How We Stayed and Scuba Dived in Bora Bora for Just $40 per Day! - Episode 124 

I love how you guys identify the fish you see so we know what we are looking at. Tnx for that ! :)

I just LOVE that you nametag the different fish and wilde life you see when you dive. Pls continue with that. It's ok that you don't tag every fish. It's so much more intresting when you see what types of fish you encounter.

You guys made our day here in Sausalito, CA. We went to Bora Bora with you while we celebrated our birthdays with corn bread and fresh fruit for breakfast! Brooke, thank you so much for your superb editing including the fish name captions. Gary, your tour of your on-board dive shop was excellent. We cruised to Fr. Polynesia in 1976 - '77 on a 1 year visa on a Kendall 32 we had built from a bare hull. That Visa allowed us over a month at each island. So many fond memories. Lastly I took a screen grab of your eagle ray footage and I will use it as a screensaver.🤟

I was more interested in that burrito! Amazing underwater shots and background while Gary was giving an overview of your dive kit….that was good! Hugs you two 🤗

Syzygium malaccense is a species of flowering tree native to tropical Asia and Australia. It is one of the species cultivated since prehistoric times!

Thank you both for an adventure, in places, I will probably not get to see in this life. I really do like going with you both.

Please forgive me but every time I hear about pearl necklace I think of that song by Z Z Top Pearl Necklace. 😮 Thank you for taking me scuba diving. I've actually never been scuba diving. I used to free dive alot. But I was in my 50's back then. I used to dive between 30 and 40 feet regularly. But like I said I was younger than. And yes it was an extremely rare thing to see two Octopus together. I guess he was giving her a pearl necklace!😮

Another great episode. We also love how you identify the fish for us. Thank you so much. You are in my top 5 Sailing channels. We are really really enjoying your content and your adventures. 😊⛵⚓⛵⚓

Once again, awesome dive footage! It would definitely be difficult to check out of such a paradise.

GOOD MORNING SV ONE LIFE! mY FAVORITE SAILING CHANNEL.

You guys do the best job of photographing your dives. You commentary is great. I can't dive anymore and love to relive my dives through you. Been in the same waters in Tahiti and Bora Bora. Keep up the great work. You are making safety stops aren't you?

How beautiful. Glad to see you guys enjoying life and taking us with you on these adventures. Stay safe and well. Yolo! ❤🙏🏻🙌🏼

You’re not only bringing us beautiful videos of tropical places but you’re helping to remind us of how important our environment is and what a terrible loss it would be to see those places suffer from pollution. I’m in awe of those locations.

I think your best episode yet....the underwater footage was amazing , capturing the octopus was stunning but seeing your silhouette with the eagle rays was breathtaking.

You are right. The breathe taking moments with things people never get to see is why we dive. Great video.

It’s been said many times already in the comments, but again, thank you so much for putting the names of the fish on the screen when you are diving!

I love it when you show us your diving! And thank you for the explanation on how the diving works - very interesting!

I freaking loved it when you came into the school of Eagle rays. That was absolutely awesome.

Great episode!!! The diving looks spectacular and your taking us along is much appreciated as was the mini-documentary on how you manage your own diving!! Fabulous.... thanks... keep enjoying!

Great episode, so much color in those coral reefs!

Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏

What a beautiful and totally groovy episode. You guys are such a joy to follow.

Wonderful underwater footage and great video! 😍

I really believe you ate a mountain apple. Or maylay apple

G'day Brooke and Gary thanks for another awesome episode guy's it was amazing to see the dive spots. Hope your both doing well and staying safe cheers

Theres always some amazing footage to see..Well done on the filming and editing you pair 👏🏻👏🏻

Beautiful video again folks - thank you so much for sharing ❤

Lovely diving video /scenery. Wow has 3 months gone by already. Just seems like you have arrived there after your crossing the pacific ocean from Mexico. Good luck with the next leg of the adventure.

That's fantastic that you guys made it to Bora, Bora. I am grinning and I am not even there, lol. Wow, that shot of the surface above and the school of fish was awesome. I love the abundance of sea life and tom see the Octopi, wow. Oh wow, those Eagle rays.... mesmerizing. It's been a long time since I dived, but you guys are giving me the itch! Lol. Another great vlog :)

Your dives were amazing! Love the octopuses!

Thanks for another amazing video. I loved the rays, so beautiful! Enjoyed the video and watching from Queensland, Australia, as usual. :)

EPIC DIVE ❤

Amazing! Another video so quickly. Thank you!

Thank you for another great video guys!👍🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The fruit you talked at the final in Costa Rica is called "Manzana de agua" or "water apple"

Your fruit is called a rose apple in English. Great you got to try them. SOrry you weren't able to spend more time in Huahine; the most authentic island in the ISLV> Bons vents

Thanks for bringing us to Bora Bora. Loved the diving footage, octopuses mating, eagle rays. Saw my first eagle ray at Pulau Weh (Sabang) off Banda Aceh, Sumatra. Convinced me to invest in a prescriprion mask. Off the usual cruisers path, but lovely (2008). Health and peace

Congratulations on your journey, your living my dream!

Another enjoyable watch. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work & I look forward to seeing you both real soon. SV Kiwi Lady Opua Bay of islands New Zealand 👍🏿

Guys, I totally intend to get a dive compressor like yours. I love the little peek into that portion of your cruising. Thanks. Hate to see you leave the south pacific, but so much more to see. Cheers from Charlotte, NC!

What an amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing it.

Love the detailed break downs on various activities, you folks do it better that most. Would love to see an updated budget/Cost review since Mexico.

