Fantastic adventure guys, thanks for sharing ....... not Trolling and I am not being critical, but thought you might consider researching sea snakes a little more ..... there are a lot of misconceptions regarding sea snakes out there...... Yes they are highly venomous, Yes they do have relatively short fangs (which in the front of their mouths, not mid fanged as a lot of ppl seem to think). ...... However they are snakes and other than having relitively short fixed fangs (some other snakes have hinged fangs) they are still quite capable of opening their mouths very wide ..... so potential bites zones are not restricted to ear lobes, inter digit webbing or the errand finger or wandering toe. They also don't really have tiny mouths ...... which should have been obvious from the specimen you encountered (most sea snakes have quite a thick mid body so I guess their heads of some may appear to be relitively small. It is very unusual to be bitten by a sea snake, they are considered curious but not aggressive (unless entangled in fishing gear or harassed), the last recorded fatal envenomation in Australia attributed to a sea snake was a Prawn trawler crew member in 2018 prior to that a Japanese pearl diver in the 1930's (very rare.....but not to ear trifled with). You did a great job safely releasing your catch, I would just strongly advise all not to try a tickle any snake under their chin (so to speak), keep calm and try and stay a safe and respectful distance from them (this can be challenging with sea snakes as I mentioned earlier they can be curious) Happy days

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers for the info Dan, very interesting! Definitely could see how wide that snakes mouth went around the boat hook!

[@nikcrosina]

an Epic Hole, good on ya's

[@sailingpopao]

Cheers it was epic!

[@billskelton3701]

Just replaced my 15 year old computer with top of the line job and new 27 inch screen. Your stuff has always been great to watch, but now I feel like I am seeing for the 1st time. The video was absolutely amazing. stunning even. WOW what a difference. Its like when we went from black and white TV in the 60's to color. What in the world is that on the back of your boat? It looks like antlers? anyway, thanks for the vid from South Carolina, US.

[@sailingpopao]

Bhahahhaha this is too good BIll! You might have to go back and watch a few of the older vids too really enjoy them too 😜 Yes they're some old deer antlers we picked up along the way. Gifts for a friends fishing shack.

[@coryjoe0420]

Just another epic epi!

[@sailingpopao]

Awesome photography guys xxx❤

[@sailingpopao]

Thank you Carol 😊

[@matto73]

Would love to see East Diamond islet , Thats my dream Coral Sea destination!!!

[@sailingpopao]

Absolute dream location!! We spent weeks waiting for the right weather but unfortunately stuffed it up with the change of the trade winds (they went to East) we know for next time though. We had to settle for Flinders, Heralds & Holmes in stead 😜 those episodes will be coming up in a few weeks.

[@fishandcookaustralia8112]

Once again fantastic 👏 👌

[@sailingpopao]

Thank for watching 😁

[@fishandcookaustralia8112]

Thats why I'm a patron love your adventure. Mal

[@robertlaird6746]

Those blue holes are so beautiful. I love the sand ridge in your last blue hole. Makes me want to visit the Great Barrier Reef and stay for several months.

[@sailingpopao]

Thanks Robert, yes that sand ridge 😍😍 What an amazing spot. ❤I would highly recomend visting asap. It's in great condition atm (due to lack of cyclones/weather/bleaching events)

[@robertlaird6746]

@@sailingpopao What do you mean by bleaching events?

[@jasonmckenzie3840]

As always another awesome video guys. You guys are absolutely the best KZbin channel to come from our beautiful country. Love your videos and your editing is great and getting better and better. Bloody well done 👍

[@sailingpopao]

Nawww thanks Jason, you're too kind ☺

[@JaneLeggate]

Absolutely stunning shots of the reef!! Am really loving watching your videos. What app do you mention at the start to get satellite pictures of the reef?

[@craigwall8404]

Sorry couldn’t hear the name of the Satellite app?

[@sailingpopao]

Hi Craig, it's Alpine Quest, unfortunately only available on android.

[@Superbobstar]

What do you think of going to the Ningaloo?

[@sailingpopao]

We spent a bit of time there on a roadtrip a few years back and it was certainly a highlight. We'd love to get Popao there one day, there's just so much good stuff between here and there 😛

[@TheGlynJones]

Gday guys great vids. What is the app name to navigate out of reef please Cheers Glyn

[@sailingpopao]

Hi Glyn, thanks for watching. The app is called alpine quest.

[@joelingtonmcjoule5603]

[@sailingpopao]

Hi Joel, it’s called alpine quest 😋

[@Silly_fishing_penguin]

What’s been the deepest depth in these blue holes?

[@sailingpopao]

I think 34 has been the deepest, there are four more holes out there one of which I’ve heard it’s over 50! Gotta leave something for next season 😝
