We live in one of the most sought after dive destinations in the world
Welcome back guys uh so it's been five days since our trip
and we have just totally settled back into the routine here at Uepi. So today uh I'm gonna
head off with Arlo and show you guys a bit of a project that we've been working on together which
is really cool. I think Filly's gonna hang out with Nana this morning maybe do some gardening
uh it is video day here so someone's still in the trenches
and for those of you who are new here um may not realize that we actually live in a scuba diving
resort. For those of you who have been here before throw us a comment below let us know what your
favorite thing about Uepi is and uh later on this afternoon we're all gonna jump up in the water we
might even sneak away for a dive if we can and the kids are gonna join us for a snorkel as well
and show you this amazing house reef that we've got right here so yeah we live on one of the most
incredible coral reefs on the planet we thought oh we haven't even shown you guys that yet so
that's what we're gonna do we're gonna jump in and show you a bit more of our beautiful home
Arlo what was it that you wanted to see this morning this afternoon when we go for a snorkel
Two sharks
Two sharks, I reckon we can definitely do two sharks that's easy we've got hundreds of sharks
what do you want to see Filly. "Two sharks" two sharks as well so then we're gonna need to find four whole sharks
I reckon we can do it all right
[Arlo] They've got really big leaves
[Jase] Who planted those?
Nanny, Arlo & Mirri
[Jase] Wow pretty cool how good is that first banana gonna taste?
Nanny did one. Arlo did one.
Mirri did one. [Jase] Wow so cool.
[Jase] Baaahhh [Arlo] *growls*
[Arlo] Getting some tanks ready
[Jase] Yeah and how was Mummy's dive gear? [Arlo] Good. [Jase] All ready to go go!
yeah all right sweet and what are we doing next?
Should we go show everyone our little project
Yeah
[Jase voiceover] I have always had a deep passion for timber. There's just something so unique about
how it makes you feel that no other material can replicate. I know Arlo and I will build many
things together in the future and creating this first beautiful table together that honors this
precious resource means a lot to me. It might take us a while so make sure you subscribe hit
the notification bell and tune in every week so that you can eventually see the finished product
So we didn't quite get as much as we'd like to done but we've got all the pieces ready for our
first chair to go together we've got the legs of the table all glued
and we've got this beautiful joint slab top so this is all Solomon rosewood which is pretty
hilarious considering it's a kid's play table but I love good timber um so yeah we're gonna
go to lunch now and we'll probably have to pick this up tomorrow afternoon I'd say or tomorrow
morning um hopefully if Katie and I can get out for a dive. If not we might come back to this arvo (afternoon)
all right let's go
[Katie] What you doing there baby? [Jase] Just pack horsing, as usual
*Katie laughing*
[Jase] Let's go diving
All right this is the first scuba dive I've been on in
so long I don't even, I'm not even sure when we last went for a scuba dive but
looking forward to it it should be nice um it's been a pretty hectic week to be honest the kids
have been sick Jase and I have both been sick since getting back from our holiday
and yeah it's been a bit of a rough one so this afternoon the kids are with um Jill and Grant and
Jase and I are just going to run up to Uepi Point get in go for a dive blow some bubbles and
yeah hopefully there's lots of sharks. We'll see what happens
Uepi Point is a pretty unique little spot because this is a deep water channel
here that connects the lagoon to the open ocean
and as a result we get huge amounts of water movement in in and out of this passage every day
and yeah basically you're sitting on the edge of a 2000 meter deep trench so anything can come
swimming up and over time everything has from you know your normal schools are fish all the
way through to orca so lots of current means lots of fish lots of sharks and nice blue water from
that open ocean side so hopefully if the current is doing the right thing we're just waiting for
it maybe to push in a little bit more and then we'll head out and show you guys what it's all about.
So we live in one of we live in one of the most sought after dive destinations in the world
and we haven't been diving I think in over a year
[Katie] We've been free diving
We've been free diving a lot but it's so ridiculous
How you going there baby? I'm so cold like I don't remember when I was this cold, in Canada
for our honeymoon. Which was minus 32. Uepi positive 32.
Just back from a nice dive on Uepi Point and the kids came to join us for a big snorkel
Yeah so nice. It was a little bit rough wasn't it but it was
um it was beautiful and how many starfish did you see
Ten!
TEN!
and we saw lots of beautiful fish and corals. [Arlo] Mummy only see one. You only saw one Mum?
No only Filly and I only saw one. You get a different count, different starfish count. Yeah
but we're all pretty cold so we're gonna go have a shower try and warm up and it was a
nice dive we still didn't get the action but it was it was so nice just chilling so many fish
and a beautiful big school of um Sailfin Snapper yeah absolutely beautiful so pretty nice I'm sure
we will be taking you guys on more dive soon make sure you give the video a like if you enjoyed
seeing us go scuba diving and subscribe if you're new here and we'll see you next week. Bye!