Absolutely love traveling vicariously through you. My ex husband was a PADI/PDIC instructor so I love watching your dives. That water…

Spectacular video as always, thank you for sharing

love your underwater footage and that you name the species when possible.

Great stuff guys. Love the new camera gear.

I'll be there in 6 days! I can't wait!

I just ordered one of your Epic Water Bottles! Thanks for the Heads Up!

Hey guys! Thanks for letting me tag along on another One Life adventure! Underwater footage was awesome as usual. Special thanks for the Octopi porn, made my night, lol! Topside water views, or color I guess, is amazing. You guys look so relaxed and enjoying your time. See ya on the next one!!

Amazing dive! Thanks for sharing!

Another great video thanks so much safe sailing.

nice, we are exploring cost of Corralejo now

Beautiful underwater world. Thanks for exposing that for us. Love your new pearl necklace Brooke. Nice review of your dive compressor and equipment Gary. It’s been a good while since I strapped a tank on but it all came back during your review. Another OUTSTANDING video. Thank you guys 👍👏🏻🥂 cheers…

Awesome video! We call them Jamaican apples in Caribbean, also known as Otaheite apple or Malay apple or rose apple

Great channel and video, as always!

What else ya gonna do when you have to kill 3 days in Bora Bora... Go Diving! As tempting as it probably was to follow that first Eagle Ray, it sure paid off sticking to the dive plan! Octopus mating and swimming with a large group of Rays... bucket list stuff!! Bye bye French Polynesia, hello whatever comes next!

Was such a good video 😊💙 thank y’all! We are prepping for our charter season and planning our diving trip to the Texas Flower Gardens before our season begins 🤞🏻 while Dave is super seasoned, I’m a bit of a novice in comparison. Your video helps me with understanding of all the aspects to include on the checklist 😁 Looking for that dive compressor and prepping for an amazing season of diving and sailing with customers in the Gulf of Mex and TX coast 🥰 safe travels! Excited to see what adventure 2024 will hold!

Happy Easter to Brooke and Gary and all my fellow viewers of this lovely channel . Cheers!

FYI, Gendarmerie (Army related) is usually in the countryside and in cities you will find the Police. Nice video btw. Cheers from Paris :-)

The dives were so good to see and I'm sure they were really great to be on live and in person. Love the show, excellent job on the editing.

Ditto below. Love the fish names!!!!

Seeing the Octopi was so Cool, I have been diving over 30years and I’ve never seen anything like that & I didn’t know that was how they bred either. They looked like they were different, but maybe just between males & females? I appreciate the extra time & effort it takes to identify and then label the Fish, it makes a difference to feel like you’re learning something too!

Great shots. Thanks for taking me with you😎

Good morning and Happy Easter Brooke and Gary. Amazing dive footage. Pretty amazing to be in Bora Bora, wow.. Thanks for sharing your adventures. ❤🥚😃

It’s amazing how you mix with the marine life. It looks so peaceful and wonderful. Thanks for such a great underwater video. Love from Justine and Raúl.

Great video thanks for sharing !!

Love the diving!

Ì have dived many places around the world, including french polynesia, and what you two got to witness and experience is what makes that place so special. It's the abundance of wildlife. Good episode!

Your videos are so special, thank you. Connecting to Nature makes us all better humans and often brings tears of gratitude to my eyes, as did the view of the school of spotted eagle rays. Thank you for my Sunday morning "service." Namaste. 🙏

Your cameras are amazing

It's always a good One Life vid when it involves a dive! Thank you!

Great video guys!

Another amazon video. Ya'll are seriously adding up in the 'once in a life-time moments'. Thanks for bringing us along. Congrats and Rock On!!

WOW , seems like and understatement with all the Rays . It was awesome , with all the other sailing shows I watch , I have never seen that many Rays in one spot . Truly a magical moment .. Look forward to your next adventure . Smooth seas .

Wow. What a wonderful video.

Amazing dive. Thanks Love it.

😀😀😀👍👍👍❤ Hello from Seattle, WA. Awesome dive footage! Very few can say they have been to Bora Bora! You guys are living the life, indeed. Thanks for the upload. Please keep them coming.

Love this type of video.

I love that you label the fish. and your camera footage is great what cameras do you use.

So did you guys also visit New Zealand during the South Pacific journey? I wouldn’t go to Australia but New Zealand is a must I would say.

Great episode tyvm

Epic diving footage. Brooke always does a great job.

After watching the political stress and thinking about where this country is headed , you guys are my respite and stress relief , thank you for that..

Beautiful place. I like Tahiti a bit better with more of a mix of old and new.

Amazing episode

New subscriber, love the dive footage

Loved this episode ❤❤

Thanks!

We love your adventures and your videos are fabulous. If we wanted to send you something where would we send it ? It's small but Brook you will love it . Cheers

Amazing!

Sorry I'm late!!! Seeing these shots of bays filled with sailboats got me wondering... How many of those boats are "production boats" like Jeammeau, Beneteau, or Catalina? Or is it mostly "blue water" boats?

Nice video of the eagle rays. Did you see the clownfish at that dive site? Did you skip diving ay the manta ray cleaning station in Bora Bora?

The fruit you were eating is a rose apple.

Awesome thanks awesome

Great video you two! Loved this episode. What app/webpage do you use to find dive sites? I loved the dive gear info session!

There is a YT channel SV Bora Bora. They are not sailing right now but I believe they left up all their previous videos.

That is what we call a rose apple im Panama Canal Zone.

You guys rock :)

So, you watched octopi mating. Does that make you voyuers?😂 thanks for all the videos

Not sure what Tahitians call the red fruit. Samoan name if Nonu or Gogu (sounds like "Gnognu"). Depending on the verity, it can taste like a plum or it can have an almost sweet but sappy flavor.
