It's gorgeous until your dct transmission blows up after 11y!! 😢
That’s what the Ferrari power warranty is for 👌🏼
@@DanielFrench at $6500/year you're still "rolling the dice"....
@@DanielFrench if you have a 2010 you can only warranty up to year 15 ... so this would be the end of 2024!
Not if you buy approved used. Comes with two year warranty.
@@DanielFrench you mean CPO - i suppose, but you'll end up paying $20k over market price
Glad to You got your dream car. I dream of FARRARI:s. I wish I'd started saving for a FARRARI when I started working at 18. But who thinks like that at 18?
Well I guess there’s always this present moment to start to save for your dream 😊
Think the issue simply is that you're diving for sharks. Therefore, when you see one, you don't let it know you're not to be messed with, instead you move away, makes sounds, and let it choose who to get near to. Sharks, especially ones such as this, need to know you're serious, i.e. carry a stick, and prod it quite hard if it gets too close, nothing with teeth like that should be getting in your personal zone, or it can simply decide what part to remove, and there's nothing you can do about it, and you may die.
Nice car! How do you not have a front license plate? I thought they were mandatory in the UK?
Thank you 🙏🏼 The front end has just been recently PPF’d and I need to get round to adhering the front number plate on.
Siiiiick💪
Very nice footage and then …….. bloody pop-up adverts right across the centre of the screen. F**k that, aborted.
Looks great, but is it normal for visibility to be that poor? Or is that just because it is in a shipping channel?
Yes! Often the visibility can be much worse - we had some good days! But every dive is different, so some days could be better or worse vis. Thanks for watching 👀 👌🏼
Didn't expect a caterham to sound this good
Yeah the R500 with the de-cat, pipercross air filter and loud exhaust really is something special to hear!
So, I am still somewhat of a new diver. Got like around twenty dives under my belt. Would I be ready to dive with sharks? Are people not afraid of seeing their first one? I know they get really bad press but i can not imagine being surrounded by them.
In short, yes! you are ready! Choose a reputable guide / company, that don't feed them - and you'll have an awesome experience. The first shark you see will be an unforgettable experience (I definitely remember the first shark I saw) and will certainly get the heart pumping, but there's really nothing to worry about - they are more scared of you, than you are of them (great whites aside!).
@@DanielFrench Thank you for the answer! Can not wait to get there then! :D
You’re welcome - get it booked! I’m certain you’ll enjoy the experience 👍🏼
Уже не пераое видео, где тюленей, кроме камеры🙂 очень интересуют ласты дайверов. Собственно, из всех дайверов только ласты и интересуют😂 что это значит для них?
here is your finally sence of speed in gran turismo
Congratulations man
Thanks ☺️
Congrats Daniel, sick number plate!
Thanks 🙏🏼
my dream is the 458 as well.... currently in a gt4. Will get there one day. Congrats on a dream realized!
Thanks bud - it really is a dream come true… I feel very grateful to be fortunate enough to own it! One day your time will come too - good luck 😉
Nice one Dan, that's a bit special 👌
Cheers Steve - maybe we’ll go for a drive sometime in the future 👍🏼👍🏼
Congratulations, Daniel! It is a very cool car!
Thanks Val! Hope you’re keeping well 👍🏼
And I thought Keldan lights were expensive..
😂😂 - made me chuckle when I read this 🤭🤣
Excellent video, really well put together. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride 👍
Well done mate, fabulous car. Sadly unless I win the lottery I'll never have one but am pleased for anyone who has worked hard enough to have such an amazing thing in their lives.
Thanks very much - I was using it as a daily driver, but it just didn’t work out, so I sold it after around two months of ownership…. That was like ten years or so ago…. I have worked and saved hard, and have just purchased a 458 spider as a weekend / fun car - which I’m in love with 😍 video coming up on my channel in next couple of days 👌🏼👍🏼
@@DanielFrench can't wait to see it! 👍
It baffles me that it can be called a sport, a sport should always be accessible to anyone, not just people with money behind them..... joke. Go a give a joyrider from a council estate a go, he smash the lap records....... FACT.
That was just a fun track day, not a sporting event…. I’ve worked hard for my toys and achievements - they are rewards to myself… nothings been handed to me.
@@DanielFrench yeah sorry I'm just highlighting that "motorsport" it should never be classed as a sport. Not aimed at you personally.
That's an opinion..... stupid one at that
@@carlwicks2088 it's a fact full stop... a sport is were anyone no matter what your background can participate not just people with money!!!!!
@@johnwayne3420 lol "full stop" look up difference between fact and opinion.
Gorgeous underwater environment!
Yes, absolutely - I’d highly recommended seeing it for yourself. What I’ve shown in the video really is a snapshot of what it looks like, but to experience it yourself is honestly amazing 😻
That’s the definition of on the edge
10+...elegant and well executed Daniel. Leaving for Maldives 04/07/24....three weeks of spectacular diving!
Thank you very much - hope you have an amazing trip and see lots of cool stuff (I’m sure you will!)
Bro looking super fast & good for the win but ends up 5th! I know the feeling at the very same track. Brilliant driving tho 🤝
Thanks! Was bloody good fun though!
