RIP Darwins Arch + Hammerheads GALORE! [Part 6]

Find out if Brady's camera survived a flooded housing, see why we made it to Darwin Island just in the nick of time, and experience the beauty of schooling hammerheads and night time cave dives! This was a special one to put together considering it couldn't be filmed the same way now :)

AH MAZ ING! Damn what a fine adventure!!

[@baeschler]

You guys! This is probably the last edited video with Darwin's Arch ever to be seen and you guys did it. This video is historic.

[@zzzxxzzz3248]

Thanks for sharing !

[@richmorpurgo5554]

Blue’s narration is bad ass!

[@dougmacgregor5053]

This moment speaks to your creativity so well @ 18:55 Brady getting the bad news, so well shot from a distance... no sound

[@BohemianBeatster]

Super groovy episode - Hammerhead Shark - Double groovy.

[@heinrichwesson]

Incredible footage!

[@BruceDWolcott]

Amazing cinematic show, I love the hammerheads

[@jackflash00002]

In nature nothing stays the same😊all things do pass😢c’est la vie!

[@johnbeck2797]

You have so many unique experiences. Thanks for taking us along.

[@johndixon5097]

Another great video. Keep up the good work!

[@trevorbyron9448]

Amazing vlog...

[@noeljoshforu]

Awesome video guys, fantastic footage of the ocean. Keep up the good work

[@briandale8386]

The old classic video of hammerheads swirling below in large numbers is the best . Incredible

When you're down in the reef And there's two sets of teeth, That's a More!

[@Metaplayer]

A royal sendoff to the arch, rest in pieces...

[@chantalrochon3566]

Magnifique 😻

[@mykirbs2002]

Omg so sad about the Darwin Arch.😞 Beautiful undersea action!

[@bartwesp4303]

I enjoy when you drop your stills into the video, very Art Wolfe.

[@TomSmith-nx3hx]

Wow. You packed some serious quality content and editing into this. Thank you.

[@vinuezaer]

Thank you, thank you thank you. Love for Ecuador!

[@380Scania]

Great footage and a great way for me to unwind after taking calls for 10 hours in the emergency control room. Thanks for the chilled vibes Brandy and Blue xx. Greg 🇬🇧

[@benshore7357]

Looking good. I think a t shirt with a picture of the arch would be cool 😎

[@suheinmoure1665]

The photography of the arch though, STUNNING!

[@MC-re2ry]

Well B & B . . . . you don't do it very often. But when you do, oh baby.

[@CruisersAcademy]

:)

[@JiSat]

Those slomo shots of the Hammerheads gave me chills.

[@teedub1990]

The cave dive was enthralling and a little bit scary. Thrilling!

[@Knelson123]

Wow that's some high quality footage.

[@JCrook1028]

6:30 is a new BG image for my collection!

[@NateWheeler1]

Amazing production, guys. Really glad your camera escaped the leak undamaged!

[@jennimcallister4297]

Holy moly, you guys are making amazing, jaw dropping videos!! We've loved them all and are rewatching them, from the footage to the story telling to the editing.... AMAZING!

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thanks so much Jenni, glad you are enjoying them :)

[@sailingmymirage5549]

This was an awesome video! Loved it! Unbelievable shots! 👍🌞

[@Khatsalano]

Thank you for making fantastic content. You two are doing what Nat Geo and many others could not. Making pretty content in remote places is doable, but you make us feel like we are right there with the talented story-telling, creative shots, and on-point editing. Keep doing it!

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thank you!

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Brady, I was thinking the same thing as you said on camera. What would it be like to get lost inside the cave and not know the way out? 😨It's funny that you give measurements in feet and Blu gives them in meters. I prefer feet. 🤭As I've said before, the Galapagos are my dream. Thank you so very, very much for taking me along. It has not disappointed. 🤟

[@dojage]

Say FEET for the US and Meters for the rest of the world please.

[@extremelydave]

@@dojage Nah, just give us meters. We can get up to speed with the rest of the world I think.

[@JustinmaguireIII]

That might cave dive was the most amazing experience I’ve ever had… love that Brady was like “f*!k you for that being you first time diving!” #truth ❤️🙏🏼

[@sylvestersmith7651]

Glad your cameras survived for the most part, the videos you produce with them are magical ✨️

[@DobDog151]

So great. Thx again for sharing.

