Safiya!!! My grandfather is one of the scientists that lived in that lodge! I had no idea they had a tribute like this and it’s so cool!! I’m sure he’d be very excited to see that people are doing homage to their work :,)
The fact that Thane's dad was one of the original scientists to live in that was probably the coolest thing about this video. I can't imagine what it was like to watch his dad most likely be so passionate about something to then make him want to follow in his footsteps!! Seriously an amazing video as always, can't wait to see what we get next. :)
I can only imagine this families love for being in the water. To not only follow in your father's footsteps but to commit to transporting people and their things to the room, youd have to really enjoy swimming
@@dentonlister admittedly, my short term memory recollection is not the best and one can never guess when they’ll be one of the most liked comments under something so the exact semantics may be off but I think the important part is 1. you know what I mean and 2. that his dad was someone passionate enough about the water to inspire his son into adulthood. 🤍
I'd love to see this become a series-- it's less of a "look at where I went and what I can afford" and more "look at this place/opportunity and all the people who operate it" which is VERY rare from a travel series and exactly what I want to see!
This definitely wasn't what I imagined when I saw "underwater hotel" and probably not something for me. But I do love how homey and personal the experience seems to be. It's like you're sleeping over your grandparent's house vs staying at an actual hotel.
Not only does this hotel look so fun and chill, but Thane himself seems like such a cool guy. Love how everytime he dropped by, he cheerfully called out "hey guys, room service! 😁"
I really like that you guys picked this place over some luxury underwater hotel. This really felt like an adventure and an experience. I'd love to see more travel videos of you guys visiting unique hotels.
if i could pick ANY influencer to do a travel series like this, it would 10000000% be this channel. Safiya's reviews are SO thorough and useful and thoughtful, she's so good at articulating her experiences, this is PERFECT!!!!
@@sapphis_lazuli to really answer that we’d first have to know what kind of zombies we got. Walking Dead kinda zombies, nah, I don’t think they could get to the lodge. Ones like World War Z or The Last of Us? Maybe, they were much more robust. Hey RUclips someone make that theory video, plz 🤣
Before clicking this video, I definitely expected to see you guys in one of those high-end luxury underwater hotels. I'm pleasantly surprised by how chill and lovely this hotel and their staff are. I especially love the origin story of the hotel. I would loveeee to see this turn into a series, I'm especially interested in all the quirky asian hotels that I always read about online lol.
Safiya as someone who has auditory processing issues you are one of the few RUclipsrs I don’t have to turn the captions on because you enunciate your words well and I appreciate it so much
Hi safiya I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the effort that you put into the captions for your videos, it really melts my heart to be able to watch your videos without having to wear my hearing aid.
I can't get over how much I enjoy Safiya's thoroughness when creating one of her videos. She credits every single person involved without fail and is so informative with every aspect. We love you Safiya!

@@HyTricksyy it was a pretty awesome experience for them. They seemed to really enjoy it. I personally could not stay 24 hours underwater like that without a quick escape lol. But I see the appeal
Especially when it would be even harder to get anything like a laptop, camera, or most other electronics out without taking a lot of time to properly seal them or have to risk ruining all those items.
I love that rather than being super luxury basically wealth porn, this feels like an adventure in cool and interesting things that are kind of attainable. Complete with history and research into it. Deeefinitely would love to see this as a series!
Yes! I like that this is a cool place where I can go with my boyfriend. Being able do something adventurous and learn too!! It sucks when people go to super bougie places and all they do is go shopping or eat at restaurants where you can’t even get a reservation until 2025. -.-
I think I've rewatched this video like, twelve times, no joke. It's got this real-real-good vibe that I can't describe. I think you can really tell Tyler and Safiya are having a total blast, while also being forced to slow down a bit and just enjoy themselves.
Honestly, as a certified scuba diver it's pretty impressive that both of you only had minor troubles getting down and back up, seeing as you had no prior diving experience. Scuba is no joke, but it seems like the staff there is doing everything they can to assist their patrons.
@@Useernaamee don’t forget they’re scuba diving as well + it’s two people. plus being underwater is gonna be more expensive regardless. a proper luxury one would be even more pricey
i like coming back to this video every now and then for the cozy and safe feeling i get from it. something about saf flipping through the little binder of DVDs, the plankton at the window at night, waking up to the yellow-green watery lighting, the room service delivered in a waterproof box. it's like a safe little bubble :)
I love the way Safiya makes travel videos. She's not showing off how much she makes, she's showing off how cool the places are and what happens and when she has a team helping her she tells her audience who they are
Are you trying to say other you-tubers show off how much they make? Cause that's not true, especially for the ones she linked and shown in the video, not true for them at all
Does anyone else love how REAL this channel feels when compared to so many others? Like…Safiya and Tyler are just in a league of their own when it comes to content creation. Plus Saf is soooo pretty!
I like how they appreciate their team and do not create an illusion they work on they own on the videos (although they absolutely work really hard, of course) 👏
As someone whose family visited Key Largo yearly growing up, this made my day! This vibe is really true for the whole island - nice people, good food and lots of weird fun places. I always wanted to go to the underwater hotel so I’m glad to see what it was actually like!
I would love to see this become a new series. One thing I really appreciated about Safiya's video is that, aside from being so in-depth in terms of reviewing the space, she really made sure to incorporate and humanize the people who actually operate the facility. I loved seeing them and I loved seeing how *happy* they are to be working in such a niche industry.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
I'm very claustrophobic, so this kind of thing scares the heck out of me, but it also seems so fun. A lot of people here seem so chill, and the history is cool. I'm glad this place isn't just some giant resource eating place and seems to be just one room and it just, seems nice in that regard. I really love fish though and, although it's sad that you all didn't get to see many, its amazing just how close you get to be to them.
I feel like Saf and Tyler saying “underwater” before a normal thing (ie underwater babyback ribs, underwear skincare routine) has the same energy as that episode of SpongeBob where they stay open 24 hours and SpongeBob keeps saying what he was doing and adding “at night” afterwards.
I'm surprised they didn't make a joke about the whole "no sharks in the lagoon" being wrong with Sharky in the water lol Greatly looking forward to this as a series! :D
If they keep up this series it would be a great dynamic of safiya and Tyler’s humor plus awkwardness of the situation. And if we get more “uncovering more of safiyas and Tyler’s relationship” that would be great. Overall this series would be very enjoyable
It's definitely more secure than the other higher end underwater hotels 😁. As another commentor said "who's gonna scuba down there to rob you?" lol 😂. Though for me personally I couldn't do it, and would rather stay at an underwater hotel room I can get to from above ground 😅💦.
thanks for giving the context of the history-- it would make sense for the scientists to stay overnight underwater rather than dive and re-surface 100ft every single day! fascinating stuff. also explains why it's so utilitarian and not aesthetic-driven-- but in this case I would trust a place like this far more than a boutique fancy all-glass thing.

