I’ve told you before. I only watch your videos when you leave Ukraine. I know your house and your eating habits in Ukraine, but for me these videos are really cool as a personal friend. Because I know you it’s actually kinda like being there.
I haven't watched any of his videos since the travel to dubai one. Just not my cup of tea and the energy is werid and off in these, but glad you all are enjoying them. Looking forward to seeing the chill everyday videos again.
Hey Johnny...During my active duty in the Navy and stationed on the USS Copeland (FFG25), we paid a port visit to Port Victoria and anchored in 30 fathoms. The water, so clear you can stand on the rail and look down into the water and watch the fish swim in the coral and rocks. It was like you had an Aquarium all around us! It was an amazing place to do a 4 day port visit and a nice break from our recent duty in the Persian Gulf. I swore that I would take my wife there on our 40th wedding anniversary. But after adding up all the cost for hotels and flights from San Diego, we were looking at a cost of almost $15K, plus the meals and my wife told me..."We are not staying a week, we are staying a month!". Never made it but your video brought back some great experiences!
@@JohnnyFD It was the 1990's when I was on that Reethi Ra island and there were only about 20 if even that single room huts.. so very few staying on the island. The coral reef was stunning. It was my first time seeing a coral reef but you could tell it had never been disturbed. The colors and shapes were magical. We snorkeled off the raft all morning ..it was December but still so hot. There was a deep drop under water in places and at the bottom a huge black eel lived in a crevice. We only ever saw him partially out of it each day when we dived. Apparently he'd been living there a long time... And there one angel fish who would bite me when I was wading out to swim to the raft if I got too near his patch of coral.. I'd forget about him and get bitten again.. everyone on our patch of the beach knew to avoid his / her home.. none of the other fish bit us .. I wondered was it guarding eggs, or baby angelfish.. or just a mean fish! But we didn't have mobile phones back then to 'google' anything! I was surprised I got such good photos from the little throwaway underwater camera I bought at Dublin airport last minute before we went. It even managed to film the eel in his crevice which was quite deep. Yeah... that undisturbed coral reef was magical, the rays and the turtles and such an array of colored fish.. and light under water was sparkling.. Though after that awful long flight crapped in like sardines to Sri Lanka and back... I swore I would never make a long distance flight in a sardine tin of a plane again and I never did.
So, I'm confused, are you on vacation from how winter cold Ukraine was as a new citizen? Are you going back later, or were you spooked by security reasons and are done with Ukraine? I'm sure there are Ukrainian friends featured in your vids would like to know since this war began. I've appreciated all you've been through and hope for the best.👍
Such a lovely kid, Jackson. I enjoyed your video. Saddens me to see wankers leaving nasty comments re. Ukraine. Enjoy your time with dear friends. I slava ukraini x
@@JohnnyFD I would love to, but I don't have the luxury to leave everything. Super supportive of your channel, just very different to what you have been doing
You are safe and the young one is happy. Although you somehow seem to swap one danger for another of a different kind. You escaped a war to visit a place where there are slaves of sorts and then you happened into a cruise and dove with creatures armed with stingers and jaws; Yet, you are precariously safe. Daughter and her BFF went on an ocean cruise Christmas through the new year for about 2 weeks, her first on a big ship. She knows how to sail a pram and a Catalina single handedly or with a team. Might gift her younger sister a trip this summer; however, the younger daughter's trip will be an entrepreneurial educational adventure because I'm considering sending her to a place to buy some land. She'll inspect the land and decide if she wants to own it then go through the purchase process and that will be her reward for studying hard for a year. Maybe not as enjoyable as your vacation since she won't be partying but in a refreshing way she'll grow from the experience and I think she'll be quite happy. Then I'd help her build a small house on the land and with a little hard work it will be completed before she starts the fall term college semester. We'd then put it up for sale and with some more good luck it will sell before the end of that fall semester and she'll have earned the funds to pay for her next semester in college.
It’s sadly like if I don’t wanna think about it anymore it doesn’t exist. It’s hard to observe one mantra for a long time then kind of all of a sudden just switch to let’s have a good time. I don’t get it either
