00:01 John Daub: Hey everybody, so we're live out at sea. We were just spotting some dolphins out here, but we're on the move again. Dolphin sightings—we might be 35 minutes, we didn't go very deep, it's not about the depth, it's more like 23 meters. We saw some manta rays, which is really amazing. There was a family of them, maybe like 10 or 20, and we were able to follow them for a while.

01:41 John Daub: But I need to find something more exciting. You know, dive videos can be a little invidious, so you need to add something more exciting in it—like somebody getting eaten by a shark, or maybe an attack, or one fish eating another fish, something like that. But I gotta keep on doing it, so I'm gonna do a series of dives here and try to find something. The first dive was important because I was getting used to the camera. I wasn't really used to how to use the camera underwater, because they're new cameras. And it went okay, but I think we can do a little bit better.

02:16 John Daub: Alright, we're going now to the next dive site. Really jetting out there. Well, there's no underwater footage right now, because I'm taking it for the main channel. And there's no phone signals underwater either, okay? So if you're hoping for underwater live streams, that's not gonna happen—like, ever. Unless you're from a submarine and they have a clean signal out, it's really hard to do a live stream underwater. I don't see how it's possible unless you have a wire from the outside, from above, directly connected to the camera below. You need to broadcast a signal through water.

02:58 John Daub: We had a pretty good dive. There wasn't really that many sharks, and I was glad that this was the first dive I've been in a little while. So it was pretty good to get back into it, and just get used to it. I didn't think I was gonna get a lot of good shots, but I did get some, which I can use. So the challenge will be over the next couple of days to try to get a scuba diving episode together. I've never done anything like this before. It's the first time, so it's gonna be pretty amazing.

03:28 John Daub: I got my wetsuit on. So we're going out to the next dive site. I'm really not sure where we're going. The dive operator picked me up at the hotel at 8 o'clock. I checked out of the hotel, and my orientation was driving here. And they gave me a little tip—I'm getting on the boat. Just get your stuff on and let's go. But this is what the diving around Ogasawara (Ogasawara Islands) looks like. And I guess we have a pretty good signal.

04:03 John Daub: Frank, I wouldn't say these are shark-infested, but the sharks are pretty well fed. So they don't need to attack people. They only attack people when there's no other food around, and they're hungry—usually really deep in the Pacific where there's dead spots. That's where the sharks are, that's where they start eating people. But there's not gonna be a problem with that here. There's a really nice shipwreck in the harbor that you can see. You don't even have to go scuba diving—you can just see it from the harbor. It's pretty amazing. There's lots of World War II wrecks down here, I think.

04:46 John Daub: Hey, Linda. You'll work up an appetite. Please save up for after. Thank you. Thank you. Cue the Jaws theme. That's right. I've been under for about 100, 150 times. I have a dive master's license. I got that entirely—got my open water in Maldives, my advanced in Bali, and my rescue dive in Honduras. And these are all like 15 years ago. So yeah, I could use a little bit of CPR practice too. It's been a while.

05:25 John Daub: It's just really cool that we can livestream from a boat out in the sea 1,000 kilometers away from Tokyo. And we got a signal. This is way too cool. How is this even possible, guys? We don't have Wi-Fi out here. This is 4G, everybody. I don't know if you're getting such an amazing signal. It's magic.

07:09 John Daub: Waterproof camera. I introduced that camera in an Instagram post, so you can see what rig I'm using. It's not a really great rig, but it's good enough to get the job done. My camera, the camera that I have, overheated after 10 minutes, so I'm gonna have to change the settings from 4K to HD. I guess it's a Sony RX100. It has overheating problems, even underwater. So yeah, I'm gonna have to change the settings from 4K to HD. I'm gonna have to find a way to stop the overheating, maybe change it to HD, and maybe it won't. Wow, look at it. Look at the water crashing on the rocks over there. It's all out here.

10:45 John Daub: DocuMan up to no good. I don't know how good the signal's getting. We're getting further away from the city. But I don't think a livestream's ever been done here before on the water. Like, what? I still can't believe it. Pretty nice to share this with you. We have a live stream. It's a beautiful day. The typhoon is finished from most of Japan, but the typhoon never came here.

11:14 John Daub: Do like this livestream. Hit that like button. Do it gently. Let me know, and I might livestream again in the next—tomorrow. I'll be out here tomorrow. I can't see the bars right now, so I'm not sure how many bars I'm getting, but I think we're getting closer to the dive site. This part of the island is so uninhabited. Oh, there's one house over there. Do you see? There's a couple of houses over there. It's very pristine, is the word. There is a tower up there. I don't know if that's for the mobile streaming. Maybe they made that just for us. I don't know. But I'm really set.