Dude safiya is like the comfort youtuber ever. Like i can't imagine life without these videos. They bring so much comfort to me, especially when im anxious and/or sick which happens a lot. Thank you for existing Safiya
I love her giving credit to each clip. Most don't even put it in the description. These are beautiful places and I'm excited to watch. I'm not a traveler but I can live vicariously through y'all.
@@TheChristianFangirl Yes!!! Saf is actually the one who inspired me to start a RUclips channel 💕 my first custom doll was based on her, I need to redo her now I have learned so much 😊
Oooh, there's an ice hotel (made of ice) that would be super cool (ha ha) for you to check out when international travel happens more again. It's in Sweden!
I love how these 2 have millions of subscribers and have been doing videos for years, yet they are still down to earth and non-pretentious.. Also, Thane steals the show here. What a chill, decent guy!
saf, ive truly never ever needed a series more than this odd hotel series. i feel like you're the only person on youtube who could do it justice either your incredible review style and amazing video editing, please please make this a series!!
Saf is the perfect balance of awkward, self-assured, well versed and quirky. My favorite kind of travel host! Tyler seems just like the guy version of her 😆

As a person with severe anxiety and agoraphobia I am extremely grateful that you share your travel experiences with us! ❤️ Your videos are always so entertaining and calming. Best wishes to you and Ty!
@@RoyalCookieYT It's a serious fear of leaving the house or any perceived "safe" area. The medical articles you'll find online mostly say it is a fear of having a panic attack in a place with no escape, but my personal situation has other anxieties that differ from just that one fear. I dread being outside my house because I fear getting brutally injured or assaulted. My anxiety has been compounded by ptsd from a car accident. I hope that explained it well! It would be terrifying for me to actually stay trapped in a room underwater, but it was fun to experience through this video.
@@julietteferrars3097if it helps to know you’re not alone, i’m extremely agoraphobic too, but more for health anxiety reasons. it’s pretty tmi so i’ll try to keep it, not descriptive. but i had a stomach bug about a year and a half ago and that made, toilet trips fun shall we say. since then i’ve had a stupidly strong fear whenever i then get dodgy poops (lol sorry), and i’m forever terrified of it happening in public, even more so if i don’t have a toilet in reach. so apart from doctors visits so they can track my weight (as anxiety also ruins my appetite), i’ve left the house about once or twice in the last year. sorry to make it about me, i just find it comforts me knowing people are in the same situation, so i thought it may help you too. i hope you get your service dog ❤
"Is this the Key Largo version of a dumpster cat? A dumpster iguana?" Yes! Fun fact: In the more northern areas of Florida where the iguanas live (they're not a native species), it can become so cold to them that they go catatonic and fall out of trees, where they hit people on the head on accident.
As a scuba diver the nice slow assent after really calmed my nerves and the no fly advice was good. I know 20ft (6.1m) doesn’t seem deep but we normally do our decompretion/safety stop at 6m so you could definitely have degassing issue if you stayed for longer and came up really fast. However there is a chamber in the Florida key so if you did somehow get the bends you would be close to a place that can help and the doctors there should be familiar with bend related problems.
I stayed there in about 1995 using hooka lines (surface supplied air). Love that the tables are still the same. We watched Water World, but think it might have been VHS. Night excursion into the lagoon was the best and we saw sea horses! So glad you are giving this great place exposure. Definitely checked one off my bucket list here.
I think I'm pretty much on the same wavelength as a lot of the comments here: I liked this video because it wasn't some luxury getaway. Instead it's a generally quirky location that anyone could theoretically afford. If you enjoy making these videos, I think everyone here would love to see more of them!!
I really hope this becomes a series!!! I watched this and went back to Tyler's old video of them staying in a capsule hotel in Japan. Id watch them go anywhere and do anything!
I love the vibes of Thane and the rest of the staff here and honestly think generally the people Saf works with in these kinds of videos are always so fun! I was just rewatching the Boba Shop and Candy Making video recently and the people who helped her all seemed so genuine! I'm assuming these places put some thinking into who they have in these videos (who is comfortable in front of a camera etc) but I'm also just happy you guys always get to work with fun people at every place you try :)
Tyler definitely wins the cheesy joke award with "we came, we saw, they thrusted," that was pretty good. actually laughed legitimately out loud for that one.
This whole idea is so fascinating and feels like a sci-fi movie! As much as I love the idea I’d enjoy going there but would be absolutely terrified to stay there
I had a mini heart attack when i saw the overnight price was $2500 ! Granted, the work required to keep this going must be crazy, but i didn't expect it to be this much! :O
