"Santa Catalina Style" Cool. Colin, this entire episode has the best production quality I've ever seen on your channel. The camera work, sound quality, editing were all professional quality. Stay cool.
One of the joys I had growing up was watching the Jacques Cousteau documentaries when they’d air. Your footage of the whale shark was just like the old master’s. Thanks and we’ll done.
Often times I wish there was a way to give two thumbs up. You folks are mega , keeping us old crippled sailors alive. Thanks a gain for sharing your dreams and adventures.
Colin, I watched you all the way through the awesome boat repair and long before that. As if your mechanical ability and perseverance weren’t enough, the way you give others gifts of experience, and then most of all, the joy you get from seeing others enjoy the gifts you bring to them is amazing. So, on top of everything Colin you’re just a great guy and that’s why people a drawn to you.
I spent a few weeks in Santa Catalina about 20 years ago. Surfed and spearfished pretty much every single day. Took some pangas out to the Coiba islands, toured what was a prison colony, I did see Tito, a giant American crocodile that has been living on the main island. Pretty wild experience to be able to get that close to an uncaged crocodile. Let’s not forget the diving. Let’s just say that I’ve literally dove all over the world; North/Central/South America, South Pacific, Australia, Indonesia, Asia, Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe and throughout the Caribbean. Nowhere have I seen such giant prehistoric looking fish as Coiba. It just seems like everything is 3 times as big. It’s definitely healthy and super glad Panama opted to deem it a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Amazing gift to the planet, muchas gracias Panama!!!
As a diver, I loved this episode…honestly the whale shark would have trumped seeing bull sharks any day! Loved how you highlighted the dive op there and showed how hard they worked, and why divers can help protect our oceans. If you offer up a week long dive trip off your boat, I’d sign up in a heartbeat! 😎
I'm having a a good laugh listening to everyone trying out the South African accent and slang. As a South African I never realised how much other people were amused by them.
What an Epic Adventure 😃I’ve never dived before, it’s one of my fears being underwater but I would have felt safe being with you all & the diving team 🐳
This is what I have to say about this particular episode ❤️👍❤️👍💖👍 the whale shark footage brought out such emotion and the happiness you displayed when the new divers took a go at it says so much about you. Thank you for putting the wind back in my sails.
MATE , Scuba Diving , now your talking....Whale sharks , massive Manta's....getting in touch with serenity , such beauty...Wow..too good...if you haven't experienced it...bucket list stuff....seriously....cheers
What a lifestyle and experiences you lot get to live! Would love to live a life like this for me and my two boys. Hope to mee you guys once you decide to stop on our coasts in SOUTH AFRICA
That's what it is all about. Amazing under water world. I've been snorkeling but I want to scuba dive so bad. Swimming with whale sharks is amazing as well. La Paz, MX is a great place for that too.
All in for whale sharks and rays at night. Though you never know how hungry them bull sharks are. One kept bumping me trying to free dive to release snagged anchor. Lost track at the surface as turbid/cloudy top 3 meters. Bumped last time then and I did my Jesus cartoon water walking to the ladder. Kona. Thank you for sharing and supporting these places with your great energy.
Absolutely fantastic it’s brilliant to sail on the sea but it’s even better to dive it that was really good to watch as a diver myself it’s so nice to see things as they are wild and free
I did my first dive in Costa Maya and when your instructor said "Everything is so peaceful" he was spot on. We dove to about forty feet and I was nervous at first but became at ease once we started to descend, I had an instructor with me but I hardly knew he was there unless he taped my leg to point out something. For the first time divers on your dive I'm positive they had an awesome experience!
Wow Colin just wow. Your videos are always a joy to watch and take in as you and your crew are all wonderful. This one however was on another level. The editing, shots music all of it was excellent. This video was on a professional level so whatever changed keep it up. Thanks for sharing such an epic adventure with this land locked old man. Watching your videos I get to experience things I didn't do when I was younger and I can say with 100% certainty that the opening line you've used in the past is so true about regrets as I definitely have a few. Thank you for allowing me to at least feel a little better about them as I watch your videos. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...
Really wish these were longer but realize it takes time to produce each one. I did notice a different production vibe on this one in that the sound tracks were a little bit louder and faster than normal. Just some insight from someone who has watched every video more than once and gone thru all of the various "editors" you've had help you and notice little things like this. Much love to all, see you next week
Awesome footage Colin and look forward to the next. Glad to see Trevor (school mate from Muir College in Uitenhage, South Africa) and Kerry were with you guy's.
Colin, OMG incredible incredible footage, I just love everything about your channel, I truly believe you are as kind and considerate as you appear on the show, with saying that, I can only imagine that it is so much more beautiful in person then what we see on video. Thankyou for the great footage and your whole crew is always on my heart with prayers knowing that our/your God is always watching over you and keeping you guys safe and sound. Peace to you Brother, Sincerely Andy
Those star fish are crown of Thorn starfish, also knows as cots. In Australia we have a culling program to eradicate them as they eat the reef and are a big problem.
Boss content as always Guys x Looks like you had amazing service from this dive opperation company😍 Sorry u did not get ur Bull Shark content! Thanks God we still have them as part of underwater ecosystem! Also thanks God they have not appeared and taken a a limb from a Parlay crew member x That would screw up the party 🥳 x
I live on the coast of NW Florida and if you want to see some sharks, Florida's the spot, as I'm sure you know. I have a certain spot I like to walk because I can watch tons of wildlife from shore too. Huge sharks swim right past me. I love it!! Stay safe out there.
Had the same experience with whale sharks in Coiba. We encountered them on two of our five days diving there. What an awesome experience. We also saw nine white tip sharks together resting on the sea floor.
Hello parley, I noticed on your anchor chain is rubbing against the boat surface when lowering and raising, you might want to line the trench that the chain rides in with some sacrificial stainless steel so you won't wear out the fiberglass that the chain rides in
Jose seems like an awesome instructor and steward of the oceans.
"Santa Catalina Style" Cool.
Colin, this entire episode has the best production quality I've ever seen on your channel. The camera work, sound quality, editing were all professional quality. Stay cool.
Agreed - been watching for years - this is a great fit for your channel
I second this!
One of the joys I had growing up was watching the Jacques Cousteau documentaries when they’d air.
Your footage of the whale shark was just like the old master’s.
Thanks and we’ll done.
One word to describe this diving experience, "beautiful."
Often times I wish there was a way to give two thumbs up. You folks are mega , keeping us old crippled sailors alive. Thanks a gain for sharing your dreams and adventures.
😊👍
Fishing, surfing, diving, sailing….Panama has it all!

