I've never seen this many sharks!! Sailing Vessel Delos Ep. 135

Scuba diving with an incredible amount of sharks at the remote atoll of Bassas Da India! On our 1,400 mile sail from Madagascar to South Africa we decide to make a little pit stop at one of the most epic diving places on the planet! We sail Delos back and forth while diving all day long from Maggie and discover and incredible underwater world with one of the healthiest shark populations we have ever seen!

That's why this is the best Sailling Channel

[@dadsvespa]

I am amazed at your video's. They are so interesting, the people are interesting, the boat is interesting, the food is interesting, all of your guests are interesting, fixing stuff is interesting, but I really love the way, with todays technology, how you take us along, to fantastic destinations, we see people of the world, the boat, you showering, Germans diving, walking on the beaches, sleeping, reading...even when you're seasick .I'm laying here in bed, in Mass...at 9:59pm with my laptop, watching you guys on the other side of the Earth !..living life !... Amazing. I'm happy for you all...and the German brothers are great too. Nice guys . Take care all ! Matt.

[@grimreaper3526]

I speak for ALL who read this message: DELOS YOU ROCK! Friday mornings are the best because of DELOS

[@bokendrick6553]

To Mike Crittenden, it's the intellect of Brian, the craziness of Brady and the soft beauty of Karin that make Delos... Delos.

[@grimreaper3526]

...don't forget the smooth sail of DELOS which makes it all come together!

[@StewartGartland]

well said!

[@dadsvespa]

Interesting, I have a 10th great grandfather, with the name "Crittenden", who was a Captain of a ship around 1680 or 1710? in Connecticut for the English Navy. I believe, his son also was in the English Navy. I have to get more info from Ancestry ! Matt.

[@ralphraffles1394]

Massachusetts Matt Crittenden is a classy old British name.

[@mattf49006]

and they pick the best soundtrack of any sailing vlog

[@bradfordpalmer2298]

Hours and hours if sailing for an epic dive. And folks give me grief over a few hour flight to Cozumel or Bonaire. Great video! Thanks.

[@echo881]

So nice to see places that are totally off the grid and to see a real living reef,hard to come by these days. Thank you for taking us along to a place that most of us can only dream about!!!

[@doppler3237]

and this is why I have watched them all these years, no other sailing channel comes close to showing the essence and the freedom of world wide cruising.

[@jaystreeter]

Saved e up three vids so I could sit down and enjoy a good hour of Delos this morning, which just happens to be my 40th Birthday. For some reason I woke up at 530am, maybe to get the most hours possible out of this day. Thank you for all the great vids you produce. Think I'll wear my Delos shirt today in honour.

[@zerofox7347]

I'm literally addicted to sv delos now and checking every hour on friday mornings to see the new vid haha!

[@mikecrittenden464]

Zero Fox me to so addicted I absolutely love Delos they're the best by far

[@TheJttv]

Zero Fox they have been publishing around 3 am est on Friday...

[@OkieNomads]

[@zerofox7347]

Jttv+ oh right cheers for the info

[@floriangenz849]

same here lol-since way back when^^ ...used to be a seaman, but never had the time to properly explore all those countries I went to. Watching Delos is great-makes me feel like I'm on holiday when I watch their episodes after work now ^^

[@scuba_chic]

There is something therapeutic about listening to Brian’s voice. Especially when he gives his night watch updates.

[@datsuimiichi7086]

SV DELOS is the epitome of pure RAW adventure!!!! And you're all contageous!!! Whew!!!!

[@wesleyddavies]

Like so many, I do watch on my TV, which probably limits engagement through likes and comments, but a fan effort encouraged may help out! Thank you Delos!

[@naidushachi]

I love you guys' underwater film work- so crisp and clean. It's a world humans hardly ever get to see and I love how much you guys love and understand that and are willing to share with us. I really appreciate it, it makes me heart feel so full seeing beautiful creatures you don't see everyday.

[@SV-DEDICATED]

You're setting the standard for others to follow.

[@grimreaper3526]

THEY HAVE SET THE STANDARD ALREADY...

[@John-hw3ds]

Distant shores probably set the standard in KZbin vlogs, but Delos changed the game years ago :-)

[@goboats]

[@jyotinder100]

[@artistaloca4]

[@edrosenberger6947]

I just finished watching this interesting and worth the time video: "Patrons Q&A- Sailing Vessel Delos". Brian and Karin did a wonderful job of answering questions for almost two hours. These two neat people also made this time enjoyable because they treated each other with respect by not interrupting one another. I have watched several couples talk about sailing where some of them interrupted each other repeatedly.....and it was not an enjoyable or constructive time. So thank you Brian and Karin!!