@@JohnnyFD Even soldiers are given time off. My dad was a soldier, a Vietnam War Vet. He went on special missions all the time. But the military gives their soldiers some time. He'd leave for a year for some serious activity and then he'd be back, happy to give his family hugs. I remember the first time we met, the dad and I. I was just a baby. We went to the military air strip where his plane landed and he stepped out of the plane with us standing there(I was in a baby carriage) on the pavement with the sun blazing and the wind blowing. I knew immediately he was my dad even though I was so young, a newborn. I thought, wow, my dad is handsome. And he was very handsome. He looked like a super hero to me when I was a baby. I can remember all the way back to when I was born. My dad had been sent on a mission and my mother had me without him being present. He knew she was pregnant when he left and that she'd be giving birth to me without him present. That isn't an uncommon happenstance for soldiers and their wives. Happens quite frequently that the wife has the baby without the spouse present. She being Asian I was initially raised in the manner of an Asian baby while my father was not there. My brothers and I were my dad's therapy: lots of camping, hunting and fishing trips. When he was around my mother and I would bring him his lunch at work as it were. And during those visits at work I'd observe. Female girl asians were to be seen and not heard. So my lips were zipped but my eyes and ears were wide open and aware. Thus I acquired all sorts of information and abilities by as it were osmosis from my dad's lunch time activities which were generally working lunches. In fact my sister-in-law works at a military VA hospital and gives therapy to soldiers of all ranks who need mental health support. There is nothing wrong with getting mental support help. Her patients are so loyal to her that they refuse to give my sister-in-law any time off and require her to be there every single week for their sessions. She doesn't take this responsibility lightly. Now, has my sister-in-law told me anything? Not really. Just as I was as a child I have eyes wide open and ears. Yet, she finds a way to take a 30 day block of time here and there during her career for time off and she goes with maybe 30 people. They go as a group so they get discount flights and discount hotel rates. In fact, they tend to rent the entire hotel wherever they go. Yep, lots of medical professionals in her group. Her vacation is her therapy and also therapy for the entire group of 30 folks taking a breather from the day in and day out mayhem of medical practitioner work. Vacations are good for mental health.
Pretty ignorant for you to say that. Johnny isn’t responsible for the people of Ukraine. He’s supported them tremendously by using his platform for donations and to bring awareness and donated a lot from his own pocket as well. He is a RUclipsr at the end of the day. We watch his videos for entertainment. Stop being so miserable and go do something with your life and or show us what you have done for Ukraine. Keyboard warrior.
It's kind of weird to see Johnny enjoying himself so much and life in general these past few videos haha. If he made more videos like this I guarantee he would get a lot more subscribers. 😅🤙
@@keessonnema I only commented as such because the optics were awkward. On one hand, he's the warrior prince heading a cause, and on the other popping the champagne corks while the war continues to rage.
Johnny your soul is restless; enjoy the beauty of Creation. Take some time to reflect on that. You won't be so bored Those are some cool folks you're hanging with. Perhaps engaging in some existential ideas would help pass the time and you won't be bored
Ukraine is a world away from Thailand where he was a dive instructor for years, but he still chose to live in Ukraine and cares about it. Of course he will go back. Why wouldn’t he. He is only on holiday.
I’ve told you before. I only watch your videos when you leave Ukraine. I know your house and your eating habits in Ukraine, but for me these videos are really cool as a personal friend. Because I know you it’s actually kinda like being there.
Thanks Brandon! I'm glad I was able to "take you along" on vacation with me.
Wow ..everyone had a blast...
The Maldives are in amazing waters...
Johnny you are so loud in the morning haha, you would drive me nuts but this makes great video haha.
I haven't watched any of his videos since the travel to dubai one. Just not my cup of tea and the energy is werid and off in these, but glad you all are enjoying them. Looking forward to seeing the chill everyday videos again.
Same, completely agree, last I saw was complaining about the travel to Poland because there were no flights from Ukraine...
2:40 That is an awesome shot! Looks like SEAL Team 6 infiltrating enemy waters!
Isn’t that David’s girl dancing with baldy at 23:51 ?