I thought so to but then I seen the Guy had to stay in control room whole time and dive tons of times to get all their stuff down there bit by bit. Also, Scuba gear used. Air supply for whole time they down there. Maintenance for a full underwater hotel room that everything must be scuba'd down with. It seems like a reasonable price for the experience definitely could charge more and many ppl who could afford would still pay to go.
@@jmr4867 So awesome. The amount of trips they made with their items/food, answering that phone immediately and taking them scuba-ing around to see fish before heading up. They also look just like their dad lol..I thought it was them in the video of it being made but yeah they too young for it to be them haha
This is so cool, i just need to give you guys a tip for a really cool hotel here in Northern Sweden, It's called Granö Beckasin, and it's little treehouses they call birdnests. It's situated in a group of trees just by the river and it's really a beautiful place just like... a 40 min drive from Umeå, the city I'm from. ^^ Unless you want to do the traditional thing and visit the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, everything is built with snow and ice, even the bar and beds.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! More hotels please. Also appreciate you shouting out your crew. I think it adds to real life adventures when people don’t pretend it’s just them and actually interact with their crew 💕
Yeah, I know some very professional blogs that pretend they made the whole program, special effects and all, by themselves...Every week! A whole, big budget production weekly! ( By one woman.)
A cool video idea would be going to a mermaid school! They’ll teach you how to swim in a mermaid tail, how to do tricks, etc. Performing at an event in the end would be awesome! The undersea scenery made me think of it😂
omg that's where I got my scuba training! I'm pretty sure Lana and Sharky were the ones to give me the lessons. They were both absolutely amazing people to have as teachers. I never got to go into the hotel, but I was able to swim on top of it with the fish! I'm glad you two were both able to experience the place!
Safiya and Tyler are always awesome, but honestly, I'd have loved to follow the photographers on this trip. The logistics of filming through the portholes, where they were staying, how often they came down to film - just how they were able to film everything we saw
I desperately hope this becomes a regular series, I love interesting/unusual hotels and this scratches a need I've had for this kind of content for a long time!!!
I can’t say that I’m interested in staying here but, I hope it stays in business. It’s a really cool piece of history and I think Thane’s dad would be proud.
I'm about 8 minutes in and as a scuba certified mermaid this made me very happy and nervous for y'all. I've been diving for 2 years now and I struggle with clearing my ears some times too. Usually you can take a decongestant like Advil cold and sinus about and hour and then a half hour before you dive and it helps. Hope y'all loved your first taste in the mermaid/mer man world would be fun to see more content on my favorite hobby form my favorite RUclipsrs 🖤🤙🧜♀️
The equalizing situation is the only reason I haven't pursued scuba or free-diving more yet! I have scar tissue on an ear drum that blew out in high school & worry about doing that again. 😫 As a newbie mermaid it's a dream though!
@@SusanJERitta I used to dive a lot and am certified but ever since losing my hearing and getting vestibular migraines I have been hesitant so I understand exactly what you mean
Scuba certified mermaid!!! That’s so cool. The thought of scuba diving has always terrified me so I don’t think I’ll be partaking anytime soon. But in theory it looks awesome.
This should be a series, like pleaseeeee Also as someone who’s terrified of the underwater world, this hotel basically is my biggest nightmare but it does seem like a cool experience
I’ve been scuba licensed sense I was 10 (19 now) I still have a hard time with my ears sometimes. But I’m happy the workers were very patient and thorough with explaining. ESPECIALLY with the signs. My family knows some basic ASL in order to communicate under the water (we have also been learning more slowly and I’m enrolled into an ASL class this coming semester) I really wanna go to this hotel now, it seems so cool!
I’ve been diving for a few years now and had so much trouble equalizing. I bought these special dive ear plugs that help distribute the pressure and I swear by them! If you still have trouble I’d highly recommend them! You’d find them by googling vented earplugs diving
I guess it cost a lot to keep that place running. I mean, you're paying for a scuba lesson, people to swim food and luggage to your hotel and everything that keeps that place "a float." So as long as you can afford at least one night, it looks like a lot of fun 😊
And to add to the apex predator fears, Tyler brings up the fact that it's theoretically possible an alligator could mosey on in through the entrance hatch! 😳 I hadn't even thought of that until he mentioned it 🤔😆
@@krisfinley6706 I commented before it got to that part and when it did I instantly I said to myself “Oh that would’ve sent me and my anxiety spiraling” 🫠😂
Fun fact, sharks don't deliberately attack humans and they actually don't like the taste. The reason why they bite people occasionally is due to their poor eyesight, they may mistake people for food since they aren't able to see them properly