[@dougsberna4579]

I think the rolling chart swipe transition at 12:50 needs to be recognized. It's fun to see all the different editing styles over the years. Also, sweet dive and drone footage!

[@gravediggermaxvabeachva]

the drone did a great job of showing us delos in rollers.......lots of sharks.......sushi......a great week from delos - one of the tops - hold on with finally some breeze.....see ya soon

[@8028rsj]

Amazing ! for some reason I'm captivated with your underwater footage, more than even those cable documentary channels. So real !

[@trumpanzee8831]

Well, it is going to be 107 here today again. Thanks for the brief vacation. You guys have turned me on to some good music too. Now, back into the crucible.

[@aquasurfer9]

Awesome videos of the Atoll. Dive videos were superb. The random German guys did great. Thanks for the adventure you take me on each video. The dive scenes are so well done. Discovery and others that do so much setup don't capture what you do.

[@bokendrick6553]

Is there such a thing as Delos addiction? This guy in Alabama has gotten hooked! I've added meeting the Delos family to my Bucket List... someway, somehow.

[@mikecrittenden464]

bo kendrick absolutely agree with that Im not generally a fan boy but these guys are so awesome I would love to meet and hang out with them it is a good bucket list item.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Into the mystic; epic dive! Hats off to Ulicious and Jenstein for having the balls to dive in the shark infested waters. Oh wait...we know you have the balls, we saw them in a blurred kind of way. The world and all its BS fades away with Delos. I didn't know a place like this existed. I know you get sick of hearing how much I love Delos. It's a sickness I waller in with great pleasure.

[@gonewiththewynns]

One day I want to dive like Delos! Awesome footage guys, you give us something to shoot for with our underwater adventures. We're just in the infancy of diving from our vessel and we appreciate every little detail you guys show from the dinghy pick up to the sailboat drifting, you guys rock. thanks for taking the time to capture and share. Much love, Jason and Nikki (and the cats too)

[@svdelos]

Hey guys! Aw man it's so nice to hear from you! We were watching you in Cape Town! Thank you so much for your love and support. This is a wonderful life we live and the world is an incredible place. Thank you for sharing this beautiful ocean with us. We're all family here! Sending you guys (and the cats) all of our love!! x

[@gonewiththewynns]

Can't wait to meet you all out on the water one day. Till then we'll keep on watching whenever we get solid internet.

[@MrUltraworld]

@@svdelos How long does a tank last?

[@Mdmacg]

I started watching this over a year ago when they were passing through Papua New Guinea, a country my wife and I wanted to move to and I got addicted! I've since moved from the US to Australia and it's my Friday night date every week with my wife!! #svdelos #loveit

[@silverclaw4]

I love seeing a new vid pop up on my recommended vids, I have to pause whatever nonsense I'm watching and get my weekly dose of Delos.

[@jambamin1]

Never have I seen you guys so vibrant and in your element. What a magical place! Thank you for bringing me along for these journeys and giving me a glimpse to what is out there! You guys are awesome inspiring beings!

[@gsahookah599]

Easily one of my favorite SV Delos videos! I continue, after all these years following your channel, to be amazed at your hard work and efforts to bring us such amazing content. Kings to you my salty friends!

[@jettron1]

I don't know if you'll see this comment but I've been binge watching your videos for over a week now and I love watching your adventures!!! I do want to warn you that Grouper are very territorial and can, and probably are, more dangerous than sharks. I went on a behind the scenes tour of the Aquarium in Atlanta and they told me the divers are far more careful around the Goliath Groups than the sharks in the tank when they go in the tank. They said one time a black tip reef shark got to close to the Goliath's territory so the Grouper ate the shark in one bite.

[@svdelos]

Hey thanks for watching and also the comment :)

[@santiagodiego83]

Can't wait to watch the video about your journey across the Atlantic... Mabuhay #SVDELOS!!!

[@jasonb4520]

Those 4 sharks that stick around are mother nature's og's. It doesn't matter how old they are, its spirit level.

[@TeeFunkable]

My take on passages: I haven't done many, but I hate that they end. To me they are the absolutely best part and I'm always somewhat disappointed when it ends. Few days at one spot and I start to feel anxious, eager to get going again. I guess it's sort of a version of the hibernation you talk about. But I consider it as a disconnect from nonsense. Maybe I'm self conscious or something, but passages are really the only time in life when I feel like everything makes sense and that I'm somehow in tune with the universe. Not that I'm a wreck in my everyday life, but I certainly feel more comfortable inside my skin when moving through water.

[@TatonoMusic]

Thanks again for using my music Delos! Love the episode!

