Coming in September. Can't wait!
If anyone is watching from Ramons village snorkel tours, then SHOUT OUT TO KOALA! He helped my son overcome the fear of getting into the water, so he can see the fish and sharks at Hol- Chan Reserve. Thank You KOALA❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢
Hi! we were just there a week ago. We stayed at Caribbean Villas! I recommend it! Great food, great prices, great views! great service!
Great video Charlie! Found out about you through StanzFam channel that I stumble upon recently. Looking through all videos, I see that you've been to my motherland, the Philippines. Can't wait to watch that video. I love your cooking in StanzFam channel. It's great that you incorporate your culinary knowledge that you've learned from your travels in the videos. Subscribed from the concrete jungle of NYC!
That was a great video in a new sub to your channel the food looks delicious and the views of the Island were beautiful. I liked that it wasn't so crowded so you picked the best time to go. What was the temperature there when you were filming this video?
Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing! The temperature in Belize is normally 82 to 90 degrees. Occasionally, a bit cooler in the winter months, and hotter in the summer. That video was filmed in November - and it was ~87 that day!
2nd divesite Layag Layag?
Anong chika?
Banana Daiquiri
Anyone have any insight regarding the stands right at the corner outside Super Aki? Drove past them multiple times and they always had a line of locals....
I have not been to that particular line of stands on Ave Coba, but i'm sure there are a few impressive vendors. Taco stand real estate on Avenida Satellite is fierce! And there are more vendors arriving to the area every week.
Another captivating dive by Bonafide and Mermaid. I would love an invitation to see this in person…
In which Country Is Belize...
When and why did it become acceptable for women to wear those bikinis with just a string running up the back? That's not covering up, but showing full nudity in the back. Any woman who does that is a major red flag.
The yellow coconut is really called a King Coconut that is available in Sri Lanka and Kerala as well.. The more orange coloured one is really tasty... Try it Charlie sometime..
Absolutely! I love coconuts - i'll keep an eye out for that King Coconut next time i'm on that side of the world.
Love the Energy, Grate Video.
Thanks my dude!
Was truly blessed/privileged to have visited Belize in the early 1970s. When it was simply known for diving and what was known as bullets small bags of GANJA .... YOU BETTER /BELIZE IT❤❤
Yes! I can only imagine how spectacular the diving must have been. I do my best to document the reefs now...before they are gone.
Beatiful! How do you pay , USD or card ?
You need to add Dougs invented float. Founder is from Isles of Capri, Fl The Zero Gravity Float™️ is simple and functional. From beach pillow to float with beverage holders. Attached a leash for ideal snorkeling, bring your water bottles with you. Cheers 👍
Great video Charlie! Beautiful sailfish. Thanks for sharing!!!
Gracias! It's surprisingly difficult to kite fish while filming yourself. We stitched the video together as best we could.
You and Ken make some rocking videos!
Ken is the luckiest guy I know. It all works out when he's steering the ship. Or golf cart.
Cool
lol ! You must of been editing for the last three weeks another great video!
I brought in some industrial help. :)
Florida asap
Working on it!
Love the soundtrack. Thompson Town Flowers
Gran canaria y el hierro Lanzarote por la isla de la Graciosa espectacular
Bayside Gourmet Blackened Grouper Reuben
I'm not much of a reuben fan, but that particular sandwich is definitely on the list as one of the best on the island! no doubt!
How far do them golf carts go ? Im coming next month & my airbnb is about 30 minutes north of downtown San Pedro
That's a long way outside town, but certainly closer to secret beach. Golf cart mileage depends on how you drive! A full tank of gas usually runs for a week.
@@BonaFideWorldGuide are there any clubs for bars nearby i wanna explore a little
Great video Charlie! Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Working on two more videos from Belize.
Hell ya ! Great to see you back filming.👍
Trying to keep the momentum going. Too much time filming, not enough time editing. Working on it.
