I caught a HUGE LOBSTER (with my bare hands!) 🦞
Our Dive System: www.airbuddy.c...
After sailing to this amazing anchorage I dived into the crystal clear water and caught a giant lobster (well, giant compared to what I usually catch) and then got to explore the most amazing 18th century town that is the amazing port of 'Charlestown'.

For everyone messaging me and asking about my under-water breathing equipment, this is the system we're using here: www.airbuddy.com/?ref=aJ0aLM Now let me say a few things before you run off and buy one. Firstly I have nothing to compare it to other than free-diving. I've never scuba dived before in my life and I've never used another hookah before. I did do a lot of due diligence when it comes to understanding the dangers of breathing compressed air under the water. In short, these things are dangerous and not to be taken lightly. If you think this is something you'd be interested in then please do speak to a diving expert (I've had the good fortune to learn from several, in terms of theory, as well as my own continued reading). We really enjoy this electronic hookah as it's small, lightweight and seemed (to us) perfect for the little space we had on the boat, where dive tanks and a compressor just wouldn't fit, as well as add a lot of additional weight. If you use the above link and you do buy one too then we will get a small kick back which will go towards Hanks treat jar, it's the same price regardless of if you go to the company directly, but I know some people feel a certain kind of way about us getting any kind of kick backs, so if that's you then just google 'air buddy dive system' and go to the site directly, again the price is the same regardless, but I'd like you to feel good about how you got there, so, there you have it. What else can I say? We bought the system directly from the company in Australia. We bought it ourselves and paid full price for it. We saw a 'distributer' in the UK, but they wanted close to double the price and had similar wait times to simply ordering direct from Australia, so that's why we went direct and just paid some import taxes, which still worked out much cheaper than the UK distributer. The team at Air Buddy have also been amazing on the other end of my emails and questions, for us it's been a very positive after sales service. Again I've never tried any other products so I am in no way qualified to give any advice other than say that we use this most days and have been enjoying it, we've used it to check on the anchor, clean under the boat mid-season, explore some amazing reefs and do a spot of foraging too. We get close to an hour under the water on my own or about 50 minutes when Carly is attached to it too. I hope that's answered most of the questions which have come my way but if you have any more then again please do just ask and I'll do my best to answer them from my own anecdotal experience.
These are the only ones that feel like they end after five minutes! There’s just never enough of your videos and this one was really special to me because of the Shackleton story and it’s relation there. You’re a wonderful Storyteller, it makes time just fly…….❤

I’m glad you enjoy the videos and I hope I managed to do some justice to the sheer gravity of the Shackleton story in such a short space of time. 😊🙏🏼
Hey fellows, great to hear and see the incredible story of Shackleton. When I read the book about this journey, I named my ship ENDURANCE and the dinghy DUDLEY DOCKER, all in honor of Sir Ernest Shackleton! Greetings from Holland

Thank you, Sir. Always happy to see you're still chasing to hang out with us and enjoying the adventures ☺️
Yet another brilliantly produced episode. Thank you to you both and to Hank for the walking guides😉 I follow many a sailing channel where most travel the world, but yours shows we have so much to offer here in Britain, which many never get to explore from a sailors perspective. Fair winds, calm anchorages and my the weather be forever in your favour.x
I know Charlestown well and once we get our new to us boat in the water next spring, we plan a trip down the South Coast towards the West Country and I intend to use your website as my travel guide when looking for amazing anchorages. Keep the videos coming, Im looking for inspiration.
You two are so fortunate a fantastic time to have each other and share this wonderful life.

You three can really make every story so interesting! I have heard Shackleston's story before but your video excerpts were new to me and added so much to making that story come alive. I read somewhere that eating ice cream stifles your heroism! Anyway that's the excuse I'm using.
hah! I used to go to the school up the top of that road. Hank's walk was our cross country running course. We regularly used to jump and fish off from that quay :D

I think there’s a very old movie about it, but certainly feels like a more modern telling of the story is in order.
A gem of a place. Lovely episode…a great challenge to capture the essence of the Endurance story so well in a short interlude.

We were fishing off the rocks at nerrabilly last year and managed to get a 10 inch stauner i had it in my hand but it managed to wriggle out !!
Saw some recent pics of the Endurance where it lays on the bottom still in surprisingly good shape can still see name clearly on transom well preserved in those waters
Hi Dom - Brilliant video as always. Can I ask please, what is the large flexible solar panel I often see you get out on your foredeck?
A few years ago the Sydney Maritime Museum (Aus) had a major display on that Shackleton Expedition. Having read several books on the expedition and rescue, it was very emotional to actually touch the boat they sailed. Incredible people. Yes, a different breed!

Hi guys Is it legal to go spear fishing or getting lobster with that electric breathing rig. As far as I’m aware it’s illegal to do it with scuba gear?
@CadohaAdventures
9 ай бұрын
It depends where you are. Here on the south coast of the UK it's illegal to spearfish whilst scuba diving but you're allowed to forage shell fish and crustaceans.
The filming gets better and better. A good friend had his grandpa on the Endurance. He told me their fear was not knowing if their leader got to land. Bloody brave people and outstanding skipper. Dom, just a suggestion, but work on your ´fade to black' at the end of your vlogs. Thanks for all you do🙏🏽👍

It depends on so many factors, age, make, model etc. From £10k-£200k? You could likely find lots that are similar spec to ours originally, age, model etc for 25-40k?

Stop catching lobsters and stop encouraging others to catch them too. Haven't you seen they're disappearing! You are contributing to their disappearance.😢

I’m actually a conservationist and a hunter. The reality is that the impact from foragers is almost zero in the grand scheme of lobster hunting. The great thing about lobster fishing, as opposed to almost every other type of commercial fishing is that they keep them alive right up to the point of sale, so you’re very much able to buy live ones from the commercial guys and put them back if you feel that strongly about it though 👌🏼