If you go to the airplane hotel in Sweden, I would really like to recommend you to also go basically as far north as you can in Sweden, to the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi. It's a hotel made entirely out of ice, and is rebuilt every year. :D
It is really cool. I've never been, but I know that they also fill it with ice sculptures and such, so it's full of art. I also believe that it is the oldest and biggest ice hotel in the world. + It's faaaar north, so there's northern lights!
My dad was a scuba diver and I can't imagine just sending people down who've never done it before. 😅 I'm glad you guys made it out okay! This looks fun. Edit: to be clear, this wasn't a criticism of Safiya or Tyler! I love the videos and I can't wait to see what hotel you go to next.
So I love this and I really hope it becomes a series! But as an experienced diver, I do want to clarify- you can certainly get diving injuries in only 20 ft of water. Both decompression illness and lung over expansion injuries. Pressure increases logarithmically with depth so the greatest change in pressure actually takes place during the first 30 feet below sea level. And even though you’re not still breathing from a scuba tank while in the hotel, you are breathing air at depth, or at increased pressure. And you’re doing that for a long time- a full 24 hours. Whenever you breathe air at depth, your body absorbs more nitrogen. You do absorb a larger quantity of nitrogen gas in less time at greater depths, but the 24 hour period means there’s still a considerable amount of nitrogen in your systems. The only way I could think that this wouldn’t be the case would be if there was enriched air being pumped into the habitat…All that being said, it seems like the team of experts working there took perfect care of you and kept you safe! But for the sake of other new folks getting into diving, I just wanted to clarify: shallow depth does not necessarily mean less risk when diving.
Thank you so much for commenting this. As a scuba diver myself there were immediate alarm bells when she said that. Exactly as you said, the greatest pressure change is in the first 30 feet, and you can actually get dive injuries in as little as 4 feet of water. Shallower depths doesn't mean there are no risks.
I thought there's no risk in swimming out of there without gear? But this comment made me curious. I have been underwater at depths like this without breathing equipment when I was younger and swimming was my almost everyday sport. I have a little bit 'diving with gear' experience, as in: I've been on a handful of guided tours on holidays. Diving with gear was cool because I could stay under for a long time. But it was super slow for safety reasons and sometimes it still hurt my ears. I never had that pain without diving equipment. Is there a reason and if so, is what Safiya meant that it's safe to swim out without equipment? Because I know I would do it without hesitation. I'm just not sure it's smart anymore after reading this ☺
I love how much Safiya and Tyler make each other laugh, it makes my day every time I watch them I’m so excited that I get to watch this video on the day it comes out for once!
Pls make it a series!! Your videos are always so creative, fun and well produced. I always watch you to relieve stress you guys seem so genuine it actually feels like I'm there experiencing it everything with you 🥰
I really hope you make this a series! I love the vibe, how adventurous and casual it feels rather than "look at me, I'm so wealthy and can stay in wild places"! Plus I love learning about the history of these strange places and all the wonderful people it takes to keep them open and functional. This video was rad!
This was so *INCREDIBLE* to watch! Like fulfilling my travel dreams without traveling! I have no money to and a sick mother to care for so I don't do anything fun. I really hope you guys do so much more because you guys are so thorough with your tours it feels like I'm actually there! Thank you Saf and Tyler!
Same here! Zero time/opportunity to go, but enjoying the view through the channel! Hope you mom feels better, or that you can have a peaceful time together :)
Frs my anxiety would convince me that either the window would break and let water in or that a shark would apear and try to get me there the window lol

