Detox goes beyond just what we consume physically, but also the people we surround with. Keep up the great work Justin!

[@CritterHunter]

Well said.

[@mikealsleben4671]

What a true statement.

[@lanec5672]

This!

[@jarlathquinn5722]

Very well done Justin. Keep up the great work, never mind the noise. Its beautiful what you have done and continue to do for the local community.

[@riderdiver1]

If you are a diver this place is a must visit.. so much to see

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

It’s incredible what you’ve built, a culmination of all that you have learned over the years. If I ever come to PH I will start to dive, inspired by you.

[@claribelpalomares260]

A totally different world out there underwater, your go-to place to get away from all the noise, by yourself surrounded with beautiful creation just like that whale shark, came out of the blue, just awesome. And what a community/family you have there supporting you, sharing your dream/passion. Congrats, Justin, you've done well! Wishing you more blessings this year. Well-deserved!

[@CritterHunter]

You're always a kind person

[@steveroar4806]

"Easter egg hunt on steroids"!!!! What an analogy bud! Super nice video Justin, not only are you making your dreams come true but countless others!

[@jbpost52]

Congrats on the continued success Justin. It doesn't seem that long ago when you and Finn were doing underwater filiming. Now Finn is part owner of a cruise ship and is building a nice home overlooking Dawin. From the pandemic and hurricane Ulanda and the weeks of helping the surrounding community get back on their feet. Time sure goes by quickly. I just turned 68 last week but dont feel it, I still have a twenties mentality. Best wishes for continued success. Any new updates on the dive boat?

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks bud. I appreciate it. We are on to building the outriggers now, but still need more wood. Then we will get going

[@steve-ml4du]

Good video Justin, it was great meeting everyone and learning how to dive at your shop a couple of weeks ago. I am looking forward to getting back out there for more diving.

[@richardhowe5583]

I am one of your first subscribers and I still watch the videos where you do the photography and show us the sea creatures and explain them to us.. I have those videos in one area of my library all connected and I watched them like a national geographic Jacques Cousteau program.. very relaxing and educational.. I am happy everything is going good and looking forward to some more of your underwater photography and narration..👍👍🏝️👙😁🍺🍻🤗😎

[@CritterHunter]

That's so cool to hear. Love it!

[@douglasljdunn]

Never too late to dive. Started at 63, still diving and living the dream at 72! Thanks for the update Justin.

[@78swats]

This may be a dumb question, but do I need to learn swimming before I can dive?

[@douglasljdunn]

@@78swats there is a 200 m swim and 10 min float test in the OWC

[@78swats]

@@douglasljdunn well, I don't know how to swim sir. And I am 60. Is there any hope for me?

[@douglasljdunn]

@@78swats if you have a reasonable level of fitness, go for it. Get some swimming lessons to build your confidence in the water. I know people who couldn't swim 5 years ago who are now dive instructors

[@troymoses8405]

Thanks for the update Justin. Looking forward to meeting up again later this year. Keep on, keeping on brother!!

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks man

[@turgutvelettin6727]

Justin you’re doing fantastic job buddy main thing is as long as you’re enjoying what you do rest is history Congratulations 👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙

[@albraun-sq6rg]

You have a very nice dive shop! Glad to see it's growing. We're too old but we'll send the grandkids over to dive with you :)

[@michaellee2652]

Great update and glad you all are doing well and people look genially happy!!

[@CritterHunter]

They are!

[@jmfarrell5]

Quality…. I see and hear about your quality service, training and experiences… well done 👏🏻👏🏻

[@CritterHunter]

Thank you very much!

[@olyman63]

Awesome show thank you for sharing it with us. Yeppers I say you are a busy man. I’m happy for you all and glad the Critter is doing amazing. Have a wonderful day.

[@marilynt9599]

Heading to Dauin at the end of March; sadly, my dive plans were already scheduled before I 'found' you, but I will stop in the shop for a selfie and a t-shirt. And YES...everyone should try diving. I had my first experience from the beach in El Nido 24 years ago and was HOOKED; still diving at age 60.

[@CritterHunter]

Sounds great!

[@thephilippinesunplugged]

Another great video, thanks for that. I might have to ferry on over and take a dive course or two in the next few weeks or maybe the next month depending on how busy you are.

[@CritterHunter]

Do it! Where you coming from?

[@thephilippinesunplugged]

@@CritterHunter From Siquijor where I live.

[@meowco69]

Love your channel. Stay strong.

[@CritterHunter]

Thank you, I will

[@ronaldtaylor4530]

any fifgts?

[@DHarri9977]

update on the boat?

[@CritterHunter]

Nothing to report. Waiting on wood shipment, then back to the build

[@rickylee6129]

Good Video Justin and Crew 😊. Keep the video's comin 😊. Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏

[@cyndig1670]

looks good

[@robertcamp6623]

That is a awesome truck

[@TomandAmyinthePI]

This could be a stupid question but Do You guys also rent out snorkeling equipment for snorkeling off shore or off a boat?

[@CritterHunter]

Kinda. We offer snorkeling during our apo day trips at least

[@surreycase]

Nice work 🎉

[@Deicidebellona]

Wow 😮 you have gone a long way since I met you guys last April . 👍🏻

[@kennethcollard3123]

I want to start learning diving

[@CritterHunter]

You can

[@letsif]

Bravo!

