That is because we've taken a last minute flight to Deadman's Cay, which is on Long Island. - Sounds reasonably foreboding, doesn't it? - It does. We've taken the boat to a safe place, so, she's gonna be okay for the week that we're gone because there is a free diving competition. - Us, on the other hand at Deadman's Cay. - Yeah, who knows what's gonna happen there? So there's a free diving competition there called Vertical Blue, and Riley's been in contact with a guy called Adam who is Australian, and he's gonna be there and he said that we should come and hang out and see what's goin' on there and it would be pretty interesting to see the Blue Hole. You guys will know the Blue Hole. It's pretty famous and I'm excited to jump in the water and see what it looks like. So that's where we're going. Are you excited? - I am. I get to meet Adam; Adam Stern, the Australian free dive champion and all-around legend. And also I'm gonna jump in and see how deep I can go with a little bit of instruction from him. I'm sure it'll be reasonable. So that'll be good. (relaxing music) (bird singing) - I do not like these planes, one bit. - [Riley] Yes, this is in fact the Long Island airport. Apparently it's recently been extended which the locals are very happy about. This is Marsha. - Hi, I'm Marsha, I'm a native from Long Island. - [Riley] She was going to take us to our Airbnb which apparently was quite hard to find by ourselves. And this is Mr. T from the car rentals place. They're death traps, but he was pretty funny and we liked him. - Mr. T.! (laughing) (gentle music) - [Elayna] So our house is a little off the beaten track. This view is insane. Epic. - [Riley] This was our pad that we'd managed to snag on Airbnb. It was cheap, maybe because she'd said no hot water and no drinking water, but we were like, hey, we live on a boat and that's not really gonna be a problem. We were the last house along the road with miles of freedom, goats, and a view over the cliffs to the Atlantic swell. (relaxing music) - Oh, okay. - [Elayna] Wow, this is really nice. - You wanna open up the windows. Because of the storm, the only way they stay up is by using this. Open this door up. And that's the view. - This is ridiculous! This is so nice. What have we got? Down here. - [Elayna] What is that? - [Riley] Look at all the frogs. - [Elayna] Oh, there's frogs. Cute, hey! - [Riley] Look at this guy. - [Elayna] Where? (relaxing music) - [Riley] Marsha got us settled into the house and we hit the sack pretty early that night. - [Elayna] She's done it. Success! - Well done. This coffee? - [Elayna] Yeah. - Oh. - [Elayna] I made it all by myself. - I'm really happy for ya (laughs). - [Elayna] It's out of this weird machine. - [Riley] I've seen you do more impressive things in the past though. - Well, I'm pretty impressed with myself. I went for a walk this morning. It was beautiful and I went down to the beach that Riley and I plan to go swimming in and I was pretty disappointed to see mountains of plastic everywhere. The whole beach was just covered. So, I guess it's coming straight from the Atlantic and- - [Riley] How bad is it? - [Elayna] It's pretty bad. I'll show you. What are you doing? Those frogs were so loud last night in bed, you would not believe and I forgot to bring earplugs and I had a terrible sleep (laughing). It's nice to listen to them, like, you know. It is a beautiful sound, but just not all night. - Try and keep it down tomorrow night, alright? - [Elayna] Seriously, and once one starts, they all start. Get my shoe out of there. - What shall we feed them? Hear? (frogs croaking) (Riley laughing) - So today we're meeting up with Adam and Erin and some other friends at the Blue Hole, so we're gonna see it for the first time today, lunchtime. Really excited, but before then we need to try and find the mini market and stock up the fridge because we are on our last rations of fresh water that Marsha gave us and, yeah, luckily I bought some pre-made healthy hot chocolates with me so I'm having that for breakfast. But yeah, we need to get some supplies. Crabs. - [Riley] Oh my God. - [Elayna] Crabs everywhere. Oh my gosh, do not! Hey! - Oh, he's strong! - [Elayna] Is he? - [Riley] Yeah. And he's tryna... - [Elayna] (laughing) Alright, alright that's close enough. I got him, put him down. (Riley laughing) - What are these things? What are they again? Let's get one. (gentle music) - Do you remember when that person rode in and said that we're like chipmunks scurrying around- - [Elayna] Well we seem on the hunt for food, yeah. As you can see we are pretty hungry and you're not gonna believe it but we forgot to buy water which is the whole reason we went there, really. Oh yeah. (Riley laughing) - Oh my god! This car just all of a sudden out of absolutely nowhere, the radio just turns itself on and then up to a level that has clearly scarred Elayna and I. That's the second time that's done it. We're really tryna film it; it's insane. I remember seeing a movie years ago where there was this weird experiment being done and everyone in a World War 2 setting and everyone died from these loud noises. It's so horrendously loud, I nearly crashed the car the first time. And just then, it turned itself on and Elayna and I both just started panicking. I put the indicator on, slammed the brakes on, and fortunately she got to it before it got to peak volume because it is, I'm sure that it would do damage. If we had the kid in the back, the child, the baby who we love, it'd just be a disaster. - [Elayna] So we can't turn it off. We can't figure out how to turn it off. There's no off button on the whole thing, and I'm scared to push more buttons but- - I blame the student representatives. - [Elayna] What are you doing? - Tying my hair up with a leaf. - Twig. All right, so who have we got here? - G'day, g'day, I'm Adam. I'm an Australian competitive free diver and oh, there he is. Hair tie! - [Elayna] Really? - See what you can find on the beach? - So I'm here competing in a competition in the Bahamas and Riley and Elayna are obviously in the neighbourhood so they figured they'd come around and check out what we're doing. - [Riley] Thanks for showing us everything here, mate. We really appreciate it. - Pleasure, absolute pleasure. - [Elayna] Thanks for your hospitality. - They're super hard people to be around so it makes it really hard to be hospitable. - She's a wonderful editor (laughs). Adam's got a YouTube channel and he's huge on Instagram, so please go and check all that stuff out. - [Elayna] Great photographs. This is Dean's Blue Hole. It's the deepest blue hole in the world with a depth of 202 metres, or 663 feet. The hole is populated by snapper, jacks, tarpon, rays, turtles and tiny sea horses and the occasional shark. It's still unknown how it was formed exactly, but it's said that the blue holes in the Bahamas formed somewhere around 15,000 years ago when the sea levels were lower. Sometimes these holes were formed by deeper ground water gradually dissolving the limestone until the ceiling of these voids collapsed. The competition runs over 11 days and today was a rest day for all the competitors, although some still came down to the blue hole to practise. We were lucky enough to have a free day with Adam in the water to practise on the platform. (relaxing music) You've changed outfits. It's a bit chilly. - Good shit! - The second he caught them he regretted it cause he didn't- - [Elayna] He's a hungry boy. - I'm really happy. - [Elayna] You're nearly done. I filmed too late. - Look at those guys piggin' out here. - So Erin and Adam have taken us to Love Beach. That's where we are now. It's very romantic and Riley forgot his shorts. Apparently he's going nude, you guys. - [Elayna] This is Love Beach, the protected pool of water with only a tiny inlet to the open sea, located in a secret spot which we wouldn't have been able to find by ourselves. (relaxing guitar music) - Come on. (laughing) - Thanks for watching, you guys. Please join us on Friday for part two, the competition and the after party. - If you like that video guys, please give it a thumbs up as you know that helps us out a lot and first thing in the description on the very first line, we'll have a link to Adam's YouTube channel so go and follow him as well because he really knows how to freedive and he laughs a lot. He actually makes me think that I'm funny and like Elayna said, the second half of this will be up, when? - Friday. - Friday, cool. Okay, enjoy the rest of your day.