I didn't realize how much underwater experiences makes me claustrophobic until I was uncomfortably on edge every second of this video.. but i made it til the end of the video! interesting.. waiting for your next adventure
Tyler is so good at filming and Safiya is so eloquent she also gets prettier with every video, i love how organic her jokes and how they leave it on the final video even if it doesn't cause full burst of laughter and i also love how there isn't an excess of overly dramatic shots or scenes its just that they are charming and the quality of picture, script, subject, etc is what makes you watch the whole video and even rewind it or rewatch it to not loose a thing.
After watching the Vegas hotel review videos, having random and badass hotel reviews from you and Tyler would be perfect. I know there will always be an honest review from y’all.
There are so many odd hotels. It follows in line with your Japanese capsule hotel adventure. Sounds like it would be so much fun. I love the merman burlesque show idea. Might have to check that one out in person.

love your vids!
Heyyyy
I would love to! Thnaks for posting more ^^
@@ventilatedarea.2363 hiiii
Honestly a series of Odd hotels just sounds so fitting for this channel. I would love that.
Yessss 🤩
Trixie motel!
I’d be here for that!
We have a snow hotel in Finland!
true
Wasn’t expecting ‘college dorm inside a nuclear bunker’ to be the underwater hotel aesthetic. Love it.
Especially for the price of $2,585 dollars a night for two people! Expensive, in my opinion.
To me it looked more like a ship, including the complex toilet that needs to be operated correctly to not flood the boat.

This is the coolest comment ever 😱

that is so cool
Omg i hope she sees this comment
So they likely knew Thane's dad?!?
The crew who run that place seem so nice and it's cool that it has family history.
The fact that Thane's dad was one of the original scientists to live in that was probably the coolest thing about this video. I can't imagine what it was like to watch his dad most likely be so passionate about something to then make him want to follow in his footsteps!! Seriously an amazing video as always, can't wait to see what we get next. :)
I can only imagine this families love for being in the water. To not only follow in your father's footsteps but to commit to transporting people and their things to the room, youd have to really enjoy swimming
thane looks just like his dad too!!
Loved the family connection! It definitely made it more special
wasn't his dad one of the people who built it, not one of the scientists?
@@dentonlister admittedly, my short term memory recollection is not the best and one can never guess when they’ll be one of the most liked comments under something so the exact semantics may be off but I think the important part is 1. you know what I mean and 2. that his dad was someone passionate enough about the water to inspire his son into adulthood. 🤍
I'd love to see this become a series-- it's less of a "look at where I went and what I can afford" and more "look at this place/opportunity and all the people who operate it" which is VERY rare from a travel series and exactly what I want to see!
You make a good point
Yes! I love that Saf and Ty really highlighted the people working there
Exactly!
So cool right!
This. I especially loved seeing shots of Thane's dad. If they do more travel videos, I would love info on the people who run the places.
This definitely wasn't what I imagined when I saw "underwater hotel" and probably not something for me. But I do love how homey and personal the experience seems to be. It's like you're sleeping over your grandparent's house vs staying at an actual hotel.

It DOES seem like staying at a grandparents!!
@@yo_its_ash2012 yeah
Thane seems so sweet though! He didn’t mind to swim down and give them anything they needed. Not one complaint. He just did it. What a nice dude.
its his job they paid $2585 for one night
When you earn $1600 a day 😅
They did pay $2,500 a night tho lol. I would hope they would do that. Especially when it's just one set of guests a night

i love thane
@@mncatlntno it’s the best
I really like that you guys picked this place over some luxury underwater hotel. This really felt like an adventure and an experience. I'd love to see more travel videos of you guys visiting unique hotels.
Exactly what I was gonna say! This is cooler to watch
This was over $2000 for one night. What do luxury ones cost?
It’s still definitely expensive lol but it feels a lot more authentic than those other hotels
As someone with claustrophobia I'd be a nightmare to vacation with here.
@@SaintShion Same. NO WAY would I do this

this is so true and i didnt even notice
And if you do need captions, they're superb! They're also perfect and perfectly timed.
Holy shit, you're right! I didn't even realize that I never had to rewatch a part due to not being able to understand someone!

Hi safiya I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the effort that you put into the captions for your videos, it really melts my heart to be able to watch your videos without having to wear my hearing aid.
I can't get over how much I enjoy Safiya's thoroughness when creating one of her videos. She credits every single person involved without fail and is so informative with every aspect. We love you Safiya!

@@HyTricksyy it was a pretty awesome experience for them. They seemed to really enjoy it. I personally could not stay 24 hours underwater like that without a quick escape lol. But I see the appeal
Gotta say, that this is likely the most secure hotel you could find. Like who's going to scuba just to rob a rather small non luxury hotel
Especially when it would be even harder to get anything like a laptop, camera, or most other electronics out without taking a lot of time to properly seal them or have to risk ruining all those items.
Scooby Doo villain?
And the only entrance and exit is on camera
I meannn, it’s $3k/night. Even though it doesn’t look luxury, it definitely is a luxury to stay there.

i mean its over a grand a night
@@rubyb666 you get her point though
@@rubyb666 yeah a grand a night for a whole experience, not just a normal hotel that’s nice to look at
I think I've rewatched this video like, twelve times, no joke. It's got this real-real-good vibe that I can't describe. I think you can really tell Tyler and Safiya are having a total blast, while also being forced to slow down a bit and just enjoy themselves.
Honestly, as a certified scuba diver it's pretty impressive that both of you only had minor troubles getting down and back up, seeing as you had no prior diving experience. Scuba is no joke, but it seems like the staff there is doing everything they can to assist their patrons.