[@duanesyx8232]

Love watching all the videos. Hope to dive there one day. How is the boat build going?

[@CritterHunter]

Very soon!

[@mysticvirtue8886]

Hey Justin just a suggestion to do an upgrade to your t-shirts put a dive flag on one of your arm sleeves, about 2 by 3 or so

[@CritterHunter]

Maybe. Most people aren't divers though, they just want a dauin or Critter shirt. So why spend the money

[@mysticvirtue8886]

@@CritterHunter because the business is a dive shop and you want people to know that , the idea is to attract new divers for the shop right and it will tell them what critter hunter is otherwise its just a name

[@davidc6897]

Justin - Have you provided any boat build updates? I miss seeing/tracking your progress.

[@bigblue1287]

Looking good my Brother!!!!!! 😉 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

[@jamesgilbert2181]

just a question how are the health of the reefs there is there a lot of bleaching there or are they healthy?

[@CritterHunter]

Pretty good. No bleaching really

[@davidevans474]

You’re doing good just enjoy your journey it goes by quickly

[@CritterHunter]

Thank you, I will

[@whatsnext-007]

Nice Update ❤️

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks 🤗

[@Adrien-em9lt]

what you do is a dream to me. I'm working everyday to try to get just a little bit of what you live

[@CritterHunter]

You can do it man

[@jennymark7403]

Hey Justin, glad to see the business is going great, do you ever find the real sharks while your diving, ohh hey good word of advice please distance yourself from wakos and people that are friends that can damage your reputation , becarefull, you have a lot to loose don't get caught up in it please.😊

[@CritterHunter]

Only the fake sharks!

[@titodongplaylist2076]

Justin, any update on your boat?

[@CritterHunter]

Soon

[@tryscience]

@@CritterHunter I look forward to it!

[@didierdenice7456]

Under the water is where PEACE is ! Usually there are no idiots down there... When I dive the only idiot there would be me 😅 which I'm fine with !

[@turgutvelettin6727]

Justin what’s happening with the boat buddy 🤙

[@CritterHunter]

Back to work on it when outrigger wood gets in

[@GregVT]

Justin! What was that truck backing in at 1:32 ?!?! 🚛

How's Dexter doing, Justin?

[@CritterHunter]

Just chillin. Waiting foe boat parts

How is the weight loss journey going? Time to refocus!

[@CritterHunter]

Going fine

Awesome dude!@@CritterHunter

"Old dog new tricks" sure got healthy from his old videos. He said he owes it to fasting. He only eats one meal a day and eats steak for the one meal he does have.

[@CritterHunter]

@@MyLifeThai371 same as I do

[@TheJob508]

Justine, what happened to the boat? You haven't given your fans an update on your boat build. I have been following its progress from the time you found it in Cebu.

[@CritterHunter]

Just waiting on some 🪵 it's taking some time

[@prestonhogg6086]

I need an update on the boat.

[@CritterHunter]

You'll be ok

[@juliuspalamos7863]

How is your diving boat Sir

[@CritterHunter]

Stalled, until last shipment of wood gets in

[@topscris]

I really miss "critter of the day", and every time you show a critter that you yourself haven't seen before.

[@CritterHunter]

That's tough to do. There's plenty I haven't filmed though, of course.

[@startraveler795]

Your master diving course is approved by US VA Educational benefits? Youre school is listed in WEAMS?

[@CritterHunter]

Yup. VA will reimburse vets that still have GI Bill funds, for our SDI and TDI courses and career development

[@startraveler795]

I do not see your school at VA WEAMS?

[@CritterHunter]

@@startraveler795 I don't know what that is. You can email us for details on what courses they approve

[@startraveler795]

You got to be in VA WEAMS List in order to be approved by the VA. I got 32 months Post/911 left and I have to look up all schools in the Philippines that are approved by the VA and submit my VA Educational Eligibility for that school

[@CritterHunter]

@@startraveler795 our certifying agency is SDi and TDI, based in Florida, and as a 5star facility for them we are approved by the VA. We have prefilled out forms for each approved course package and have gone through this already. I can send you links if you email us, showing what VA pays for. Some guys also get housing and gear and travel, but that's not my department

[@gowithin9451]

Stay away from the hate Justin, it will eat you alive from the inside out. You have my backing

[@CritterHunter]

I appreciate you bud. And don't worry, it's easy to drown out when you're above it

[@djakko_]

How can you have a student go through his Open Water, Advanced, AND Rescue Course all in one sitting?! You say you're SSI and it's hard to believe that certifications are that easy to get with them. I wouldn't buddy with any of your divers.. 😢 Sorry.

[@CritterHunter]

Take it easy before jumping to conclusions. You can just calmly ask me to clarify and I will. We are sdi and tdi, with very strict training, he's not jumping anywhere in one sitting. He's taking a month for open water to rescue, with lots of practice dives in between. I promise you our divers come out of their OW course with more skills than ANY regular Ow student. You'd be lucky to have them as a dive buddy.

[@vanhelsing4344]

business doing good?

[@CritterHunter]

Very. Thanks for asking

[@gregsecore9625]

what the hack you didn't say anything about the boat, I thought that you own that resort any which way I love watching the videos about the boat I'm just a boat guy and that's what I like, I'm happy to hear that you are doing very well seem like a very good guy and I wish you the very best that life can bring you.

[@CritterHunter]

I forgot to mention it, but we are waiting for wood to start new outriggers
