You are one lucky girl Nicole! I do believe you make Mother Earth smile. Best of all you share your journeys so that others, like myself, can live vicariously through yours,and Blair's, eyes! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Another great video and so nice to see you showing off all the amazing things to see and do around Cape Town 👍👍

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Joe :)

[@hendribeukes]

WOW! So HAPPY when I saw the notification to this new video of you. You made my day!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Yay :) There will be another next week too!

[@cctodd23]

Stunning! So peaceful to watch!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you :)

[@jessicalewis714]

Those kelp forests are amazing. Such a different kind of snorkelling to where I'm from.

[@NicoleEddy1]

They are so beautiful - I think it’s time for another snorkel sometime soon when the weather clears!

[@BDCF100]

At 11:16 that appears to have been a Girdled Triton (Charonia Cingulata, Lamarck, 1822). An uncommen species to see. Very nice.

[@maryross4488]

Oh I miss muizenburg beach and surfer's corner. My sister lives in seaforth just away from simonstown. The views of the underworld you took are awsome. ...Can't wait to see the bush tour in kzn. Take care both of you xxx

[@NicoleEddy1]

It is a little gem - I always forget how beautiful that part of Cape Town is :)

[@djtrishm]

I Love Underwater videos. They are so relaxing and The beauty of the ocean is wonderful

[@NicoleEddy1]

It is so calming, even when I edit underwater footage :) Thanks for watching!

[@SarahandMarek]

Your snorkeling scenes made us miss the sea SO much! 🌊

[@MoraviaCSDRunning]

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! We can't wait to return to Cape Town.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks so much John & hopefully it won't be too long until you can return.

[@SarahandMarek]

Hope you guys are safe and well with the crazy fires in Cape Town right now 🙏🏼❤️

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you, thankfully all of the fires have been put out & no-one has been too badly hurt (from what I know). Unfortunately a lot of structural & environmental damage has been done, but let's hope that they can find whoever is responsible, as it is believed to be arson.

[@dannydanny9875]

From Land, to Sea... Adventure is there with Nicole & Blair! :-D

[@NicoleEddy1]

Absolutely :)

[@Stu28732]

Just amazing vlog...💕 looking forward to the bush trip. Take care be safe x

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Stuart :) It was a great trip indeed - now to get a start on the editing!

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

Your version of My Octopus Teacher, great vlog., great cinematography. 👏👍🏻

[@NicoleEddy1]

Hahaha, something like that. My Octopus Teacher was actually filmed in the same area (roughly anyway), very cool :)

[@MikeLangfordGoogle]

Wonderful as always Nicole, always wait for your vlogs - ex-Capetonian living in Cusco, Peru here. Nice to see people are out & about there, still locked down here.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Mike! Yeah, we're very fortunate that lockdown is at level 1 in SA, however I don't think that our economy can sustain another hard lockdown, so fingers crossed that we will continue to be allowed to explore the outdoors! Hopefully your restrictions will ease up in the near future & hope that you're keeping safe over there :)

[@djtrishm]

Hi Nicole thank you for another video! I love them! Thumbs up! Trish

[@NicoleEddy1]

Yay! Thank you!

[@FunnyBoxification]

Amazing vlog as always!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thank you so much :)

[@petermills9851]

Snorkelling without a snorkel., I did a lot of that around False Bay, but always with a speargun.

[@NicoleEddy1]

My snorkel has a crack in it so I need to replace it...but more often than not, I find it gets in my way 😂 'Unsnorkelled Snorkelling'.

[@missmash6493]

The sunset was beautiful

[@familyontherun]

We’ve been to Cape in January and wow, that water is freezing cold!:) Good for you trying because it’s beautiful under there. Reminds us My Octopus Teacher that we watched from there, it was great to be so close to the actual location.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Haha, it is freezing cold, but the False Bay side is a lot warmer than the Atlantic Coastline. Hopefully next time you'll brave a snorkel...just don't forget the wetsuit!

[@SarahandMarek]

Can totally relate to the cycling past the camera and then coming back for the camera 🤣

[@SvenVee]

Gosh I would love myself some freediving adventures right now! Great vlog Nicole! :)

[@SvenVee]

That underwater footage was dope btw!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks Sven :) I know, I think that I need to level up soon & get onto doing my SCUBA license - opens up a lot of fun adventures too.

