      We got it back when we were leaving thankfully. Apparently, you have to make a request to bring it in (not sure how long it takes). So next time, probably will just have to use something there.

      😂🤣😂🤣 I have really good air consumption. My “low on air” usually just means it’s time to turn the dive around and start thinking about heading back so I don’t have to kick from above water. Lots of cool stuff seems to happen during those times! 🧜🏽‍♀️

    I finished it and I just have to say YOU HAVE OUT-DONE YOURSELF! The music on your descend and ascend always get me because I get so calm yet excited to “go under” with you and then get a little sad that it’s over but that feeling of “Rocky at the top of the stairs” vibe when you are safely on dry land with your haul. (Poor mackerel sacrificed a bit of external beauty, but heck someone had to take one for the team…that last poke at Mr. Shark sent him packing, tho’! Hee hee!) Amazing narration and your video editing skillz are 🔥!

      When it dies it stops producing venom, then it takes about 8 hours for the remaining venom to no longer be a threat.
