Florida native here. We are blessed to have some of the most beautiful beaches anywhere! Glad you enjoyed them!

[@lutherlewis9681]

I'm a full-time dive instructor and RV life. FL beaches is by far the best walk-in dive places. I'd love to dive with y'all. I'm down anytime/anywhere Hanks.

[@arednecksgarage]

Maybe a silly question but since I've never met a diver in person and since your instructor I figured you'd be the perfect person to ask adding that with the information I just found out the video so I have always wanted to dive but I can't swim because for some reason I cannot tread water it's like I got rocks in my gut I can paddle enough to keep myself afloat just to sustain my death a little longer but finding out that the vests hold air to keep you buoyant was great information and that gives me hope that I will be able to die one day so I guess saying all that my question is do people that can't swim dive I'm going to guess yes because of the stuff I just found out but I didn't know that before this video so I never even thought to look into it

[@jordancook1668]

With PADI and I’m sure the others as well (NAUI, etc) you must complete a swim test which includes treading water for ten minutes and swimming 200 meters I believe it was. Everybody can tread water, you just haven’t been taught how. Keep more air in your lungs and lay back more for starters. I’m PADI advanced and truthfully have always been less than comfortable in the water. I put my mind to it and sailed through the process because it was important to me, but you may need to work on your swimming prior to your classes. It doesn’t have to be pretty, just spend time in a pool and get to where you can improve your comfort level.

[@lutherlewis9681]

@@arednecksgarage Jordan is correct. All the certifications require some form of swim test and treading water test. But there are programs that help disabled and non-swimmers to dive with a couple skilled dive masters and therapist. You can also find a lot of local dive shops that specialize in non-swimmers. I've helped a lot of non-swimmers get certified or go on a special dive.

[@arednecksgarage]

@@lutherlewis9681 thank you that helps yeah I was never really taught how to swim when I was a kid and it's never been a priority maybe one day I'll get the opportunity to be taught how to and that would bring much more joy In to my Life

[@lutherlewis9681]

@@arednecksgarage Absolutely . Walk in to a local dive shop and ask to speak with them. Every shop I've ever been in you'll find the most helpful and fun folks you'll ever meet. Good luck, save me and tell me where you're from. If I'm ever in your area, I'll take you out.

I just started watching u guys 2 days ago, and I'm ADDICTED!! I LITERALLY stayed up till 4a.m. the last 2 nights! I'm a retired night nurse, can relate to u both so much!! U 2 r breath of fresh air and we just started RV'ing and we have a LOT OF HORRIFIC and SCARY stories, and we enjoy your light hearted videos that help take the load off our shoulders. Thank you!!! Btw, my husband is retired Army and we retired out here in Morgan Utah! We both lived most of our lives all over the south. Our extended family are in MO. I HOPE TO ONE DAY MEET I BOTH!

[@HappilyEverHanks]

Thanks so much 🤗

[@puppethound]

Born and raised on the Emerald Coast, Gulf coast beaches are some of the best in the world. I have been lucky and fortunate to be stationed and traveled to some exotic places and nothing beats these beaches.

[@Ybshy]

Yes, I’m glad I was able to experience Florida waters, I say the only thing that beats Floridas waters is the beaches on the South Pacific islands, but pretty close though

[@njb1814]

I love Grayton State Park! I think the gulf coast of Florida are some of the most beautiful beaches! We love it there! Glad you guys were able to dive! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Wow, just Wow! How beautiful!!! So cool about the poles, too. I love learning things like that and that smart people figure out things like that.

[@johnlunde0]

I really enjoyed this week’s vid. I learned I could do something without doing the real thing (scuba diving - medical issues.) Thank you for bringing us along and and I enjoy watching you two!!! 🤿

[@Biker758210]

Florida is Beautiful But now that I have seen the views under water and heard the GREAT commentary from Renee under water. So Great and Beautiful. I am not a good swimmer, and I don't do any diving, I still enjoy watching others enjoying themselves. Now go get you a beach wagon to haul your gear to the beach. Multifunctional trailer 4 wheel wagon beach balloon wheel outdoor used. # THANKSHANKS take care and safe travels.

[@carolbrockmeier3679]

Thanks Hanks! I would never do this so I appreciate you sharing.

[@stanandstansfriend6019]

I've only done snorkeling, you guys make me want to go diving now. Maybe I'll talk to the wife and we'll give it a shot next summer be safe out there. Sending love from SoCal. ❤

I’m so glad you got to enjoy a Grayton Beach State Park! It’s our favorite. Y’all are the cutest XOXO

[@chuckmartin9241]

Thanks for letting over 10,000 people see this!! 😂 This is the area we are from and it's beautiful!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@rvick2010]

You guys are AMAZING!! I love the comedy and the seriousness in every video! We are going this Saturday to pick up our first camper. Nothing as nice as yours but at least we will be able to get out there and have fun!

[@HappilyEverHanks]

Congrats on the new rig!

[@rvick2010]

@@HappilyEverHanks My son and I got back home yesterday and the rest of the family wanted to sleep in the camper. We love it even though it's tiny it's our first ever camper and it's nice and functional

Awesome video!! I would have never made it in that heat and humidity!! Kathi

[@esthermcgough3995]

I loved scuba diving in the PI, Japan, and Hawaii when I was in the military stationed in the PI.

[@lynnfiegl4953]

Wow that was awesome!! I have never been diving before! #ThanksHanks for taking us along to see the beautiful sites! ❤️❤️

[@WilsonFlyer]

Wow! Loved this one guys! Thank you for sharing. GREAT work!

