Have you found Nemo yet? Where was the best snorkeling you've ever experienced?

@BeingBedingfield 3 года назад

Another lovely tour! I’ve never seen Nemo outside of a fish tank, so cool that you saw them on your snorkel! I absolutely love the village that you visited, very sad that their original village got destroyed, but how great that no one lost their lives in the tsunami. Well done to David for his first dive 👏💪 Almost on 1K guys 🥳

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

The villagers story was amazing. Some people are so resilient!

@AprilChu 3 года назад

You found Nemo! That's some beautiful, healthy coral and bright, colorful fish! I can't believe you saw that purple starfish. I have been snorkeling before but I have never seen this many fish. David, great job on your first dive! That's amazing that the elders on Morgan Village got everyone to safety during the tsunami. I remember news of that happening and how devastating it was. It's great to see the village rebuilt and thriving.

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

Yep, we were surprised too! It was so much more than we were expecting!

@TravelInteresante 3 года назад

We really enjoy visiting local villages like that to be able to support the communities. They need it now more than ever for sure. Those coral reefs were so beautiful and the fish so colorful wow. I can get down there a bit but Steve not so much, very nice of your guide, but even cooler David went for it!

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

I was so impressed with David’s dive. So fearless. My day is coming soon though.

@KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens 3 года назад

Morgan village looks so unique especially when the elders saw the signs of the big wave, something so special about this village. Wow the coral is absolutely beautiful, we've never seen such beautiful coral before. Drive site number 2 was super unreal especially when you found little Nemo 😍 well done David on your First dive, it looks so impressive and it must be so freeing to do it. You guys are living your absolute best best lives there in Thailand and the FOMO is super real. What a treat it was to go to the Surin Islands.

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

We had no idea what to expect when we went to Surin. It's so nice to be blown away. We are still designing our best life, but I'd say we are definitely on track! Thanks for watching guys! Regards from Thailand!

@TheMapPinners 3 года назад

Wow, I wish all the world's coral looked as healthy as that! That looks like it was amazing snorkeling! So fun you even saw Nemo there! Morgan Village looked beautiful too. That was a cool story how they were able to detect the tsunami before it hit and saved thousands of lives!

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

We didn't even know what healthy coral looked like until we saw Surin. Now that we know, I don't think we will look at the sea the same. It's amazing the things travel teaches you!

What a magical world you shared with me. It's mind boggling knowing such beauty exists for people to enjoy. I am not a diver and I don't snorkel. Without people like you I'd never get the discover the wonders onder water. 👍 🎥 💖 🌷 🙋‍♀️ Congratulations with your milestone subscribers. 🙏 🍾 🥂

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

Awesome! Glad you like them! We will get to the South Pacific one day too!

@Explorcation 3 года назад

The snorkeling at all three dive sites looked really good, but the variety of coral and amount of fish at #2 was absolutely amazing. The tour of Morgan Village was really cool as well. I love all the huts built up on stilts. I would love to visit this place someday!

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

You guys would love it! It's such an interesting place!

@TheAverageTourist 3 года назад

The snorkeling there seems incredible. I've always been a little afraid to go snorkeling because I have an irrational fear of sharks and other underwater creatures 🤣 but this looks like an incredible experience and the water is so clear! My favourite snorkeling adventure was in St Lucia.

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

At least you tried it before. I used to be scared of fish too, but I think I'm over that fear for sure now. Now, I'm fascinated by them!

@lucca_lee 2 года назад

@@LucasWorldTravel Near equator the sea is warm all year around you dont need to wear wet suit to protect the cold and most of the dangerous shark are inhabited in the cold water zone you may heard the incident in the US or Australia but not in Thailand like even it million of million tourist here. its very very rare that shark attack people here cause of most of the warm are calm but it can happen in the muddy water when they can't see and it not where people swim in the first place so they may bit but no one ever die by the shark in Thailand. the most common one and most dangerous on of all in this region is poison jelly fish but they are normally out in monsoon season that the sea is rough and boat should stay shore It's very safe even the kid can enjoy this activity in Thailand.