@@tadbitsketch i think there is a hotel shaped like a potato
i like coming back to this video every now and then for the cozy and safe feeling i get from it. something about saf flipping through the little binder of DVDs, the plankton at the window at night, waking up to the yellow-green watery lighting, the room service delivered in a waterproof box. it's like a safe little bubble :)
i love that both safiya and tyler find each other to be the funniest people ever it’s the cutest thing
Yup, they're like #couplegoals
I love how many couple channels on here are such cute couple goals and "straights being OK" content. Almost as cute as my mum and dad, lol.
I love the way Safiya makes travel videos. She's not showing off how much she makes, she's showing off how cool the places are and what happens and when she has a team helping her she tells her audience who they are
yea, it's not like bragging rights " omg this place was $1,000,000,000" it's more educational and you learn a lot about these niche hotels :)

Are you trying to say other you-tubers show off how much they make? Cause that's not true, especially for the ones she linked and shown in the video, not true for them at all
Does anyone else love how REAL this channel feels when compared to so many others? Like…Safiya and Tyler are just in a league of their own when it comes to content creation. Plus Saf is soooo pretty!
i had no idea tyler made content. safiya provides all the entertainment i ever need lol
I like how they appreciate their team and do not create an illusion they work on they own on the videos (although they absolutely work really hard, of course) 👏

As someone whose family visited Key Largo yearly growing up, this made my day! This vibe is really true for the whole island - nice people, good food and lots of weird fun places. I always wanted to go to the underwater hotel so I’m glad to see what it was actually like!
I would love to see this become a new series. One thing I really appreciated about Safiya's video is that, aside from being so in-depth in terms of reviewing the space, she really made sure to incorporate and humanize the people who actually operate the facility. I loved seeing them and I loved seeing how *happy* they are to be working in such a niche industry.

Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Agreed!
Eating ribs in curious hotels series👍
Agreed!!!💜💖💜
I'm very claustrophobic, so this kind of thing scares the heck out of me, but it also seems so fun. A lot of people here seem so chill, and the history is cool. I'm glad this place isn't just some giant resource eating place and seems to be just one room and it just, seems nice in that regard. I really love fish though and, although it's sad that you all didn't get to see many, its amazing just how close you get to be to them.
Thane seems like a very comforting presence. Even just watching I was feeling a bit trapped, but when Thane showed up, I felt a lot calmer.
I feel like Saf and Tyler saying “underwater” before a normal thing (ie underwater babyback ribs, underwear skincare routine) has the same energy as that episode of SpongeBob where they stay open 24 hours and SpongeBob keeps saying what he was doing and adding “at night” afterwards.
They had underwear skincare!? Lol jk
I'm surprised they didn't make a joke about the whole "no sharks in the lagoon" being wrong with Sharky in the water lol Greatly looking forward to this as a series! :D
If they keep up this series it would be a great dynamic of safiya and Tyler’s humor plus awkwardness of the situation. And if we get more “uncovering more of safiyas and Tyler’s relationship” that would be great. Overall this series would be very enjoyable
You absolutely HAVE TO visit Finland in winter, one of the ice hotels / glass igloos where you will see the northern lights! :)
That's my dream 🥺
Oh yah! Definitly
Or northern Norway 🤷🏻♀️ but we don’t have Santa Claus town 😢
Yes or come up here to northern 🇨🇦. Go up to the 🇨🇦 Northwest Territories or Nunavut or Yukon; but not in the mid summer where it is light 24/7
Yes!!
This is honestly more fascinating and fun than those high end underwater hotels
It's definitely more secure than the other higher end underwater hotels 😁. As another commentor said "who's gonna scuba down there to rob you?" lol 😂.
Though for me personally I couldn't do it, and would rather stay at an underwater hotel room I can get to from above ground 😅💦.
thanks for giving the context of the history-- it would make sense for the scientists to stay overnight underwater rather than dive and re-surface 100ft every single day! fascinating stuff. also explains why it's so utilitarian and not aesthetic-driven-- but in this case I would trust a place like this far more than a boutique fancy all-glass thing.
yea the history made it so much cooler! love that it was originally for research purposes and that thane's dad worked on it
Yeah I loved learning the history about it!