[@timlord4172]

Glad to see you two getting in some fun time! Sitting in front of a computer screen for long periods of time is not something you look forward to do! Making time for yourselves is paramount to keeping your relationship alive and growing. RV life is “nomadic” at times which can cause stress in a relationship. Good to see some of the things you love doing, and if diving is what your into then make more time for exploring under water! It definitely makes a difference in your personal well-being! For those land people your excursions allow us to view something that we would not ordinarily do, and get a chance to see through your videos what underwater life is all about! Thanks for sharing and do more vlogs on your excursions!

[@kae0619]

Love your videos!!! Informative and entertaining. What a beautiful location!!! Thanks Hanks for keeping us smiling!!!

[@philipdiehl9849]

I haven't been diving for over 45 years. I'm to old to start again. Thanks for sharing your dive with us. Grandpa Jack

[@charliebullio463]

What's up Hank's. Great to see you today 😀

[@margaretsmithallen8216]

Loved this! We are advanced divers as well as RVers, but have never combined the two. I am also a nurse and just love the quiet under water…usually chaos free! Thanks.

[@dianasellars6114]

Great dive , enjoyed tagging along. We haven't been in a few years and miss it

[@alnolan8574]

Wow, What an adventure !

[@trentjenkins6455]

RN and Medic here, thought it was you, we were there on the other side of the circle from y'all (Class A Newmar with older Jeep) Kept trying to catch you outside to say hello-didn't want to disturb y'all. We snorkeled the reef and got a video of a shark. Keep up the entertaining videos. Safe Travels!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

The only place I have dived in FL is at one of the keys. Lots of fish and jellyfish. Did not like being around the jellyfish. Great video. Thanks

[@LyfeUntethered]

Your content keeps getting better and better. I want to adopt you both. ☺️ You make me smile and your editing is 🔥!

[@tchrof6th]

It looks so pretty there! That white sand! 🥰 that clear water 💦 so blue! Juju says hi!

[@roberttaylor714]

Thanks Hanks! Next time you come to FL, make your way to Palm Beach and dive Phil Foster Park at Blue Heron Bridge. Some of the most diverse marine life you will see from a shore dive!

[@johnnylightning1491]

One these days I'm going to have to learn how to scuba dive. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@powerhoursongs3690]

You guys are awesome! Such a fun couple!

[@DONKEYdaDON]

I found your channel not too long ago and y'alls fun and calm collected sometimes chaotic approach to life made me a fan, since I'm one of those "live vicariously through you" viewers, I've also enjoyed the rv'ing tips, but now finding out you guys also SCUBA! Ultimate fan!!

[@lilyavery8230]

If we already didn't know you were in Florida, you'd swear those were snow peaked mountains versus Sandhills ... that and the bathing suit gave it away too... I literally got lost at sea watching this, yet again, educational with a whimsy of humor. Thanks Hanks!

[@fauxmixedhair]

Florida Panhandle Beaches are the best! Miami is great for night life, BUT if you're talking sugar white sand, the panhandle is where it's at! My old stomping ground! Love that area!

[@jeremyharbin22]

That voice-over while yall was diving was National Geographic material! 🤘😁🤘😁 Great video, looks fun!

[@andrewfidel2220]

I'm going to be at Henderson Beach just up the road for almost 2 weeks over Xmas, love that stretch of the panhandle with all the great state parks.

[@larrymiller8210]

I was a scuba diver years ago. Most my diving was in LA Jolla, and Point Loma all in san diego. You made me miss it. We didn't have that clear water but the exhale bubbles reminded me of it. Thanks!

[@tomallen9179]

Yet another fun episode 😀

[@MrJCJR55]

Lining up the poles is basic scuba navigation. You do the same with landmarks and buildings. If you are out swimming and find something in the water you look to shore and find two sets of buildings (permanent structures) that line up, the farther the two sets are apart the more accurate you are able to find your location.

[@coldfire2812]

Another great video guys! Cool to see a video from where I was born, raised and still live! Would love to have met yall! When you mentioned about the sand squeaking, 25-35 years ago when I was a kid, it would squeak much louder; still does but the sand used to be so clean. The quartz sand on our beeches actually comes from the Appalachian Mountains. Enjoy your time down here!!

[@deborahjansson]

Super cool video! Looks like fun!!

[@gmurz01]

You both are a breath of fresh air…love the light hearted banter between the two of you. Hoping to make it out on the road very soon….I’ve subscribed and will continue to follow you !

[@brianbelliveau5551]

I know what you mean we live in Miami Florida and it’s 🥵 you guys are funny 😄 looks like a good time

[@owenarkison3558]

To extend your dive and make it easier to swim back in. Stay underwater and wait to surface until your in waist deep water. Then take your fins off and walk in. We hope to get down to the keys to do some diving next year. We’ve been diving down on Bonaire for the last 17 years so we have not done any diving elsewhere But we did get a trip to the Maldives in 2018 which was great. Highly recommend going there. Safe travels and diving

[@terririggle6106]

Beautiful footage underwater of the reef, dudes!! Refresh my memory, why did you go to Florida in the summer??😜

[@loriw2661]

Right?! I’ve lived here in Florida for 61 years. If I didn’t live here, summer would be the last time of year I’d come. Lol

so cool! Love the scenery underwater but am super uncomfortable breathing even with a snorkel so I usually just wear a mask and flippers and stay close to the surface. We took a ride in a submarine in Cozumel Mexico years ago that was pretty cool and went down about 100 feet to the floor before cruising around. Another great video guys

[@nina_g6857]

If we ever end up in the same campground near some water, you will have to go dive with my husband, he is @Exploring with Nug, a diver that finds people missing in cars in the water. He can teach you how to dive rivers (if you haven’t done that before.) Hope we run into you at the Apple Festival in October.
