  • If you ever come to missouri, there are actually some pretty cool caves and old mines to dive in. Most of them you do need to be cave certified, but others it is open water, and pretty freaking cool. Just remember your wet suit, it gets freaking cold.

    you just have to know who to ask about diving in missouri. (and night diving is really cool too, the fish are attracted to your lights so they just come up and check you out the entire time,)

  • I went snorkling in Mexico in a resort call Xel-Ha it was amazing there were so many fish you should check it out

  • @Kovukat2000 I was there last Christmas! there was another place that was owned by the same people, and it had a lot more fish if you knew where to look and got away from people.

  • I once saw a diver with a harpoon in a river next to my house and the river was like chest deep for me

  • Philip DeFaggot

  • Pay attention to his "and ahhh" Damn...i swear thats all i heard in this blog.

  • I just went snorkeling in Cuba, and it was really sweet!

    so much beautiful stuff, and you didn't have to go too far out.

    Veradaro Cuba, so beautiful!

  • another way to equalize your ears is to swallow ur own spit. so that shouldn't be affected by your cold

  • Playa Del Carmen... and Xhala Mexico... are two places in Mexico that i absolutely loved snorkeling at... and if you ever get the chance go to Hawaii and do some scuba diving there the water in both places are so amazingly clear you'd love it

  • :O pt cruiser at 1:45 ... i would punch you but ill break my screen

  • Just got PADI certified this summer. Victoria, BC Canada Best dive sites ever!!!! I saw a huge 13ft jelly fish and small ones, Wolf eels, cod, shrimp, flounders, and a sealion... A must see city as well.

  • Phillip im a 14 year old diver from jersey. If you want to go somewhere diving. Go to the grand cayman. The water is in the eighties and is crystal clear. Youll never forget the vivid colors from the fire coral, parrot fish, and barracuda. (yes barracudas) I actually went on my first dive there on a freighter wreck when i was 12. Do it youll never forget it. ps your supposed to deflate yor BCD when going to the surface to compensate for the pressure otherwise youll rise to fast and get the bends

  • you have the cutest dogs ♥

  • hey, awsome! Scuba diving is amazing. I am 14 and i have my scuba cert <3 ^^ Its amazing, I got to see alot of creatures and hope to shark dive, Hope you will dive more! Its healty too!

  • They didn't tell you to stand in the centre of the boat? The rocking isn't as bad there. Although I suppose what kind of boat it was haha.

    I'm also jealous you went on a boat, because when I got certified... it was all shore dives. And waves crashing into you is not very fun :(

  • SCUBA is Awesome :)

    It was great to hear you talk about it, it's refreshing to hear someone talk about diving and get the impression they were actually awake during the class, lol. Was your class PADI or SDI??

  • its fun to be shark bait? o0

  • everytime i watch your vlogs i feel like something from paranormal activity is gona happen

  • Actually Phil, blue holes are caverns that got filled up with water after the ice age melted, and yes, they are apparently beautiful.

  • I'm a free-diver and scuba diver. Come to Guam. I will show you around.

  • Black guy AT 5:12

  • 24,000 years old? WHOA

  • go to the u.s.s liberty in bali indonesia, its great at just 15 feet

  • There is the channel of a friend of mine in Utila, one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. Really beautiful diving when I was there, if you're lucky you can even see a whale shark.

    Bogdantravel

  • virgin gorda, BVI all fucking day long

  • i was snorkling (i was on a cruise) and I was paying attention to this wierd looking plant and then suddenly this HUGEEEE blue fish swam under me. i freaked out and like inhaled salt water.....i was like 2 city blocks away from the shore...then by the time I got to shore I the taste was gone. yeahhhh tht rlly sucked

  • Looe Key in the Florida Keys...it's absolutely AMAZING!!!!

  • worst dive ever= training to be rescue diver with a kid whos only gone 4 times

  • PHIL I've done the blue hole with my parents, and I have to admit it isn't the most fascinating experience. D: HOWEVER flying OVER the blue hole is apparently freakin awesome:)

  • i miss hawaii, i saw a bigass sea turtle....but it was part of a mural

  • I just passed my scuba diving open water in Sicily. It was AMAZING!!

  • Hello

  • Phil. The Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Largest coral reef in the world. "The Wall" is located in St. Croix, it's the 2nd largest coral reef. I suggest St. Croix because I've been there, and it's effing beautiful to scuba dive in. Tourists are almost non existent. It's in the united states virgin islands, and they say it also has the best sunsets down there :)

  • scuba diving is awesome. try the red sea, its amazing!

  • Ah!!!!

    i got certified and did checkout dives in april, and went on a weeklong trip this summer to the bahamas. IT. WAS. AMAZING. with this place called blackbeards. and we just went up and down the great exumas. ohhhh i miss it.

    you should go.

  • Went snorkeling in bermuda last year.... It was really cool :)

  • Like, for the puppies.

  • don't be afraid to go down to 100 ft. i have done it a couple of times and you don't even realize how far down you are. it's really an awesome experience.

    as far as places to scuba dive, hawaii is always a popular place. i have scuba dived there and as well as in the caribbean. and people say the great barrier reef is one of the best places but i have never been there.

    once you are pro, you should swim with the sharks! you will be fine. trust me!