[@SvenVee]

@@NicoleEddy1 that would be awesome. I actually got my open water divers license in Egypt with my brother as an instructor. I can definitely recommend scuba diving! It's super cool. Very different from freediving but in a good way. What I love most about it is the actual time you get underwater to look at the amazing wildlife :). It's beautiful and also great for underwater photography. Makes it so much easier to get cool shots because you just have more time :)

[@SvenVee]

@@NicoleEddy1 also if you need any tips, feel free to let me know. My brother actually finished all of his divers licences in South Africa (Sodwana Bay, Coral Divers, used to live there for 9 months). He can definitely give you some great tips since he knows his way around the South African Scuba Diving world :)

[@charliesadv8493]

I'm surprised I didn't see myself on your video. I was riding Marine Drive as well the same time on easter weekend :-)

[@NicoleEddy1]

Oh no ways, I chopped a fair bit of the time-lapse out, so it might have been on another section :)

[@charliesadv8493]

😁

[@thepatriotsrage661]

Prime GW territory that. Be VERY careful, they are apex ambush predators and False Bay is well known for very big GW's. Stay safe in the water. Best to you both.

[@NicoleEddy1]

False Bay is certainly one of the more 'sharkier areas' in the Western Cape however we are less likely to come across Great Whites in the kelp beds and rather more likely to come across cow sharks who prefer these forested areas, although I'd prefer not to come across any to be frank. Thanks for your message & take care :)

[@jtisaks8569]

Thank you so much for showing the name of the place lol - would you please recommend snorkelling gear!! Love the video

[@mrdbing73]

Stunning amazing your video was like watching a beautiful magic world thank you it made me feel like i was flying and just there WOW darren from Northampton England

Awesome :) Welcome to my channel!

I cheered when you got a little bit air on one of jumps 🤣

the go-pro footage when the music cut out. 😂👌🏾

[@RebekkahTheBand]

you got like 3 ft of air that time!! 😂

[@NicoleEddy1]

@@RebekkahTheBand ....that's what I said to Blair and he didn't believe me!!! And then I saw the GoPro footage and understood why...

[@BDCF100]

Having spent a good portion of my life diving and snorkling in all manner of waters i must ask''''Where is your snorkle?". It makes it so much easier,. Your title said "snorkelling with friends".

[@NicoleEddy1]

My snorkel unfortunately has a crack in it & I just haven't got around to replacing it yet...and now I've got used to not having a snorkel. As there's no term for snorkelling without a snorkel...'snorkelling with friends' will have to do :)

[@BDCF100]

@@NicoleEddy1 Make's sense. Duct tape?

[@ElenavDoorn]

If there's ocean involved I'm tapping that like button. Haven't even watched the video yet.

[@NicoleEddy1]

Yay :) Thanks Elena!

[@ElenavDoorn]

Okay, yeah loved it! Well done and thanks for the entertainment, Nicole!

[@robinmackridge7381]

Can someone please tell me what beach this off or a name for it ?

[@ChristopherFarro]

Great underwater footage! I just watched "My Octopus Teacher" last night with Erin and this ecosystem looks so similar to what you were diving! If you haven't seen the movie, you SHOULD! Nice work, Nicole!!

[@NicoleEddy1]

Chris, what a treat :) Thank you, what an epic documentary that was. My Octopus Teacher was filmed in the same area in False Bay in Cape Town so that's why it almost looks identical in the kelp forests. Now I just need to get my SCUBA license to explore some more spots... Please send Erin all of my love as well & hope that you guys are doing well :) x

[@petrueygelaar]

What is in the green bottle that you used on your mask?

[@NicoleEddy1]

It was a dishwashing liquid - it helps my mask to not fog up...for a while anyway.

[@dyamoy]

@@NicoleEddy1 toothpaste works too!

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

Hope is your travel tour business doing, are you rebounding after the various lockdowns?

[@NicoleEddy1]

Thanks for asking :) Many lodges, activities & other accommodation within SA are now catering solely for SA residents with massively reduced rates to encourage domestic travel, so we are mainly conducting internal tourism as opposed to international...but our tourism sector is slowly rebounding as a whole and we are seeing a slight interest from foreign markets again. Very interesting times indeed and so testing for many of these safari lodges who support a large staff complement as well as fund conservation efforts, but it's great to see people returning :)

[@bklondon75deliciousnesswit64]

@@NicoleEddy1 I’m glad to hear that things are trending up and that your business is still around. Fingers crossed it continues to do so and quite quickly!🤞🏼👍🏻

Hahaha...I liked this one. You can stay.

[@dyamoy]

@@NicoleEddy1 haha! Thanks for the reassurance. Promise to get better in these in the next videos :/

[@chocktalk]

arent you guys afraid of great whites

[@NicoleEddy1]

Not really in the kelp beds, you’d come across more of the seven Gill sharks, and smaller pajama sharks. But it is always in the back of my mind despite how irrational the fear is!