[@bevanpope7924]

Tatono Music, So cool to see you on here thanking Delos! Found you because of them... 👍

[@sumnerwaite6390]

Your music triggers my Delos fix

[@goodridevibes]

This may be one of my favorite episodes yet - so good guys!

[@lanestreet1431]

Delos crew are so blessed. It's not often you get to see the Midday Full Moon. ;)

[@jamesskyles896]

Awesome. It was so cool seeing Carmen, Greg and Chyanne, and especially Frida and Manskraft. Missed those guys.

[@robertorzech2466]

Water was invisible. Amazing. ! Very exciting, Wishing I was there ! Cheers Delos Captain and crew and guests !

[@carnaubawachs]

This is why i love fridays :)

[@davidc6510]

Wow that coral reef was super teaming with life and vibrant! Amazing. I see why you wanted to visit it again. The video was better the second time as well. Those grouper could have had Kazza for a snack they were so big :o !!!! Amazing footage - thanks once again for sharing! Fair winds.

[@MrDenis7p]

Just watched episode 1 again and it's wonderful to see how over 7 years of Sailing Experience has given y'all the Confident knowledge of the Sea and Winds. Amazing and Fun to watch. You are all so Relaxed compared to us City folks. Awesome Video! Thank you all.

[@SteveFiford]

Those aerial shots of the boat in those swells looked awesome and the diving serene. Beer or two on it's way

[@cracker10ification]

You are getting real slick videos with that drone. LOVE the shots of Delos cruising the big rolling waves.

[@GreatWhiteGT]

What an incredible location! Keep on living the dream, Delos!!! (I LOVE Fridays!!)

[@thePronto]

Sitting here at my desk, (supposed to be) coding, and I get transported to the other side of the world for an epic 30 minute adventure. Break over, back to the grind; but mentally refreshed. Thanks Crew!

[@timlamarre8680]

Ok--bes shots od Delos yet esp. just before Brady retrieves drone. Superb!

[@lanestreet1431]

Love the boat. Love the crew. Love the diving footage. Love the big, funny grouper lips. You guys are living the dream and thank you so, so, so, much for taking us along. Fair winds.

[@amyweatherford5876]

Two vids in a week? Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Amazing as always!!

[@arumrunner]

I think it was a really good decision to do another loop back into the Indian so you could do Madagascar again. As always, thanks for taking us along!

[@sremnant]

Who caught the "Thats what she said?" Even funnier, everyone just ignored Brady. haha

[@shellysizemore9398]

Being a Delos crew member is an opportunity of a lifetime! Terrific video as always.

[@adventureicecream]

The underwater photography keeps getting better with every episode. Love you guys. Will buy you another beer next week.

[@jmboyer69]

Great episode, Delos! There was a lot of man-made flotsam in that unspoiled reef, now just part of the ecosystem. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@LifewithKenandJane]

Thank you capt brian for letting me come on this incredible dive

Music to the ears! When I hear Ramukanji...it's time to pour a scotch on the rocks and sit back and enjoy......then to see the German guys learning from the masters...not just sailing....fishing, diving and making sushi! And Wiener schnitzel! Captain Brian, Karen and Brady....THANK YOU.

[@rongamache5377]

WOW. Now This is what sailings all about. Epic sail, epic dive. I'm sooo jealous. Awesome vid guys

Figure I would leave a second comment, since it was such a awesome vid. I kinda get why Delos crew likes being underwater... No politics , or religion down there 😉🙏🏻❤️ Gives ya a bit of a glimps of pureness..

[@joannebedford2695]

Love it! Living the life. Doing something different with your lives.

Omg @ all the life on that reef.. That was amazing.

[@menelek16bc]

I like these two German brothers, I think they are so cool

[@keeblerhunts]

Brian will never be able to undo what he saw at 11:13 LOL Delos is so far above any other sailing channel in terms of the cinematography and explanations of what things are. Plus they seem like genuinely good humans.

[@svdelos]

Wow thanks man, that means a lot!

[@keeblerhunts]

No problem! For everything you guys have seen and done, I found it amazing that Brian was so pumped after that dive with the sharks. Shows you guys truly do love what you're doing and enjoy it all. It's inspiring because if more of us would be that way, the world would be happier I do believe :)

[@muzakkauzaini9643]

I love the drone shot maybe with delos full sail on next time.. Very good week 2 vid from delos. Stay safe.

[@Biomirth]

The problem with full sail is that means it's windy and they're moving. I think their drone could do it but it would take some amazing piloting and a lucky landing to pull it off.

[@nubs187]

Thanks for sharing this dive experience with us. Spectacular!