  • Florida keys! i went scuba diving at the john pennekamp park its beautiful you should check out Christ of the Abyss statue too! the best part is that the water is crystal clear!

  • Comment removed

  • why do you never mention her?

    because she is DEAD.

  • I went snorkeling in Hawaii a few years ago as well. It was kinda touristy where they took us out to this little cove on the main island where there were a lot of tropical fish and what nots. I did not see a turtle which is sad because I love them.

    That one week in Hawaii and I knew I could spend the rest of my life in Hawaii. Maybe I will take so many scuba lessons I could open a little scuba lessons place on one of the islands....

    Look me up in a few years.

  • your underwater blubbering noises are stellar. :)

  • Dude go to Isla Roatan instead the reefs are not damaged by tourists like in belieze

  • scuba looks cool but id never do it. im afraid of the water.

  • Cramps is a bad deal! I got cramps diving and I ended up floating on the top like a dead fish in pain! but I was laugthing and so was everyone else.. haha

  • yaya certified!!!!!!!! I"m jr. Advanced certified :) also, catalina island!

  • yaya certified!!!!!!!! I"m jr. Advanced certified :)

  • Yeah, get a sponsor! Maybe you can get some cool underwater cam or something outta the deal. Just don't wuss out on all this...just do it!

  • I snorkeled in the seychelles, it was awesome. I didn't go deeper than a few meters, but I didn't need to

  • Don't know anything about scuba diving, but I know snorkeling in Hawaii rocks. :D

  • you has nice car seats phil...mmmm car seats

  • Yeah scuba diving is awesome i'm a diver and i have +200 dives in the whole of the world, and when i dive i feel something awesome

  • I swam in the pee filled ocean at Holden beach does that count

  • Have made from grapes on sub Saturday!!! : )

  • I learned how to dive about 5 years ago back when I lived in Colorado. I'm Advanced Open Water and also have Nitrox and High Altitude certs. I am now in Germany, but for the past 3 years I lived on Guam and have gone on countless amounts of dives there. Was attacked by some Trevallys one time, and almost had a finger bitten off, but it's all good, haha. I think it's probably one of the most fun hobbies out there. But yeah, lol...it can get expensive. Glad to hear that you got certified.

  • I snorkeled for the first time this summer on the great barrier reef. Twas beastly.

  • yes you SHOULD do oprah :D

  • Dive Master DAN???

  • yea so ur sister came over to my house, and came into my room, and.....naaaa i have no idea who ur sister is. but a melon did come in my room,, creepy.

  • yeah!!!! Scuba Dan!!!! or is it Scuba Steve?

  • haha good boy, you have your belt on :D

  • I was first SCUBA certified in 1983 - and I went down to 110' on Bonaire - was that wrong? The next day I went down with a massive hangover and I was out of air in like 20 minutes (lots of sucking air); I actually sat on a rock at 32+ feet for 10 minutes trying to feel better - then I had to swim what seemed like a 1/2 mile back to the boat after drifting - that sucked - but diving is awesome!!

  • I Like Turtles!

  • Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is amazing, there are thousands of private reefs where you don't get interrupted by anyone :)

  • went snork in mahana bay hawaii it was perfect

  • and uhhhh

  • i went snorkeling in the dominican republic. it was awesomee. it wasn't organized or anything we just had some gear and went into the ocean, but we still saw some beautifull scenery. sooo picturesque.

  • scuba=bause

  • Im 13... :O I put that stuff =]

  • If you want to go somewhere awesome, go to Bali, seriously. It's beautiful. And the boat rides are short, most of the times you just go out from the beach and swim out. And if you go around july, you can see some of the worlds most rarest fish called mola mola. I took a lot of my time to write this so you better fucking go there, now.

  • I went snorkeling when my family was in hawaii, we went to a nature preserve on kona, and it was absolutely amazing. we saw like every kind of fish, including an eel and it was awesome =)

  • i snorkeled in jamacia and saw all these beautiful fish

  • Some friends of mine went diving in egypt. They say it was amazing (:.

    It might be a bit expensive to travel from America to Egypt? :b 

  • What vlog is your sister in ?

  • @1122loveme i was wondering the same thing

  • I went to Belize, the Blue hole.... It was the most amazing experience for feeling alive and seeing the world... The boat was the Sundancer II and the crew that took care of us was one of a kind* incredible. The Sundancer II in Belize- on the LIVEABOARD. That's the way to go.... trust! Other than that, you will never forget your underwater sights and love for the hobby... Expensive, yes. But nothing compares. I am going to Bonaire next - but would love Austrailia!!

  • if u want a really good place to dive in, Eilat Israel.. one of the top 5 places to dive in.

    many many many fish and so much corals, and! Eilat have a very young security and night life.

    mentioning shes < 16: put her in your basement and dont let anyone in that doesnt do the secret knock

  • Damn you Phil. You make me even more sad that I don't have puppies. :|

  • My brother got his certification on scuba diving too. We went to a blue hole for it and it was fun :)

  • My brother got his certification too and it was nice to see how excited he was about that.