Simply stunning sir! Fantastic content, you never want the episode to end! Thanks Colin!
Totally agree, never want the episode to end!
Colin mate. Again. Delivering top notch content. Love to see it, hate to wait for another episode. You and the crew keep it up!
The production quality over the last two episodes has been top notch Colin. Everything in 1080p and flows really well.
You're on the best Bravo Channel Below Deck series. And you are a big part of that.

Hats off to flippyhipped. That was some awesome editing.
Soo glad you got to see a sea turtle, my absolute favorite sea creature to observe!

One of my favorite episodes so far. Great footage and people had fun!
Awesome! Thank you all!
If never ceases to amaze me how beautiful mother nature and the creatures of the sea can be. 👍
Now that was a pretty unique episode. Great to see the reaction of the first timers. And the whale shark was (to quote Ricky Baker) MAJESTICAL
😊👍
This has been my favourite video so far. Have CC always wanted to dive but I have asthma so just snorkel. Totally love being under the water.
Thanks for sharing !

Living the dream!

I love the content....love it.....greetings from your ancestral homeland of Scotland 👌
Sorry to hear about the lightning strike. Looking forward to all the repair videos though. ;)
You guys are F’n amazing. Love your video content. 🙌🏼
👍
Ah yes. That first breath of air underwater {NAUI}. I remember it well, even though it was 50+ years ago
looked really fun, great video.
Wonderful adventure
I miss diving about that
Whale sharks are really something magical
we had saturday 27 august. For the first time "Botter Pop". What a party!
✨Excellent adventures with Colin❣️
Wow can you say production value!
10:20 Jamie has Bull Shark bait right on his trunks! LOL
Outstanding !
"like 2,3,4-meter bull sharks are you still in?" Jami on que....Yaaaaa 😎😎
Boss content as always Guys x
Looks like you had amazing service from this dive opperation company😍
Sorry u did not get ur Bull Shark content!
Thanks God we still have them as part of underwater ecosystem!
Also thanks God they have not appeared and taken a a limb from a Parlay crew member x
That would screw up the party 🥳 x
Been watching ~ a year. Wow the videos are peaking. The adventure had well and truely begun. Cheers

Amazing...
DAMN YOU SCUBA STEVE!
Looks like you had a great dive instructor
Great video!
Had the same experience with whale sharks in Coiba. We encountered them on two of our five days diving there. What an awesome experience. We also saw nine white tip sharks together resting on the sea floor.
Coiba is awesome I saw my first Galapagos Shark diving there. Cool to witness but let’s just say that I wasn’t sad to see him swim off.
Whale shark! Bad ass!!
Was this edited by the new girl? Top notch, really well done!
Awsome!
Looks like Jamie the Jockey has found a new mount
Hello parley, I noticed on your anchor chain is rubbing against the boat surface when lowering and raising, you might want to line the trench that the chain rides in with some sacrificial stainless steel so you won't wear out the fiberglass that the chain rides in
Come to the Bahamas alot of bull sharks, Bimini, abaco, etc