@frangy865 2 года назад

Same here! My fear of snorkeling or swimming in open water has governed my life for 50 years.... until I went to Thailand and visited the islands out there!! There are so many areas where the water is very shallow, crystal clear and full of fish. I gave it a go and was immediately addicted!! So much so that I went on a second trip of the islands to have another go. The following year I did the same🤣🤣. We ended up getting so carried away that we heard a strange noise, turned round and realised we were closer to another island than the one we were supposed to be on and they were shouting and whistling us back😬. I know it's going to seem pathetic to some people but, to me, it was a MASSIVE thing to overcome this phobia. Now I'm even watching diving videos on RU-vid all the time, especially shark ones, because I've always felt blind panic even just WATCHING things like that before. PLEASE, if ever you get the opportunity to do it, just try it. DON'T go with anyone that's going to force you or make you feel like a let down if you can't manage it. Even if you just sit in the water where you feel safe and put some goggles on and have a little look under water... even that's enough to see something cool! I hope you get to try it one day💜💜💜

@AlwaysonaJourney 3 года назад

That was lovely. I really enjoyed seeing the underwater shots. I've just bought a new snorkel but haven't used it yet. I'm like you I want to try diving but I'm also a scaredy cat.

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

I'm going to take a free diving course to get over that fear. I always feel more secure after a trained professional tells me that I'm competent or not.

Wow, even from the first bits of footage, this looks incredible! Definitely looks like the best snorkelling spot! Great that you get all your meals with that tour! That water is a gorgeous blue.. Wow what a story about the tsunami..so glad everyone survived! Did you use a filter on your underwater camera? The colours are so vibrant! Amazing footage, what a brilliant video, thanks so much for sharing 😍💖

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

Thanks so much Millie! We just do some simple color correct in iMovie to saturate the colors a bit more.

Looks so beautiful; we've done snorkeling in St. johns island in USVI and on Oahu in hawaii, both were beautiful but st john's was probably better. We were hoping to actually get scuba certification when in Thailand last year because we heard it was a beautiful place to snorkel and dive but unfortunately...2020... hopefully we'll get to experience the beautiful corals and fish there one day. Thanks for sharing!

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

Yes one day Indeed! We hope to get scuba certified one day too. We’ll start with a free dive course first though!

Such an amazing experience, the under water looks so beautiful. I'm was amazed you captured the cute nemo, its really cute when she/he play the coral. is the $82 snorkeling tour is the cost of the two of you or each person?

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

It was the cost per person so this one is a little pricey but worth it in our opinion!

@megahern8467 3 года назад

@TideKnotTravellers 3 года назад

That snorkelling did look gorgeous! I (Kirsty) got bitten by one of those black and yellow striped fish in Cayo Arena in Dominican Republic... did have food in my hand though! 😂 I always love how delicate and tiny Clown fish are when you see them up close in the sea 😍Great duck dive David! 👏was it $82 for the both of you or each?

@LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

Wow did the bite leave a mark or it was it just a little nudge for attention? It was $82 per person.

@stangoodvibes 2 года назад

Agreed. Covered every island in Thailand and Similan National Park is the best snorkeling. Second best is Koh Lipe. The diving at both is outstanding as well. The Andaman beats the Gulf any day 😁

@LucasWorldTravel 2 года назад

We still need to take diving lessons. One day we’ll get to that level. Glad to hear in your experience Similan and Surin are the best.

@stangoodvibes 2 года назад

@@LucasWorldTravel Do it! It's the best way to see cool stuff, meet fun people, and look cool while doing it 😅 And if you are in Thailand then yes, Similan wins. Although Koh Lipe does have the most amazing coral gardens and the bonus of being ridiculously cheap (2800 pp for two dives getting down to 2000 after a few dives). Stonehenge is our favorite dive spot here (still on Lipe after 2 weeks. Loving it!)

@lisafaireymusic Год назад

Why did you select the Surin Islands over Phi Phi? Have you been to Phi Phi? I've not been to either, but have been snorkeling in Koh Samui. One of the best experiences of my life!!

@LucasWorldTravel Год назад

Yes, we went to Phi Phi when we lived in Krabi so Surin was our next adventure. Phi Phi Island is prettier, but the snorkeling is much better on the Surin Islands.

@gillian123ist Год назад

we went to similan island trip and found the fish all the same and and not a lot of them and the coral very bland but the boad trip and islands were lovely, the snorkeling in egypt was much better, bigger fish and so many different kinds and the coral so colourful.

Interesting to hear! Thanks for the tip!

@adriankaiser6572 3 месяца назад

Hello! I would be interested in how to book the trip cheaper! Could you explain it a bit more detailed to me? ☺️

@LucasWorldTravel 3 месяца назад

You can book through Klook here. www.klook.com/invite/RAZWEA?c=USD Just search for the Surin Islands and current tour options should come up. I think it’s $75 without pickup and $89 with accommodation pickup.