  • I didn't even know you had a sister. But good, keep her hidden if she's underaged, because it is the internet.

  • Yeah it was Pu'uhonua o Honaunau it was soooo cool lol

  • I ONLY watch this channel for the intro. lol.

  • Keep up the good work Phil!

  • I trust you pikachu!

  • Yay! SCUBA diving is awesome! lol. You're hilarious.

  • when i got my scuba certificate we did "out of air" too.. i didnt want to breathe thorugh the teacher's regulator and he jammed it in my mouth.. and you should've seen this guy *shudder*

    be careful with the equalising tho i almost ripped my eardrums..

  • Florida Keys is beautiful place to Scuba Dive. Great places at 40 feet, Got to swim with nurse sharks, a barricuda, and lots of cool fish. Plus in the distance i saw a huge stingray, like 15ft span.

    Btw, if they didn't teach you in scuba school, going up to fast can cause the bends, and you can die. just... ya know

  • Try snorkeling in the Philippines, especially in Palawan. It's really nice there and some of your viewers here in the Philippines would definitely want to meet you. ^_^

  • :o my name is sabrina! best name everr! :)

  • you should only fill up your bcd when you get to the surface if you dont it can get very dangerous

  • 108 people obviously don't know how to use their mouse.

  • I've been snorkeling in Belize (Specifically off the city of San Pedro) and it was absolutely gorgeous. I strongly recommend going.

  • @Jiroprime me too. it was amazing

  • My days are suddenly so much brighter after watching your videos, Phil. :)

  • Kannapali Beach, Maui

  • You shoudl defently go to the san andres islands, yeah i know what ur thinking isnt that a video game, but its not its in south america and the coral reifs are beautifull defenetly check it out

  • Small boats always give me motion sickness, I have to lie down.

  • That's a heck of a spit shine your floor has there! Wowza!

  • The best place I've ever gone diving is Bonaire, the entire island is an underwater preserve.

  • Hey, I went to the Blue Hole a few years ago, and it really is amazing. Most of the fish and living things are above the drop-off, but there's tons of interesting rock formations and coral and things below it. There's also a ton of great snorkeling in shallower areas around the islands in the area. I stayed at the Blackbird Caye resort, which has a lot of great snorkeling in the reefs around it and is only a short ride from the Blue Hole.

  • ohh i'm jealous that you're doing a course in scuba diving ;P hehe, I was in Egypt like 4 times, I've tried scuba diving ( intro) an I fell in love. I really want to be certified and I am waiting for my bday to receive cash for it, but the equipement is fucking expensive If you're looking for places abroad I definitely reccomend you Blue Hole in Egypt, Dahab as you know it's the most famous place to dive in, and when it comes to Egypt also reefs in Marsa Alam. Beautiful.

  • Rimouski, Quebec, Canada. Theres a boat underwater and you can go explore there.

  • im certified too! my (super amazing marine science) high school funded it. just wait until they tell you to take your goggles off and swim around blindly for a couple minutes at the bottom of the ocean. pssssh we usually have 3-4 feet in the atlantic :P

  • I went snorkeling in Turks and Caicos, it was absolutely gorgeous <3 You really gotta be careful of the fire coral, though...

  • ive been snorkeling in vanuatu which was pretty sweet. good luck with the scuba phil.

  • I've been scuba diving in Bali, Indonesia...it was awesome !!

  • Phil u should come to Silfra in iceland its a lake kinda thing that comes from a glacier so the water is crystal clear , there are caves and shit u should really consider it ! i loved it

  • You should come to Iceland .. its amazing :) you guys would love it

  • u relay like saying bluebadi blue and doobali doo lol

  • I've gone 100 feet down in hawaii and then went to a shipwreck and saw tons of seaturtles. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I definitely recommend that mess

  • My cousin is a career marine and was stationed in Okinowa Japan for four years. While he was there he became a certified dive master. At this point he has gone scuba diving all over the world. When he retires he plans on moving back to Okinowa because he wants to turn Scuba into a career and swears up and down that it is the best scuba diving in the world, and no matter how many times he goes there is always something new, fun, and cool to do.

  • @pchidester I live in Okinawa,

    the diving here is amazing.

  • I swear youre getting funnyer

  • I've been told that Scuba diving in the Philippines is pretty fun!

  • I'm a CCR diver, and the best place I've probably been to so far that would fit your level is prolly Sudan.

  • I get motion sickness too on boats. The worst thing to do is look down or close your eyes. Looking at the horizon is fucking bullshit. It doesn't help when your moving so it makes the horizon move too >.> I found drinking lots of water or eating something takes your mind off of it.

  • Giant blue hole? omg navi

  • I snorkled in the great barrier reef when I went to Australia like 5 years ago. It was so pretty! People had options to scuba if they were certified and they had these under water bike things with little bubble to put your head in so you could breath.

    I wish I hadn't left my camera on the plane home. Lost so many good pictures!!! :(

  • I went to Aruba last year to go scuba diving. it was incredible. The sonesta underwater airplanes were the best. And 80 feet doesnt even feel that deep so ull be fine.