12:10 John Daub: Right before I clicked the live button and I went live a couple of minutes earlier than scheduled because there were dolphins surrounding the boat. Can you believe it? There were about 70 dolphins surrounding the boat. And I got my drone out and I filmed, I believe, some dolphins jumping. I don't know if I got it. I believe I did, but the drone laws are really harsh here. But this boat, this company, one of the reasons why I'm diving with them is they let me fly my drone. Yeah, there's like 70 of them. I'm not kidding. I'm underestimating, which is rare for me. There could be hundreds, thousands. It could be a lot.

12:52 John Daub: All right. We're getting close to the dive site. Now, after you go diving, you should have some surface time. And surface time, usually the computer that I have will tell me how much surface time that I need. But usually it's about 40 minutes. And then you can go back in again. We're not doing real deep dives and the surface interval is less if you don't go so deep and you don't go for so long.

13:21 John Daub: All right. So I'm going to livestream for another few minutes. I'll take you up to the second floor. Okay. Oh, wait. No, they're already getting ready. So I got to get ready too. All right, guys. So this is going to be the end of the livestream. Are you ready? Are you still okay? Yes. Okay. I have to change my tank, actually. To dive, you have to change the tank over.

16:36 John Daub: That means you have to take BCD (buoyancy control device), which is the life vest looking thing. You take it and move to the next one. And that's pretty easy to do. You're tired and you're breaking down the equipment—that's harder. But you just want to relax. But you're tired. Okay. Oh, okay. Look, we're back in the harbor. All right. Let me take you upstairs for a second.

17:08 John Daub: Hey, guys. Now, we're back in the harbor. We're departing at around 3 o'clock today, 3-3:30. And yeah, this is where we're staying. I'm staying on the other side of that mountain. There's a tunnel that goes through there. Some of you have been watching the Instagram know about the tunnel. And this is the dive boat. I can show you the camera I have. I want to thank Simon for letting me use his camera. You can watch it on my channel. This is Simon's camera. Thanks Simon. We're taking good care of it. I had to add this ring to it so it'll focus but I keep it inside this housing which allows me to go down to 40 meters and the GoPro is good to go. This is a light. The light's not too bright believe it or not. I wish I had a little bit brighter, but it's okay.

18:03 John Daub: Yeah, everything's worked pretty good. I lost my [inaudible] and I say oh really. But you just have to hand catch it and if you ever hand caught a Mavic Pro, it's not that easy because the legs on it are so thin. Caught the Mavic Pro and it's still spinning and I had to take my thumbs and push it together to turn it off and you know, nobody got hurt but I had my wetsuit on too. So if it did hit me, got lucky. Most important thing you gotta get the shots man.

19:06 John Daub: You get good shots. This is what I'm surrounded with and become the old us the water. You this is what you expect. This one's called fish eye my regulator and I think I swallowed maybe a hundred CC. You'd be sick tonight just give me one more dive. You guys have any questions? Any questions here that up? There's the weather station and I believe it's up there on the other side of that and I was I took a time-lapse from there on Instagram the other day. Really nice a lot of the stuff's right around the town.

20:07 John Daub: And if I I finally got a motorbike yesterday and now I can ride around on the motorbike which gives me mobility. But I only have the motorbike to the ninth because when the next boat comes in I gotta give up my bike which stinks. Cost about fifteen, twenty dollars a day. Are you gonna get a dead cat? Not for this. I'm gonna go downstairs. Maybe you guys can hear me now. Hear me now, but leave me later.

21:17 John Daub: There's some wind out here. Sorry about that. There's another dive boat making its way out. So I guess I'm not gonna be getting a dead cat for this. I don't—it's in my other bag. All right, so I'm gonna end this livestream. Thanks for watching. I'm gonna get ready to go back in. I don't know what that sound is. Let's get it pretty interesting to see first of all if I could do this underwater episode. I'll have some good shots. I need to get some more shots and I need to jump in with the dolphins and try and see if I can get some swim with the dolphins.

22:03 John Daub: That'd be pretty cool. That's sort of my main goal because everybody loves dolphins, right? So this is gonna be like a dolphin swim type of episode. We're gonna do something fun. It's nice to be back diving again. It's so peaceful under the water. And if you've never scuba dived I gotta tell you something—it's like it's completely new world. Once you start doing it, you've discovered a new world and it's quiet down there. It's peaceful. You see the fish, the fish are like smiling at you. It's weird. It's a happy world except for when one big fish eats another small fish. Then that small fish's world changes and the big fish is not hungry anymore. So you know, it's a fish-eat-fish world down there.

22:41 John Daub: If you're gonna be a fish you got it—you get the peacefulness and the beauty of being a fish down there and then you have you know your food. So it's just part of life in the sea. Yeah. Guys beautiful colored water. I want to say thank you for watching. We're 22 minutes in I'll see you again later. I'm gonna go back to filming for the main channel. Have a good day wherever you are. Yes, and we are also maybe part of the food chain just thankfully we're on the top of it, you know for now till the monkeys take over.
