Congratulations on entering the world of scuba diving I hope you guys are still diving
I’d be way too afraid to scuba dive, but this is awesome for people who’d want to!
Yeah it is a terrifying experience when you’re learning but once you get to just experience the world underwater, it all changes!
Vegan Voyagers I bet!!!
im suuuuper scared of snorkeling, scuba diving so id never do it myself but seeing this video was great ! if ever i lose the fear, ill come back to it !
Totally understandable- it's definitely not for everyone! Thanks for watching
Scuba diving looks fun, but it is scary too. I heard a horror story of a local boy who came up too fast and blew out his lungs. So much to remember, but you guys did it awesome.
Well, that's terrifying! Haha, yes there are definitely a lot of VERY important things to remember, but it seems like once we get the hang of it, we'll never want to come back to the surface!
omg. scuba diving freaks me out but i look forward to living vicariously through your videos! i think i'd be too scared to try it myself!
Vegan Dynamite glad you like watching our scuba videos because there’s likely going to be many more 😂 we are hooked!
Welcome to an amazing sport
Thanks! We are hooked!
@@VeganVoyagers Let the adventures begin!
Eeeks the snake! I’m thinking things have changed a lot from my 2 hour padi certification in Dominican Republic 25 yrs ago then... lol my training was nothing like that. Although I was worried as I do also get sea sick and in Jamaica the waves were insane but they convinced me as once you get below the surface you don’t feel the waves anymore, which was true. I’m a big girl and I needed a TON of weights too, I had a hard time climbing out of the boat wearing the weights and gear. I totally get it. I’ve only been scuba diving twice, but I really enjoyed it. So excited for you and cool to know there’s a deeper cover for the go pro I’ll have to look into that :) so excited to see your next video on this!
We had SUCH an awesome experience on the last day and are fully sold on the whole diving life now, haha- there goes all of our money. Can't wait to share that video coming up!
Cudos to you guys for getting out there and making your dreams come true. Congratulations on the certificate and the underwater shots were absolutely amazing.
Thanks! We are hooked and now have to learn how to deal with filming underwater!
Thia i absolutely amazing 😍 such a great experience
Thanks so much for watching! It has been an awesome experience- we're hooked!
I think I would have the same type of initial concerns, issues, etc, but would end up loving it in the end.
Our final day really solidified how AWESOME diving is- can't wait to share that video coming up soon. We've actually already decided to keep going and get our advanced training while we're still here.
I love Mexico 😍
We love Mexico too!
YOUR VIDEO IS AMAZING REALLY GREAT JOB! I went to a couple of places in Mexico. Cozumel was one of the places I wanted to go but couldn't make it. Love the scuba diving clips wish to try it someday!
We hope you make it here some day! Mexico is absolutely amazing and the reefs here are absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to share our last training dive- it was SO MUCH FUN
@@VeganVoyagers Someday! Mexico is full of surprises! When I stayed in Mexico City I didn't realize they had so many vegan places there. Some of them are really good too! Cant wait to comeback!
Learning how to help with a leg cramp is an interesting one. I wouldn't have thought of that but it makes a lot of sense you had to learn that. Awesome lighting, that would have been great for some super cool photography. The water was so blue, did you use a filter?
No filter on the camera but a little post processing. It’s actually crazy because you lose red pretty quickly under water and we may need a filter to add that back in.
@@VeganVoyagers We bought the kits for some of our early GoPro's but snorkeling we never got deep enough to have them be effective.
Wow Kudos to you guys, soooo brave. I'm petrified of snorkeling and scuba diving. Congratulations, you guys rock! 💚💕
Totally understandable that people would be afraid! It goes against all of our human instincts haha
WOW! JUST WOW YOU GUYS ARE JUST AWESOME!!!! We love the idea of scuba diving and we so want to get our qualification! How awesome that you can go somewhere to do it, we do not have anything local here, but hopefully soon! :) It looks magical under the ocean! :)
Each time we get under the water it feels more and more like home! We highly recommend the Cozumel Dive School. Their whole crew is fantastic!!
I'm like Aaron, I absolutely love the water but have that fear of breathing/not being able to breath under water, and get a little panicked when I think about it. I'm glad I'm not alone and I'm also glad to see you can get over that fear and really enjoy it :) I hope you get to see those sharks!
No sharks yet 😭 but fortunately this is just the beginning of our dive career! You definitely need to retrain your brain to be comfortable underwater. It’s a wild mind game!
@@VeganVoyagers I bet! Looking forward to seeing more adventures :)
Been wanting to learn all my life....I have extreme anxiety and Claustraphobia...Going to Cozumel in may...Trying to get over my fear
EEK, the snake would make our hearts skip a beat! April would like to learn how to scuba dive, though it makes her nervous (she isn't as confident as me in the water). I am Advanced Nitrox with Rescue Diver PADI certified. I can no longer dive though, sadly--sustained damage in a dive accident over 15 years ago. I miss it! Whoa, cool lightning. Oh, ok--the "snake" is an eel! Still though... I ran out of oxygen at 110 feet down and couldn't find my dive buddy so I had to get to the surface from there! April is not so sure now if she wants to get certified after watching this, haha--SO much to learn and kind of scary at times!
Go Travel On The Cheap holy cow that’s a terrifying experience!!! We ended up getting our advanced open water but are already talking about the nitrox and how we get dual tanks 😂 such an addicting hobby!
It sure is
Oh man ... so freaking awesome, guys! Love that it turned out being a private lesson/tour... Intense, thorough training ... Thanks for the honest review ... Can't wait to see the update!
The update is- we're hooked on scuba and immediately went for our advanced training LOLOL! Stay tuned for more scuba videos with some absolutely stunning underwater footage.
Vegan Voyagers niiiiice! Yes! Can’t wait for more!
My mom and I and Marty want to take a vacation somewhere warm so Marty and I can go scuba diving and wear wetsuits and dive gloves and dive hoods and dive boots and dive fins dive masks and scuba tanks and bcds and regulators to breath from and breath underwater with my mom friend Marty where can my mom and I and Marty take a vacation somewhere warm
Congratulations! Scuba diving is such a fantastic thing to do, and doing it in those dreamy waters must be the experience of a lifetime. Also, how cool is it to knock off something from the bucket list?
Loved all the underwater shots ♥
Thank you!! We couldn't be more excited, in fact we've signed up to just go ahead and get our advanced certification this upcoming weekend- because WHY NOT?!
I love snorkeling but I've never tried scuba diving. It's been my dream for so long. It was great to see how this process looks like if I will do it in the future :)
Glad it was helpful information- we hope you get to scuba some day!
Awesome video guys!!! I always love to watch your adventures. Kudos to you for doing this and getting certified- so much amazingness to see underwater. The fish are so vibrant! And couldn't believe the sharptail eel. Did you get nervous at all while underwater?
Lauren Vacula at first it was nerve wracking being under there, but now that we don’t have to do all these life threatening training exercises, it’s SO much fun! We ended up getting advanced certified and saw the most Incredible reef we’ve ever seen- video coming soon!!
nice one, unfortunately at the time i was in Mexico there was a massive issue with seaweed.. :(
Ah that stinks. Timing can be everything.
What dive shop did you use to get your certification?
We’ve done almost all of our certs, through our divemaster, with Cozumel Dive School. We highly recommend them!
