and KEEP ON SAILIN ON cheers RJ
My goodness! How far you two have come since a small sailboat in the Med years ago. Cheers, and keep-on inspiring

Just got back from the Bahamas! Nassau and half moon cay. Half moon was breathtaking!
I loved watching this, it was so cool and interesting to learn about free diving and the whole community involved. You guys do amazing work, thank you so much for sharing. Safe sailing 💙⛵
Great job Riley. Nice group of people.
Thanks for posting. Really great to see and hear this one.
These sit down talks are the best
I’m watching some of your back catalogue of videos. One thing I’m sure you know but a tip is if you feel like you are running out of air just go through the motions of swallowing.

Good job Riley! 40m is deeper than I typically go with a tank on!
Amazing Place...Thanks.
Riley, 40m is very impressive. You are always respectful and never come across arrogant. Elayna your little feature on Rileys training was class entertainment. It's no wonder your channel is so popular cuz you are such genuine characters.
Absolutely incredible. It’s a real talent to go to the depths
Thanks guys,
Excellent as usual!!!
Congratulations Mom and Dad, you guys do fine work!
as a kid i used to love diving as deep as i could. but to be honest it was more for how long i could stay at whatever depth i was at.
well done mate. they should have given you an honoury mention :-))
I love your vids, you two are the best of the sailing podcasts. Keep it up, you guys rock.
Love this episode ..... loving the passion for looking after the ocean

I've seen every episode up to this point and this is probably one of my top three favorites You Are My Sunshine
Congrats Riley!
Great episode. Enjoyed it!
Dam that's deep, 47m is as deep as I have ever been without mixed gas and that was decompression scuba dive not a single breath 🤔😲.. Awsome job..👍👍🇦🇺
50m with one 80cu ft tank. Only once. Off Andros Island. Unforgettable.
Franklin Pierce sounds dangerous
@@franklinpierce2854 Yeah same single 80cu compressed air tank, no nitrox or tri mix at the Pinicle (basicly a small seamount with a deep cave) of the NSW north coast we did have a spare deco bottle at 15m though.

Congrats Riley, you were the deepest diving Cowellite IN THE WORLD at this meet!
WOW .... whew knew! Thx for the heads up about all that. XO,Kelly
You guys are great, I so enjoy following your adventures and now know a bit more on free diving. I'm sure you have had your baby by know Elaina and also looking forward to that as well :)
Congrats on the newly born baby boy. He's beautiful...
Hi, congratulations on 40 m and great dives, looking forward to seeing little Lenny!
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Simple amazing stories and videos.
Beautiful-crazy, you two! Awesome video again!!!

(What Riley doesn't know... is that Elayna is exacting her revenge on him for some off camera crime he committed, but can't remember.)
Loved this episode, just great to see an insight into the freediving. Have a great first Xmas with Lenny 😘
Cowell - what a great little town! I’ve caught some beautiful King George Whiting there 👍🏼
So cool guys. I've been wanting to learn about freediving for a while so I really appreciate you guys publishing this and making connections for me so I can learn more.
Definitely go to Adam's channel. I stumbled across it a year ago and he has some great information. I was excited to see them connect with him on this video.
Definitely recommend you learning freediving. Take a course, and just enjoy how beautiful the ocean can be!
@@Pete_R63 Thanks. I've started watching and doing some of the drills he recommends.
I have to put all diving on hold until I find out the extent of damage to my lungs from multiple PE blood clots in both lungs. Got diagnosed almost 11 weeks ago. Really bumming me. I was really looking forward to doing a lot of diving and freediving this year.
I'm shocked at the depths....Amazing
You just got a very big Thumbs Up.! Well done. Thank you for sharing..!

What could possibly have compelled you to hop on a sailboat and leave the bustling township of Cowell, I will never know :P
Impressive, 300 ft on tri mix many times but to free dive to over 100 meters is just hard to imagine, very cool
I love this show dammm.
I'm going to be a patron, you guys deserve it.....
You guys are so awesome! Love all your content!!
40 meters!!! CHEERS Riley!!
You can easily say 40m :) Thank you for this beautiful contribution :):)
That ending with the foot high five was pretty funny :)
Loved to see this, I started free diving when I took lessons from PFI in early 2000s. Haven’t been practicing for a couple years but it was such a cool thing to learn how much my body could do. My PB was 33 meters. How I would love to getting back into it.
You guys are extremely inspirational:)
Mad world Riley training montage is gold! Keep it is guys!
I love the humor you two have! lol
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. Have been a follower for awhile & so impressed by your content, thank you!!!
