- [Brian] We're a few days into our stay
at Coco Banderas Cays.
And after spending a few days exploring
the Palm Field Islands,
we decide to venture below the surface.
(serene music)
(water bubbles)
The gin clear water here is well protected
from the ocean swells by gigantic barrier reef
and absolutely teaming with life.
(serene music)
With water temperature of around 30 degrees Centigrade
or about 86 degrees Fahrenheit,
it's absolutely perfect for swimming without a wetsuit
and a great opportunity
to see some amazing underwater critters.
(serene music)
(energetic music)
(serene music)
- What a great snorkel.
- [Man] You saw octopus.
- I know, like you never see an octopus.
And I saw one, it was like a very brief visit.
- [Man] Did you get a good shot of it or no?
- It was kind of on the Gulf probably, kind of far away,
but I think I got something.
- [Man] You saw an eel?
- Eel, stone fish, lobster.
- [Man] The stone fish was crazy.
- I know.
They look so mean to me, it's like...
Yeah, don't wanna sample one of those.
- [Man] It's a pretty good swim, though.
- It's nice. It's great.
Love it.
It's good exercise.
- [Man] High five.

- [Man] Would you rather drink margaritas on the beach
or margaritas on the forward deck?
And those are your only two options.
(both chuckle)
- She heard us.
She's like, oh- - Margaritas.
Okay.
- Ooh, that's a really hard one.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- I don't know.
- [Brian] Life is full of tough decisions.
There's also the cruiser's meeting on the beach.
- Oh, is it?
- [Brian] I see some cruisers sitting in there.
Oh, let's make this a game time decision.
- Oh, okay.
- [Brian] I will make the margaritas.
- Okay.
- [Brian] I'm gonna make margaritas
and I'm gonna cheat and use margarita mix.
(ice crunches)
(tropical music)
- [Brian] Okay.
(tropical music)
- That's really good, actually.
- [Brian] Really?
I think it needs more tequila.
- Yeah. It's not biting strong.
- Oh. - It's pretty strong.
(tropical music)
(lever clicks)
(tropical music)
- It's tough on this one.
Oh wow.
- [Karin] Springy.
- Springy.
Super spring action.
(tropical music)
What a place this is, huh?
- Oh, she likes it.
It's sort of like a trampoline.
- [Brian] Yeah.
Get it, Nuggs, get it.
Well, what do you have there?
- [Karin] Spread on a stick.
- [Brian] Wow. That looks cool.
(speaking Spanish)
(soft music)
- Kaza, I'm gonna go spear fishing.
- [Karin] Cool.
- [Brian] See if I can get something for dinner.
I think there's some grouper around.
I'm just gonna head out to the outside reef like-
- Nice. - Up there.
- That sounds perfect cause I haven't defrosted anything.
So- - I'll see you soon.
- Catch something please.
(upbeat music)
- [Brian] Our dinner.
Haven't seen many fish here...
No grouper.
Saw a small snapper, but there is plenty of lobster.
So it looks like it's lobster for dinner again.
You did all right?
- No, not so good.
- [Brian] You got some...
- [Hanna] That tends to be bad.
- [Max] Fire coral, oh.
- It burns!
- [Brian] What happened? Just a wave.
- Yeah. A wave crashed over, like it was coming towards me.
And then, I just kinda had to accept
that it was gonna happen.
So, yeah. It just crashed over me
and pushed me onto the fire coral.
Missed a few shots.
Saw a Nurse Shark. Yeah.
- [Brian] Yeah. The Nurse Shark was cool.
- That was really cool.
- [Brian] I didn't have the camera with me though.
What'd you get, Bill?
- [Bill] Red Snapper.
(Bill laughs)
All right.
Cool.
All right, sun setting.
- So Brian went out spear fishing with Max and Hannah.
And I think I see them.
They're just on their way back.
So hopefully they caught something.
We'll see, it's getting a little bit late.
I was like, it's getting dark.
Where are they?
But I think I can see them in the farness there.
(upbeat music)
- That's Dad.
- [Karin] Ah, nice.
- Lobster for dinner again.
Sorry.
- [Karin] Nice, though.
- Was it no fish?
- Didn't see any big fish.
Bill got a snapper.
- [Karin] Okay.
- I just got lobster.
Hannah burned herself on Fire Coral.
- [Karin] Oh, nice.
- Do you remember what to do for that?
