As you are learning, good sanitation is very important on a live aboard boat, especially with a lot of people. Infections, and viruses can very easily be transferred from one to another. One way to minimize this problem is to go over everything normally handled, sat on, laid on, or touched with a dilute solution of bleach paying special attention to the heads. Also a good idea to sanitize, and dry wetsuits after use. I'd also strongly recommend losing the pig.
Unbelievable quality of your photography. Second to none today! Man, I hope you guys are archiving all this work, because at some point in the future it will be worth a lot, not just financially, but as a true and accurate record of the health and wellbeing of the areas you film. The detail with your macro filming is superb!
Nate and Crew, I grew up watching Jacque Couseau, completely fasincinated and entranced by His underwater adventures and ocean life. But the Biggest thing of all was it made look at Our Seas and Oceans as Living and vibrant Life Form, Fragile yet somewhat resilient. It made me an Ambassador of My Seas and Oceans, and Our World. I am a Conservative, that Loves Nature. My Point Nate, You, and Your Crew are the new Jacque Couseau of the World Today! Use your Important Role in Life wisely!!! Many Young and impressionable minds are Watching! I hope You Understand what I'm trying to express to You Nate, and Crew! Love watching You Guys! Best Wishes and Blessings!
I love it when you put up the names of the marine life. Thank you. I realize that it would be silly to label everything but I also enjoy learning as I watch. I also want to thank the beautiful Emily for being a good friend. I find it difficult to read the emotions of the locals when you do trading. Sometimes it appears a bit awkward. Once in awhile though they really get comfortable. Like when the kids came over and swam with you several videos back. They were having a blast. Anyways, just ramblin' now. Love your videos and amazing photography.
I admire how you gave credit in earlier episodes to SV Delos. I'm sure they're very proud of you. Your content and videography continue to raise the bar. Thanks!
Super underwater footage 👍 Young people always feel invincible. Beware not to let skin infections go too long without adequate treatment. It doesn't take long for septicemia to set in ⚕️
Really enjoying the spectacular dive footage from the Solomon Islands. That macro lens for the camera is amazing! Glad to see Pat is feeling better. Thanks crew and have a great day!
Good NZ morning Sylfia crew. WOW.!!! Just WOW.!! What a way to start a Monday morning down here in Nz. Thankyou for the hard work you put into producing such quality videos. Take care and stay safe. ATB.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in these awesome Solomon Islands. When I traveled to South America near the Equator from North America in the early 70's I found having a couple ounces of powdered golden seal extremely helpful in controlling infections used to dress wounds or taken internally in rice papers. After two years the immune system took over and infections stopped. 'Love your trip as a sailing commune immersed in adventure. Highest Blessings
Wow you guy's.. that's another level in underwater visual entertainment!! And the above waterline was top teir. really this was one of the best. Cheers and stay safe
That's just crazy..... whenever I have a wound I always go swimming in the ocean and it helps me heal faster then when I dont. When my sister was going through puberty and had alot of pimples we would go to the ocean and collect the water so she could wash her face with it. The ocean water was the only thing that helped clear her skin. So in my experience the ocean water heals.

One problem in the Solomon Islands is that the ocean is also the toilet for many villages. And where there are rivers meeting the ocean, that's other villages sewage system at work.
I grew up the same way. I used to sail up and down the east coast in the summers. One year I got a severe cut on my toe I ripped it down to the bone. The doctor's advice was while we were sailing, to hang the injury over the side and let the salt water flush it out. No infection
It's a nice touch when you ID'd the marine life during your dives. It would be interesting to learn what the names of all these fish, coral and plant life are. Would it be possible to ID each other underwater like you did some of the fish? It's just nice to follow along on who's who when it's not so obvious. Time to reach out to a well known Doctor and see if they will prescribed some antibiotics that you can keep long term on board. Great episode Capt. Nate 🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have had the same questions concerning fish 🐟 and plant life. I have never done any kind of editing. What I have learned from watching other sites, is that they typically spend 40 hours a week, editing to get a 30-minute video. And those sites don't bother with naming the fish or the coral or anything like that. I think it's a trade-off. We would get much more educated, but would you live with one video per month? Would the TH-cam channel even survive with that much of the decrease in content? I do like the idea of identifying the divers though. Underwater at distance, they all look alike, except for 🥜
@@PaulBartomioli I'm sure it takes a lot of time for them to produce the videos each time but it is what "pays the bills" or a good portion of it each week. And with all respect it is supposed to be a learning enterprise.
Not arguing the point. But, is the ROI worth it if it reduces content, likes, merch sales, reduces the money that pays the bills? That's all I'm saying. And I haven't even touched on the attention span of some viewers.
@@PaulBartomioli They *are* an educational non-profit. Maybe they could make longer episodes and put them on a subscription-based platform? (Not naming names, as this one is jealous... ;-) Especially if the subscription comes with a license to show in class etc. (I know in the US, a teacher automatically has a license to do so, but what about other countries?). Or maybe license the content to some networks? (Distant Shores TV has been doing that for the last 30 years, they've been aired in 86 countries, AFAIK)
@@realulli That's nice, bless your heart. Why don't you ask them? Then again I think there is at least one government agency and one for profit company that already follow your business model.
@@ExpeditionDrenched thats wonderful. I lived on Rendova and know the people well as you guys are knowing now. they are such lovely people. Please visit Belinda at Dive Munda when you are there
Good move on removing your sun glasses when you met the village elder. Most indigenous people do not trust people who wear dark glasses when you first meet up. "Why are they hiding their eyes?".
As other comments have said it is good to name the different fishes, Might work to test your audience if you named them a second time later in the video, with a little delay so we can think to ourselves that's a xyz and then the caption comes up again to self test us
Les vidéos sous la mer sont splendides. La musique n’est pas apprécié, pourquoi de la musique partout dans les clips? Moi j’aimerais entendre le bruit des fonds marin, entendre les coraux chanter ou les sons de la nature où vous vous trouver. Enfin l’empreinte internationale que vous laisser dans les villages sont apprécier. Merci . be safe out there...
Wow, try to get antibiotics for someone else in the "civilized" world, they would force you to have an air ambulance pick him up and take him to a hospital. Hope this works. Wow, those kids reaction to peanut was priceless. Was curious what you used for GPS in your diving dingy and does it have a depth sounder ? ... Wow, looked it up,
Andy C apparently Nemo fish were removed from reefs in North Queensland illegally, to sell in aquariums in various outlets around Australia, due to the popularity of the movie years back. This story came from a marine biologist on a reef dive boat seven day tour I took! Attempts at promoting something so lovely, just ends up as exploitation!
Haven't been here for awhile and I see my French girlfriend is back I have some catching up to do! I thought see got hurt again and I was saddened at first.
I like everything but one item in your video. As experienced divers, you know how important it is to stay off the reef. The image of you settled on the reef with your camera is not good. Work on your neutral buoyancy in operating your equipment so you don’t have to risk damaging it by settling and touching the reef.
Unfortunately, you pet pig is part of your problems. Swine we we not meant to co-exist with humans as you do. They have different microbiomes. I realize it's fun, yet the pig was a possibile unfortunate health idea. From my medical experience.
Love you lot, but it seems you have changed the style of music you use. The last two episodes seem to have the annoying cheesy music typical of youtube videos. Please go back to the trip-hop/chilled-out sound. It suits the laid-back vibe of your channel and it's soothing. Your channel is pure relaxing escapism for the viewers. For the underwater scenes maybe even just ambient tones would feel much better. This new stuff is jarring to me. Followed you since the beginning! xx
Everybody asks for different kind of music, it is really hard to please everybody. But we choose the music that we think fits the scene best. Sometimes a little bit active music is nice for a change! but thank you for sharing!
a very pleasant trip, my friend. Moreover, the scenery is also good, clean and very good at watching your videos, friends. I hope you can connect with each other, greetings of success, friends