I hate to break it to you, but most corals around the world, including Australia have suffered and no longer look the same even 5 years ago. =(
If you know how to sail you could always charter/rent a sailboat.
Find 30 friends to go with you and you will get discounted flight and hotel deals. Travel in a group.
@@shirleynelson1073 Good luck finding 10 friends to get on the same page these days.

Jonny is smart like America. America selling weapons and Jonny selling war videos and enjoying Maldives 😉
I smell a vatnik
Incredible celebration of life Johnny and crew!!
From 19:45, the minute the mankini showed up and that guy pulls down his pants, it was time to end the video. 😢
Wow Johnny fd spending people's donations to Ukraine for his own pleasure
I saved up for this vacation, it's paid for with my own money. Don't worry, the $0 you donated is safe in a separate account.
Any link where we could get some informations about that cruise and booking?
You can book liveaboards here: www.dive-the-world.com/
Liked the video until the Chippendales got on stage😂🤣 great dives, beautiful water
Dang... Now I gotta go on a chocolate milk run! 😂 Looks awesome Johnny!
I like the dance after marriage proposal, but Johnny won’t except it anyway 😂😂😂
Jonny, this is one of your best videos man, loved it 👏 👌 👍
Is this the Nord Stream thankyou crew? Who's Boat? 🤣🤣🤣
You're a large human Johnny
Thank you? 😂
looked like lots of fun. .....not sure about all the Borats on your trip though. lol
25% of Maldives pop are Bangladeshi(over 100 thousand work there).
WOW YOU SURE DO LIVE THE GOOD LIFE I HOPE THIS IS NOT MY MONEY GOING TO UKRAINE !!!!!!
Don't worry, the $0 you donated is in a separate account, this vacation was paid from my savings.
Zelensky needs you Jhonny. He must be having sleepless nights
Outstanding video..well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good times baby..love it

Pure fun!
So much fun Johhny! Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JohnnyFD Thank you Johnny. We did! Jerry's birthday is today. It would mean the world if you could tell him Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 Thanks Julie
But did Johnny score? That other kind of diving?
Sponge Bob square pants goes diving and looking for cheap women ...again
I'd say he's more ovalpants. Women are cheaper in Ukraine though.😆
Good old circlejerk of RUclipsrs going after cheap women. It's weird.
You bought a new drone Johnny ?
No, it's my friend David's drone, but he was kind enough to give me the footage.
Nice idea from you friend. I hope you will get another one by yourself on time! Thanks for your nice reports!
Beautiful
What a blast, have fun. Seriously could have done without the mankini's though. Yuk.
Such a lovely kid, Jackson. I enjoyed your video. Saddens me to see wankers leaving nasty comments re. Ukraine. Enjoy your time with dear friends. I slava ukraini x
Must be nice. How are the people in Ukraine
Why don't you go there and volunteer to find out?

You are safe and the young one is happy. Although you somehow seem to swap one danger for another of a different kind.

Hello Johnny...Could you pls le me know abt Cruise booking details.
You can find details at: www.dive-the-world.com/
@@JohnnyFD Thanks
Spaniards gone wild! Mankinis lol.
Kind of sharks??
Mostly White Tips and Grey Reef Sharks.
I think I'd rather do that than a big disease infested cruise ship. All that seafood looked amazing.
What happened to Ukraine? It feels weird watching this
It’s sadly like if I don’t wanna think about it anymore it doesn’t exist. It’s hard to observe one mantra for a long time then kind of all of a sudden just switch to let’s have a good time. I don’t get it either

Great vistas Johnny....reminds me of the waters off Zanzibar!!