Love these....more more 👍
Thank you! A few more videos in production.
Hiiii 😍🖤🥰🇺🇸🍻🍺👊
Ahoy! Thanks for watching!
How much per pound are the fish markets and restaurants paying for lionfish in 2024? Any idea?
Typically - wholesale lionfish is sold at between $4 and $6 per pound (usually a whole fish). I believe there is also a government incentive to harvest and sell them. Here's a handy list of wholesale dealers: myfwc.com/media/17877/lf-wholesaledealerlist.pdf
Taking my daughter here for her first wreck dive in a month! I love this wreck….was one of the first divers on the wreck after it get flipped right side up back in 2005 after hurricane Dennis. SO much fun!
That is epic! Hopefully you can catch calm conditions with excellent visibility and weak current. The sharks and groupers are still hanging out and doing their thing as of June 2024.
Stupendous wreak. I have done thousands of dives and hundreds of wreak dives, including the Bianca C in Grenada West Indies. Another amazing wreak. This one is 20 feet shallower and looks like much less current too. Would love to do it. Thanks for introduction.
That is epic! The Bianca C looks absolutely incredible - I have to make my way to Grenada for that one. No question.
I can remember when the Vandenberg was dock here in Port Canaveral. I will definitely make a dive trip down to key West the see her again.
Awesome! I found some vintage photos of the Vandenberg when it still had all its radar dishes. Check it out: www.shipspotting.com/photos/2111377
What are the idle and on plane draft (incl jack plate) of the Freeman 28 bay boat?
did you buy a hat from mandingo? the belizean tripod hat maker on the bike at the 17:23 mark? He was one of my drinking buddies while down at caye caulker!!! kzread.infoWEv6B9WJQ4s www.youtube.com/@luvmy32000
I should have! I guess i'll just have to make another trip! Your channel is awesome by the way.
Do you allow sidemount diving or backmount doubles
Certified divers visiting the Vandenberg are allowed to dive whatever configuration they prefer - provided the operator taking you to the wreck is aware of your anticipated dive profile if you're deco diving.
What’s the depth profile ?
At 524 feet long, the Vandenberg is almost two football fields long and stands 10 stories tall. The ship's structure begins at depths of about 50 feet and continues to a depth of 145 feet,
Está claro que ay se ven profesionales del buceo 😃👌😜
Es muy importante tener mucha experiencia en buceo al explorar cenotes y cuevas.
Casa blanca pero con barcos 😎😎😎😜😜😜👌
Está bien pero ve mucho buseador mayor y pico en forma que a lo mejor tienen mucha experiencia pero puede ser un peligro para los demás buceadores
Buenas zona de buceo
Son espectaculares las imágenes yo buceo también en canarias España 👌⚓🤿🇪🇦
Me gustaría visitar las islas canarias para bucear. ¿Cuál es tu sitio de buceo favorito allí?
What guide was this?
That is the legendary Daryl Smith: www.flywithmebelize.com/
Definitely one of those must do dives. Awesome.
We were lucky to catch it on a day with excellent visibility.
Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!
Glad to have you here on the channel! More Belize videos on the way...
Have you done a video on the pros and cons of retiring in Belize? J
Great video Charlie! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching! I'm planning a few more trips on the Vandenberg this summer - hopefully the conditions cooperate!
Such an awesome day exploring the Vandy with all of you!
Super star! You'll know that ship inside out and backwards once you finish divemaster training.
Awesome day of diving! Come back anytime to explore the wreck.
Hell yeah man! Give my best regards to the Captain's Corner crew. I'll be back at the end of June.
Another awesome video sir! I have to get there, I love the Spiegel and Duane so the Vandenberg next on my list!
Thank you my friend. The Vandenberg should absolutely be your next stop on the wreck diving circuit here in the Florida Keys.
And Thank You for all you do. 😊
The least I can do is share amazing places. More to come. Thanks for staying with the channel.
