I can’t believe this isn’t on a major streaming platform! This is some real treasure hunting and you are actually finding cool things! Great personalities and spirits all around. It really seems like you are on the right trail and I can’t wait to see what else you all find! Carl Allen and team, you are living the absolute dream. Pure freedom and adventure in the open world, searching for lost pieces of history that fuel your imagination and continue to connect our world with the past. ❤

[@HDDynalowrider]

They dont have time to play around with the camera crew and artificial drama. They are the real deal. Imo

[@jacksultan8146]

Nobody does it better than Carl what an amazing story that's unfolding in front of our eyes keep up the Great adventure as we all wait for the next big discovery

[@juliebutler1338]

A dream coming true, Carl! Be safe and happy with every dive. Looking forward to seeing the museum. Best regards to you, Gigi and your stellar staff and crew.

[@Kawika_808]

I remember in 1988 my mom was a waitress working in Destin. She received 2 silver coins from the Atocha as a tip. Holding those coins gives you a feeling that is hard to describe

[@cheesebro1872]

This is seriously underrated and I’ll predict a million views soon.

[@irener3259]

Looking forward to seeing your museum Carl and seeing more of what you found. Super excited

[@roseogrady8785]

Exciting... Good Luck.

[@Bb-yo6tr]

just in awe, such a legend.

[@worldwidebirthdaycelebrations]

From The Bahamas! Great job! There is another area that I've been very curious about since I was little. Its located in Nassau, directly opposite an area called Fort Charlotte. There are cannons pointing towards the sea. The Fort was erected to keep the pirates away! I've often wondered how many of their ships might have gotten blasted, and sunk, that might have been carrying treasure ! I hope you'll make this your next project! We really appreciate people such as yourself, showing the world, that the Bahamas is not just Sun, Sand and Sea, but it is Living History! God Bless! God Bless!

[@tysonhaile2927]

[@Bark3rd]

How do you ensure that no one follows you out of the harbor to your spot only to dive on it later? How do you know they arent out there at night?

[@kellyself8479]

Right here, right now! I love it! Way to go Carl. Great work and great video!

[@verona1pirate]

[@warrenlouisiana2277]

[@wreckapedia7487]

Awesome Mike, this is the perfect model for shipwreck exploration and recovery, fully inclusive, divers and Archaeologist working together to provide a learning experience through the new Bahamas Maritime Museum, benefiting todays and future generations, first class.

[@wreckashore9283]

Perfectly said. A shining example of private enterprise working in cooperation with the government. I hope that this museum continues to grow and becomes a world class destination site

[@bryanperry6385]

I live in the keys. Are you looking for more divers?

[@patrickjackman7982]

Well let see how it helps the Bahamian people or one person like usual. We are to be a wealthy nation of people but no government wants that time and time again so sad the sad song we will always sing.

[@TheOutdoorswithCarlAllen]

We have over 80% Bahamian employment on this project. We opened the Bahamas Maritime Museum in Freeport to conserve and display these artifacts. The museum also has an education center for Bahamian Youth. The museum has nearly 100% Bahamian employment. The Allens also own Walker’s Cay which employs many Bahamian people and will continue to do so for years to come. With Walker’s, we have started a Bahamian Education Fund in which we have donated over 1000 Amazon tablets to Bahamian schools. This project is in partnership with the Bahamian government. In essence, this project is By Bahamians, For Bahamians.

[@JS-sx3bl]

You tell ‘em. We others appreciate you diving this up again.👏

[@Almajedon88]

Con el invierno cuando desvaiste la arena tienen que revisar eso de nuevo hay hay más

How can I participate ?

Frog foot Said there are a lot of tiger sharks in this area.

[@wreckashore9283]

Have tank will travel… get me out there!

[@DHKEYWEST1]

Robert. Marx went back to Spain to recover his marvelous excudo 8 and he was going to sell me a 3 date 1652. I was born in 1952 July 20 in key west. The same day Mel found the atocha in the 1980s. Spain refused to give Robert his coins and sadly Sir Mark's sadly past away.

[@KnightXIXVII]

How do they know the good stuff isn't buried 10-15 feet deep under the sand? They could be missing out on a lot that's there.

[@TheOutdoorswithCarlAllen]

We use blowers to reach upwards of 20+ ft beneath the sand. We work over dead reef and do not harm the environment.

Wat up I'm Living in the Bahamas& I Love Adventure I take Vacation soon you'll link me I'm Ready to Search out My Home land

[@ralphd4879]

Thank you for the long version! I'd much prefer more quantity of vids, as opposed to slick editing and producing. Just show us the stuff live, whether it's sifting through the bottom sand with gloves or flats fishing for tarpon. Show us updates on the progress at Walker's. I'm interested in the chapel. I've hear rumors it did not survive. Tell us more about the upcoming fishing tournaments. C'mon, Carl! We're fans and we want something to cheer for, ya know? Much love to you, Gigi, and everyone at Walker's and the fleet!

[@TheOutdoorswithCarlAllen]

You can watch our Walker’s Cay episodes to see the updates and what happened with the chapel! For more content you can follow our Instagram and Facebook!

[@ralphd4879]

@@TheOutdoorswithCarlAllen Big thumbs up! Thanks! I just noticed you have over 4,400 subscribers. I think I was subscriber #40 and have watched every vid within about 10 hours of its release. Which episode talked about the chapel? I remember the head of construction dude mentioning it but he provided no details. If you know which episode it was, please let me know. If not, there are worse tortures than having to watch all the Walker's vids over again, ya' know? LOL! Thanks, Mr. Web Guy! Please let Carl and Gigi know that we love all the vids and we want him to do many, many more and far, far more frequently. Thanks!

[@patsypinder8581]

We appreciate your investment , thank you, you have everything money can buy, great. You deserve your 75%, no problem, but very current where is the transparency of where the Bahamian peoples 25% is shown, can not see it anywhere, thank you for jobs, but we the Bahamian people expect to see our 25% value. Nothing sitting in Grand Bahama to see, where are the 25% Emeralds, Amethyst, Gold and all other share, just very curious, would like to see reports of 25% share.

[@philipcallicoat3147]

Seems like every hidden treasure required a life... How many people are dead because of the dream of riches?☠️💔💔💔☠️

[@davidrolle7390]

Who has ownership of this stuff? Is it removed from the country?

[@dude999642]

I was assuming they'd SELL the artifacts for a nice profit. But if they are giving some or all of the booty to a museum, that's even better.

[@ralphd4879]

Hi, Dale! While I don't pretend to speak for Mr. Allen, I will say that I have never heard of him developing Walker's for a profit. I have heard him talk of his love for the Walker's Cay of his youth. Mr. Allen wants to bring that back and he's more than willing to spend his own cash to see this through. Also true- While I don't believe profit is Carl's primary goal in Walker's or treasure hunting, I hope he makes a gazillion dollars for what he's investing in the Bahamas! Live your dream, Carl! May you be blessed with the purest of your heart's dreams!