Thoughts on x1 keldan light vs x2 cheaper lights?
I like the keldan lights, robust, easy to use underwater, lots of power… But with only one light you’ll inevitably create shadows, so two is always better than one!
GoPro is not allowed as its mentioned on the website
Excellent
Great video. How did you manage to hold the GoPro so steady? It didn't even go under the water most of the time!
Thank you, just held it in my hand with a wrist lanyard. Was great fun!
Beautiful circuit
It sure is!
Great film Daniel! Good camera work with creative edits. Headed to the Maldives soon.
Thanks very much - when and where are you going? 👍🏼
Great video! Not many good dive location review videos out there, definitely helped me consider komandoo
Thank you, I guess it’s not really a review video, but gives you a good idea of what you can get to see…. Komandoo is a decent island and the team from Prodivers are really good, plus the DPV scooter diving adds a decent twist of something different to experience 🤿👌🏼👍🏼
Nice work Daniel ! Saw this one via MathiasLebo show. I liked the nice vibes (music) and the clear A7SIII shots !
Thanks very much, means a lot - appreciate it 👌🏼
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well done both. Surprised at the Ginettas performance. whats it kicking out?
How was the current? I am planning to dove there
lindo o lugar, gosto de mergulhar, parabéns.
Really enjoyed your video Daniel. We were in sun island and saw a whale shark was fabulous. see video - We noticed this whale shark had two triangular shape parts missing on its tail - perhaps from a shark so we named her 'Shark Bite'. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4RoxseKl7uYppM.html
Thank you, I’m pleased you enjoyed my video. I’ll watch yours now, thanks for sharing
Fantastic video as always! Thanks for sending me the link 🙏🏼 🤿 🦈 now we’re even more excited to go on the serenity soon.
Thank you 🙏🏼 enjoy emperor serenity, it’ll be wonderful experience 👍🏼👌🏼
Wow!!! what’s your camera set up?! The quality and resolution is amazing! We’re going on the emperor serenity beginning of December 2023. super excited 🤿 🦈
Hiya - well Emperor Serenity in December 2023, will be incredible for sure... The boat is beautiful, and the diving is fantastic (as always in the Maldives)... Another video I made, which I've linked to below, was filmed on Emperor Serenity on the deep south tour of January 2022, so you can get an idea of what you will see:- kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6mfr5WRoMuoqZc.html In terms of video equipment I used, the list is below:- Sony A7Siii Mirrorless Camera Sony SEL2870 28-790mm Lens Nauticam NA-A7Siii Underwater Housing Nauticam WACP-1 Wide Angle Conversion Port 2x Keldan 4x Underwater Video Lights with Ambient Light Filters Keldan Red Nauticam Clamps and Float Arms DJI Mavic 3 Final Cut Pro X
@@DanielFrench thank you so much! Another Fantastic video 🤿🦈
Gorgeous colours, and also very sharp corners. I use a similar rig, but I prefer to use the WWL-1B because I like to have the flexibility of Changing focal length underwater. Instead of the Keldans, I use Kraken Hydra 15000’s because I am poor, and actually cannot see the difference in the quality.
Cheers Rod - I know what you mean with regards to the WWL and having the versatility underwater…. Having spent q fair amount of time with the WACP-1 I’ve found I can almost achieve everything I want, without needing to change (macro aside)… My latest video where I removed a lot of the narrative 🤦🏼♂️🙈 shows some more of the range achievable with WACP-1, wide to close ups. I think the fundamental is enjoying the process of discovery, albeit through the diving itself or videoing, or a combination of both. Best wishes.
Same laptime than 981 Cayman gt4!
I didn't know you could download and install a time/date/weather and/or Spotify app to the BMW screen in the middle of the dash. I wonder I to do that.
Really cool. It is just not too much. It´s perfect customization for this car. I would do similar think if I have the money one day ;)
Thanks mate - has been on the car almost 4 years and still looks great!
Most underrated car in the world. Bugatti most overrated
it's not that underrated, it's legendary, one problem with the Caterham is that first, it's a car to drive ONLY on track days or weekends, second, it is so dangerous to drive because of it's primitive aerodynamics that in every single corner you are losing control of it. Unless you are a very skilled driver that car ain't for you, otherwise you die
Bugatti has left the chat😂
Because they didn't bring it on the nurburgring, where bugatti smacks that car by a whole 20 seconds
$50000 car beat $1 million car
yes on a short twisty circuit
oh god. another wanker video making a fool of himself not being capable of toe heeling properly or matching downchange revs. you're unbalancing the car and stressing the drive train.
Very nice brings back memories of those dive sites
Thanks, pleased you enjoyed it and I’m also pleased you could relive some of those wonderful sites. Happy diving 🤿👌🏼
Awesome video and great place! Thanks for sharing it. Greetings from Czech Republic!
Thank you very much!! I’m pleased you found it enjoyable - the Scuba Diving in the Maldives is the best 🥰🤙🏼
1/4 the price ,1/3 the powerand weight . 1 / 10 the aerodynamics . 10 times the fun