- [Karin] I can't remember. I need to research.
Whoa. It's really sunny out here.
So the sun is blasting and you've probably seen us
wear this sweet Delos rash guard in pretty much every video
since we've gotten here to San Blas.
And they're amazing.
They're UV proof.
They protect you from the elements.
We have both men and women's.
We've been torture testing them for a couple of years now.
And I just love mine.
And we even designed little baby rash guard selection.
Do you like your rash guard, Sierra?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
You wear it every day on the beach.
So yeah, if you wanna check them out,
head to svsdelos.com/shop and have a look.
Okay. Back to the show.
(waves lapping)
- [Brian] We have a babysitter today.
- What's up?
So excited for this.
- [Brian] This is Hannah.
We met you a few months ago in Bocas.
- Yeah. In Bocas. Yep.
- [Brian] Yep. And she is gonna be watching
the baby nugget today.
We are gonna go out snorkeling and maybe spear fishing.
Wow. Nuggs, You're gonna have fun.
- Yes.
- [Hannah] Swimming.
(both chuckle)
- [Karin] See you soon.
Like come here.
- Alright. Where you wanna go?
- This way. - This way?
(energetic music)
- Exciting. We haven't like been snorkeling together
for quite some time.
It's a real treat. I'm excited.
(energetic music)
(water bubbling)
(waves lapping)
- Ready.
Set. Go.
(upbeat music)
- What a great sand bank.
- Yeah.
Let's just take the dinghy out into the reefs
and just like work our way that way.
- [Karin] Okay.
- [Brian] It'll look really cool on the drone.
(energetic music)
- This is like the biggest ray I've ever seen.
It's huge.
(water bubbling)
(soft music)
- [Brian] To say we were impressed by the biodiversity
here would be an understatement.
Although the Kuna people have lived
and fished here for generations,
they've managed to find a balance with nature.
(serene music)
Fishing with hand lines, spears and small nets,
they're able to live off the sea
and still allow mother nature to replenish.
The result is a healthy ecosystem.
(serene music)
I really hope the Kuna can continue this way of life
and continue to resist the commercialism
that more often than not
trades environmental interests for economics.
(serene music)
- Hi.
Hi. - Hi.
Hi there.
Hi babe, can I have a hug?
Sierra, did you have fun with Hannah?
- Na. Na.
Yeah. Hannah. She's your friend.
(Sierra laughs)
(Brian and Karin laugh)
- [Brian] Go over there. Go over there.
Here they come. Here they come.
(tropical music)
- Say it. Say cheese.
(tropical music)
- Cheese.
(Brian laughs)
- Ow.
Stop.
Stop that, nah nah nah.
It hurts.
I just got a haircut at the beach.
Look at that. - Nice.
There's a lot of hair.
- Look at these hairs.
- [Karin] It's a lot of hair.
- Look at these hairs.
Sierra tortured me the whole time.
Ow.
That's not nice.
- Ah.
Oh, you have hair on your hair.
Let's go swimming to get all this hair off.
Hey, come on.
(upbeat drum music)
(waves lapping)
Have you enjoyed our time here?
- Yeah.
Like this spot has just been like incredible.
- [Brian] It's been really nice, huh?
- I love it. Yeah.
It's been so chill.
Like the beach is beautiful
and the water is great snorkeling
and it's been a very special spot.
- [Brian] Did you get everything done in your week
of activities that you wanted to?
Is there anything you missed?
- I don't remember what we said.
- [Brian] I can't even either.
That means that yes, we got everything.
- I think so. Are you happy, Sierra?
(Sierra babbles)
She's like, let's go back.
- [Brian] She's like, let's go back and have a nap.
And then tomorrow we're off to the next spot.
- Yep. - Wherever that may be.
We don't even know yet. We're just gonna go.
It's been a fantastic week, though.
Like this, yeah.
It's been like paradise here.
Love it.
- Here, Nugget, help Daddy out.
- [Sierra] Mah. - Mah.
Nay, nay.
- Nay.
(men laughing)
- [Sierra] Hey. Mama.
- [Karin] Meanwhile, me and Sierra are having some oats.
- As usual.
- [Video Voice] I get it.
Maybe all the books are organized by subjects.
- [Karin] Do you like your dry oats?
Water notes, huh?
- [Video Voice] A lot of rearranging to do.
- [Karin] This kid.
