    "We saw a big 4 meter shark swim right below us and then did a few more dives" The most Australian thing I have ever heard.

      As in, you are less likely to get bitten by a shark then you are to get hit by lightning, or get in a car accident(which are fairly frequent lol). Sharks don't really attack humans, even if super hungry. Most shark 'attacks' are them mistaking urfers for seals because the way they move, and even those incidents are incredibly rare. Just exercise proper caution you would with any wild animal, and you'll be fine.

    Despite the relatively simple build (compared to some of your other videos) this might be one of my favorites. The Big Iron underwater cover was hilarious, the breath-holding segment was beautiful, the large current genuinely suspenseful, and the ending was surprisingly wholesome.

    They sent you a true dual trigger kit. You don't normally want both triggers to be pulled at once by accident, so the difference in length allows you to tell which you're pulling without having to look down at the triggers themselves and also helping keep from mistakenly pulling the wrong one. Don't know if that really matters but I figured you may be interested to know why they sent different length triggers.

    4:40 Typically, double-barreled shotguns have two triggers that are offset vertically from each other, so that you can either pull them independantly, or together if you pull with two fingers/pull on the part at the top.

    This video may be one of the best of this channel, you combined your passion with the usual amount of tomfoolery and just the perfect amount of music and a little bit of cooking to make an exciting and relaxing video at the same time

    I love thé idea of actually having the audience hold their breath with you! Though people don’t realize how much harder it is when you have water pressure squeezing your chest and you’re swimming around.
    Also congrats on the monster king fish! I could only dream of getting a catch like that. I need to fish Australia sometime!

      I'm a painter, every so often I'll take off my respiratory gear just to get a little bit of relief from the discomfort and I'll hold my breath to not take in the fumes. If I'm not doing anything, I'll get 3 minutes. If I'm moving around, I'll be lucky if I last 1:20.. I can't imagine how much more difficult it is moving around with the water pressure on you as well.