As a person with severe anxiety and agoraphobia I am extremely grateful that you share your travel experiences with us! ❤️ Your videos are always so entertaining and calming. Best wishes to you and Ty!
What is agoraphobia if you don’t mind?
@@RoyalCookieYT It's a serious fear of leaving the house or any perceived "safe" area. The medical articles you'll find online mostly say it is a fear of having a panic attack in a place with no escape, but my personal situation has other anxieties that differ from just that one fear. I dread being outside my house because I fear getting brutally injured or assaulted. My anxiety has been compounded by ptsd from a car accident. I hope that explained it well! It would be terrifying for me to actually stay trapped in a room underwater, but it was fun to experience through this video.
@@julietteferrars3097 I’m so sorry! That sounds awful!
@@RoyalCookieYT You're so sweet! Thank you. ❤ I'm hoping to get a service dog someday to help me go out on my own.
@@julietteferrars3097if it helps to know you’re not alone, i’m extremely agoraphobic too, but more for health anxiety reasons.
it’s pretty tmi so i’ll try to keep it, not descriptive.
but i had a stomach bug about a year and a half ago and that made, toilet trips fun shall we say.
since then i’ve had a stupidly strong fear whenever i then get dodgy poops (lol sorry), and i’m forever terrified of it happening in public, even more so if i don’t have a toilet in reach. so apart from doctors visits so they can track my weight (as anxiety also ruins my appetite), i’ve left the house about once or twice in the last year.
sorry to make it about me, i just find it comforts me knowing people are in the same situation, so i thought it may help you too. i hope you get your service dog ❤
"Is this the Key Largo version of a dumpster cat? A dumpster iguana?"
Yes!
Fun fact: In the more northern areas of Florida where the iguanas live (they're not a native species), it can become so cold to them that they go catatonic and fall out of trees, where they hit people on the head on accident.
yeah we call them drop iguanas up here
@@idontreallycareataxe So less vicious than drop bears then?

@@Lady_Zelda We had seen the very occasional one here in Kissimmee/Orlando but yes, they hate the cold.
poor iguanas!
I love how genuinely excited Tyler was to hang out with Thane
As a scuba diver the nice slow assent after really calmed my nerves and the no fly advice was good. I know 20ft (6.1m) doesn’t seem deep but we normally do our decompretion/safety stop at 6m so you could definitely have degassing issue if you stayed for longer and came up really fast. However there is a chamber in the Florida key so if you did somehow get the bends you would be close to a place that can help and the doctors there should be familiar with bend related problems.
I stayed there in about 1995 using hooka lines (surface supplied air). Love that the tables are still the same. We watched Water World, but think it might have been VHS. Night excursion into the lagoon was the best and we saw sea horses! So glad you are giving this great place exposure. Definitely checked one off my bucket list here.
I think I'm pretty much on the same wavelength as a lot of the comments here: I liked this video because it wasn't some luxury getaway. Instead it's a generally quirky location that anyone could theoretically afford. If you enjoy making these videos, I think everyone here would love to see more of them!!
But one night cost 2600$ though, not very affordable imo 👀

I love the vibes of Thane and the rest of the staff here and honestly think generally the people Saf works with in these kinds of videos are always so fun! I was just rewatching the Boba Shop and Candy Making video recently and the people who helped her all seemed so genuine! I'm assuming these places put some thinking into who they have in these videos (who is comfortable in front of a camera etc) but I'm also just happy you guys always get to work with fun people at every place you try :)
Tyler definitely wins the cheesy joke award with "we came, we saw, they thrusted," that was pretty good. actually laughed legitimately out loud for that one.
This whole idea is so fascinating and feels like a sci-fi movie! As much as I love the idea I’d enjoy going there but would be absolutely terrified to stay there
I had a mini heart attack when i saw the overnight price was $2500 ! Granted, the work required to keep this going must be crazy, but i didn't expect it to be this much! :O
I thought so to but then I seen the Guy had to stay in control room whole time and dive tons of times to get all their stuff down there bit by bit. Also, Scuba gear used. Air supply for whole time they down there. Maintenance for a full underwater hotel room that everything must be scuba'd down with.
It seems like a reasonable price for the experience definitely could charge more and many ppl who could afford would still pay to go.
But they also give you a scooba lessons