Keeping an open wound *very* dry stops the infection from becoming worse, because bacterias needs water too: No water - no new bacterias.
big fala thanks expedition drenched for the video...💚💛💥. much appreciate from Solomon
Thanks for posting and sharing. Glad to see and hear you all. Happy to hear that there was treatment available for Patrick.
Wonderful episode! Fair wind and strong wi-fi to you all.
I really enjoyed the fish labels... more please!!!
absolutely spectacular.. the under water dives are amazing
That was a great night dive. Thanks for sharing, I hope you're well.
Wow you guy's.. that's another level in underwater visual entertainment!! And the above waterline was top teir. really this was one of the best. Cheers and stay safe
Thanks a ton!/ nerea
As always, nice to see an adventure unfolding.
Wanna send out a big thank you for putting up the names of the species you were filming
Beautiful, happy people. Loaded.
First time watching. Holy crap, the video is incredible.
"Expedition Drenched .. a piggy named Peanut .. a boat named Sylvia and a ragtag crew that call her home!" .. I love the channel! 😊👍
Glad Patrick had such nice Angel's (or Valkyries?) to take care of him. Fair winds
Was going to ask for more fish names but its been done! Another excellent video, thanks.
8:59 Did you see it?! The Pigmy seahorse?!!! What a gem
Great Episode... you are all Great Ambassadors of the World!!!
I liked how you you guys put up the name of some of the fish you filmed...You should put more of the names of the aquatic friends you meet.😁👍
Awesome dive scenes!!!
One saving grace, at least it's warm rain 😁
... thank you for adding the species ident's , great,
fantastic photog and love the micro life
be safe , eat yer veggies and #RockOn #cheers m'dears
Get well soon. Thanks for sharing.-C-

There are some bacteria in ocean water where, if it get's in a open wound will actually eat the flesh, not worth taking a chance on.
We agree
It’s something with Solomon’s
Infections run rampant
I grew up the same way. I used to sail up and down the east coast in the summers. One year I got a severe cut on my toe I ripped it down to the bone. The doctor's advice was while we were sailing, to hang the injury over the side and let the salt water flush it out. No infection
@ good point. First world versus third world.
HOT!! I never knew Nerea was a homie!! Looking forward to seeing more!!
Awww, that macro is sick!
Thanks Paul!
Straight up west side, bro. I would stay glued to that camera and lens setup. Obsessed.
It's a nice touch when you ID'd the marine life during your dives. It would be interesting to learn what the names of all these fish, coral and plant life are.
Would it be possible to ID each other underwater like you did some of the fish? It's just nice to follow along on who's who when it's not so obvious.

Great dives
I am now concerned that lots of people will race to the area. Amazing underwater life.
Love all the diving you show. Sound of talking was tough, but ???
We are cruisers as well, and are wondering what you are seeing as the average cost of fees charged by the Chief and mooring fees.
dont saltwater help with wound recovery ?
Not in the Solomons!

hope you gave clinic some $$$
Always! :)

Nice guys...
At 01:51, I hope that's not HOT coffee! Hot coffee hovering over someone's face....hmmm 🚫
Love all the videos! This one was a little hard to hear what you where saying at times.
Wheres jordan
Can someone time stamp the race to the hospital in the storm?

What now 😬😬😬😬😭
Nemo, the most photographed fish in history I think 🤣😍

Another example of being improperly prepared. You have to be prepared with a proper medkit. C‘mon guys, you’re responsible for your crew....!!
We have a really good medkit Sven, but Pat needed to try something different because nothing was working.