[@extremelydave]

The shot looking out of the cave with the divers silhouetted in the deep blue water, wow, that was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I am glad you captured perfectly. You gotta love those moments. I'm a bit surprised that Brady's camera wasn't water sealed as expensive as I can imagine it is.... even my Olympus EM1ii is....but it is what it is, eh? Another fine video. Blue, your camera skills are so awesome. Was that base boat from the same person who helped you get the sailboat?

[@CruisersAcademy]

Yes what a moment looking out that cave! Yes Justin was on this trip who sold us Lintika :)

[@Inki288]

Thank you so much for sharing guys. Another epic video. That shot in the cave entrance @17:04 awesome. We all love you B&B...Best wishes from Perth WA.

[@kevinsterner9490]

I almost passed this up because I didn’t recognize Blue with her hair in Mickey Mouse buns. At least that’s what I call it. Keep the great content coming

[@CruisersAcademy]

Haha is the hairdo to call in the hammerheads!

[@jb9090]

Beautifully made video… make more please 👍🏻 so soothing and enriching

[@maureendodd3402]

Wow! Incredible beautiful amazing!!! As always thank you for sharing xoxo

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thanks Maureen :)

[@ronelroux9782]

Loved this episode. It would be so nice to see you guys buddy boating with Delos

[@bfheng]

Stunning underwater video footage! What a great way to explore the islands.

[@yakncast7530]

Brady speculating getting lost in the cave flashed me back to when Brian got disoriented on that ship dive over in Indonesia or Philippines? Somewhere around there.

[@tlr724]

very cool guys... long time fan since ya'll met on Delos!

[@olemanjim1415]

I've been watching you two since before the circumnavigation and I know I can always count on your killer shots, excellent narrating and spot on music scores. Man you nailed em all in this one. I love your opening sequence, that had to take a ton of editing time and effort but man you knocked it out of the park! Keep up the good work guys! Be well!!

[@JCrook1028]

Before the circumnavigation? They haven't done a circumnavigation.

[@olemanjim1415]

@@JCrook1028 I was referring to the circumnavigation of the Atlantic Ocean that Brady and Blue completed on Delos a few years back.😎

[@danlee3757]

Hello Brady, super video, any plans to do another sailing adventure or spending some time on Delos? The world is waiting

[@CruisersAcademy]

Ohhhh yeeeaaaaaaaas

[@bobsails9750]

Thanks

[@jerrychandler657]

Your content is so good! Thanks for the upload.

[@corkyboat]

My first wife and I traveled to the East shore of Lake Superior and there was a similar land bridge that we visited. I can't remember the name but it might have been called Castle Rock. I took photos of it, and as a gift before my proposal to her I carved the scene into a five piece sculpture of a flax seed about 6 inches in diameter. It had five leaves that pivoted open to reveal a carving of the scene. The land bridge collapsed some years later, interestingly around the time of our divorce. She sent the sculpture back to me, and I asked her to please take it back and give it to our children. She remarried and moved on, but I believe it is still on her dresser. If anyone remembers the name of this structure I would love to be reminded of it. Brady, Brian, Blue, & Karin, thank you so much for years of brilliant videos. At 74 yo I appreciate seeing sights I could never travel to, especially on a sailing vessel.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Whoa! That sounds like an incredible piece of art!

[@kat6091]

Another really great episode, definitely worth waiting for!

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thanks Kat :)

[@buddeek8044]

One word and a number. Awesome ×2

[@jorgegorina8358]

Omg guys! what an amazing video. Thank you for taking us on the journey. The modern Jaques Cousteau‘s of the modern era! ❤️🙌🏼.

[@fk8marko774]

Getting that old Delols vibe, nice work you guys

[@MargaritaVioleta]

What a beautiful and magestic view! Thanks for sharing it with us 💙🦈

[@joecat101]

So good to see you guy's. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@crfjohn79]

Great video guys love watching your adventures and the editing and filming is top notch 👌awesome job

[@jamieheath2684]

Just continuing to crush it, Blue and Brady. I mean wow, the hammerhead footage was just ridiculous. Keep it up! Proud to support.

[@sergealary9756]

Anticipation for this episode was killing me! Can't believe I only saw this today when it dropped over a month ago. Is KZbin burying/shadow banning your channel!?! (I'm subscribed and all...). Amazing work throughout. And you really put things into perspective about how much it costs for you to capture it all, with the equipment and risks involved. Many thanks.

[@CruisersAcademy]

Amazing.

[@cathywood2946]

Thank you Brady and Blu for such a Beautiful video ❤ you guy's are amazing 🦈

[@dirkharvey]

Great work team, this was my favorite one yet! I've never seen hammer heads like that before, that was out of this world. I also loved seeing those chef's happiness. Cheers

[@adayinthelife5496]

Beautiful photography. Seems like you are pushing your limits.

[@timlamberton5411]

[@DuckshotProductions]

Absolutely stunning! Well worth the wait, although I would like to see the next episode sooner. PSA Crank up the KZbin quality to see this masterpiece in all its glory.

[@garyfroeschner2523]

great stuff

[@jenrodgers]

Amazing work you guys! 👍🏻 loved this!

[@oddjobkia]

just finished watching ( for the umpteenth time) your dive on bird island where Blue gets sucked into a cave.. glad to see this one was little more chill...

[@CruisersAcademy]

Took me awhile to trust caves again after that one! ~Blue

[@bobbie7355]

Just watching Back 2 Basics and wondering what y'all were doing. I'll be back after I watch the episode. Hugs from Texas sweeties 😎

[@timhyatt9185]

your cinematography skills are top notch, rivalling some of the best video documentaries out there!!!

[@CruisersAcademy]

Thanks Tim!

Wonderful as always, thank you for sharing the episode, been missing you guys. Such beautiful videography and photography! 💕🐟🦈🐠

[@georgekerr8804]

Incredible, videos Jacques. The most beautiful are the Rays.

[@sandyc6569]

So Beautiful and so informative!! Take care and be safe!! 👍💞💝💞👍

[@Thereminator101]

When exploring complex caves, cave divers use a 'reel' and unwind cord to trace their route back.

[@matt_kildea]

I reckon it's time you guys get back on Delos, we miss the green man and the blue girl 😂😂

[@maureenb7399]

Great underwater footage guys! You literally are going places. ♥️✌️

[@gregsage1605]

Well done!

[@Blodkarsk]

Amazing what a episode :D Good to see your camera survived. Wanted to join you guys on this trip, but a long way to travel and a pandemic stopped it with the tought.. Was in the Maldives on a diving trip some years ago, it was epic , Galapagos seems to be even better! Cant wait to see the next episode!

[@anjawhitfield2844]

So good to see you guy's again! Beautiful video, if not told I would not have noticed the gear struggle!

[@Alex000113]

The liveaboard experience seems the best way to get a lot of dives. This seems a challenging site (cold, current), caves at night a bit edgy. Some nice once in a lifetime shots though. I wonder if theres' speciation of sea life similar to the islands ? Does lugging around a bunch of technology slow you down (seals, batteries, weight) or necessary to get good quality material ? Nice to see you exploring, thx for sharing !

[@CruisersAcademy]

Definitely a good way to get lots of dives in a short amount of time, we did 4 most days! And yes lugging and charging gear does slow you down but overall it adds a really fun element to film… pushes us to do things we may otherwise skip! And helps us remember all we’d otherwise forget :)

[@upstairsdave]

That cave stuff looks dangerous af.

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

Nice to see an upload guys been awhile What the hell are the gonna call Darwin's arch now! thats got to be on a bucket list you didnt have

[@willsoles]

Beautiful😀

[@garudastan]

Great show. With respect pls consider wearing a shirt. Thank you

[@timhyatt9185]

have you given any further thought to the idea of a putting together a "service crew"? A modest sized ship full of volunteer craftsmen and such, who go to various locations to help with disaster recovery efforts??

[@CruisersAcademy]

We hope to do some version of this in the future. May not be able to get a boat big enough to sail them all around but def interested in doing some community service projects and inviting folks to travel in to volunteer :)

[@AbNomal621]

It doesn’t surprise me at all that you would have a vacuum AND water. I don’t know about camera housings, but physics would suggest pumping more air (or better yet a dry gas) in would be better at reducing and detecting problems.

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

Is that diego from the bubbles crew…i used to read their blogs back in the day…still one of the best reads ever…

[@CruisersAcademy]

It is!!! Good catch :)

[@ironhorse3497]

Where's y'all's Outtakes ???? Those are the best part, watchin you guys screw up and then laugh at yourselves !!!!! ;)