This is so cool, i just need to give you guys a tip for a really cool hotel here in Northern Sweden, It's called Granö Beckasin, and it's little treehouses they call birdnests. It's situated in a group of trees just by the river and it's really a beautiful place just like... a 40 min drive from Umeå, the city I'm from. ^^ Unless you want to do the traditional thing and visit the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, everything is built with snow and ice, even the bar and beds.
Um, yes! I vote for this! Please!
Ooo I saw them on a show called Treehouse Masters. They are cute
I just want to acknowledge how kind and thoughtful Thames is. What a gem.
Do you mean Thane?
Saf and Tyler going ":0 he's so cool.." about Thane is hilarious, i love it
Thoroughly enjoyed this! More hotels please. Also appreciate you shouting out your crew. I think it adds to real life adventures when people don’t pretend it’s just them and actually interact with their crew 💕
Yeah, I know some very professional blogs that pretend they made the whole program, special effects and all, by themselves...Every week! A whole, big budget production weekly! ( By one woman.)
Same! Well said!
A cool video idea would be going to a mermaid school! They’ll teach you how to swim in a mermaid tail, how to do tricks, etc. Performing at an event in the end would be awesome! The undersea scenery made me think of it😂
They’d make great mer-people!
Omg yessss
yes to this!
omg that's where I got my scuba training! I'm pretty sure Lana and Sharky were the ones to give me the lessons. They were both absolutely amazing people to have as teachers. I never got to go into the hotel, but I was able to swim on top of it with the fish! I'm glad you two were both able to experience the place!
That's so cool! I got scuba qualified there too, Jonathan was my teacher.
Someone named sharky taught you swimming,, THATS SO PERFECT
I love this hotel. It has such a nostalgic vibe. It reminds me of taking a beach vacation in the late 90s/early 2000s. So lovely.
Safiya and Tyler are always awesome, but honestly, I'd have loved to follow the photographers on this trip. The logistics of filming through the portholes, where they were staying, how often they came down to film - just how they were able to film everything we saw
thats j
I desperately hope this becomes a regular series, I love interesting/unusual hotels and this scratches a need I've had for this kind of content for a long time!!!
I can’t say that I’m interested in staying here but, I hope it stays in business. It’s a really cool piece of history and I think Thane’s dad would be proud.
I like this series! Also, the way you guys treated the staff at this hotel was kind and friendly unlike most influencers. That is so awesome!
I'm about 8 minutes in and as a scuba certified mermaid this made me very happy and nervous for y'all. I've been diving for 2 years now and I struggle with clearing my ears some times too. Usually you can take a decongestant like Advil cold and sinus about and hour and then a half hour before you dive and it helps. Hope y'all loved your first taste in the mermaid/mer man world would be fun to see more content on my favorite hobby form my favorite RUclipsrs 🖤🤙🧜♀️
The equalizing situation is the only reason I haven't pursued scuba or free-diving more yet! I have scar tissue on an ear drum that blew out in high school & worry about doing that again. 😫 As a newbie mermaid it's a dream though!
@@SusanJERitta I used to dive a lot and am certified but ever since losing my hearing and getting vestibular migraines I have been hesitant so I understand exactly what you mean
Scuba certified mermaid!!! That’s so cool. The thought of scuba diving has always terrified me so I don’t think I’ll be partaking anytime soon. But in theory it looks awesome.
This should be a series, like pleaseeeee
Also as someone who’s terrified of the underwater world, this hotel basically is my biggest nightmare but it does seem like a cool experience
pls same, i got to nervous during the underwater shots, and I'm just claustrophobic as well lol, but it looks soo cool!! :)
I’ve been scuba licensed sense I was 10 (19 now) I still have a hard time with my ears sometimes. But I’m happy the workers were very patient and thorough with explaining. ESPECIALLY with the signs. My family knows some basic ASL in order to communicate under the water (we have also been learning more slowly and I’m enrolled into an ASL class this coming semester) I really wanna go to this hotel now, it seems so cool!
wow that all sounds so cool!!!
I’ve been diving for a few years now and had so much trouble equalizing. I bought these special dive ear plugs that help distribute the pressure and I swear by them! If you still have trouble I’d highly recommend them! You’d find them by googling vented earplugs diving
ruclips.net/video/--ky6xn5I4I/видео.html vlog !!
the trivia on the hotel and how Thane’s dad was involved was SO COOL !!!
I guess it cost a lot to keep that place running. I mean, you're paying for a scuba lesson, people to swim food and luggage to your hotel and everything that keeps that place "a float." So as long as you can afford at least one night, it looks like a lot of fun 😊
I know and also the gear and tanks they use up just to consistenly bring food 3x a day
It’s crazy expensive but I know it’s worth it!!
Live life to the fullest ❤️🔥
Yes, without any explanation you can tell this takes a LOT of work to keep running, respect.
Tyler: “Sharks are a valid phobia, and I’m experiencing that a little” Saf: “Yes. Also here’s a scary shark fact to make that a little more intense” 😂
And to add to the apex predator fears, Tyler brings up the fact that it's theoretically possible an alligator could mosey on in through the entrance hatch! 😳 I hadn't even thought of that until he mentioned it 🤔😆
@@krisfinley6706 I commented before it got to that part and when it did I instantly I said to myself “Oh that would’ve sent me and my anxiety spiraling” 🫠😂
Then he get matched with a guy called Sharky
Fun fact, sharks don't deliberately attack humans and they actually don't like the taste. The reason why they bite people occasionally is due to their poor eyesight, they may mistake people for food since they aren't able to see them properly

If you go to the airplane hotel in Sweden, I would really like to recommend you to also go basically as far north as you can in Sweden, to the ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi. It's a hotel made entirely out of ice, and is rebuilt every year. :D
THATS SO COOL
We have this too here in Québec Canada 😁 !
That’s awesome
ONG THAT SOUNDS SO COOL
It is really cool. I've never been, but I know that they also fill it with ice sculptures and such, so it's full of art. I also believe that it is the oldest and biggest ice hotel in the world. + It's faaaar north, so there's northern lights!
16:56 "Ooh! Thanks Thane- Can I have a fry?"
Favorite line in this whole video 💀
My dad was a scuba diver and I can't imagine just sending people down who've never done it before. 😅 I'm glad you guys made it out okay! This looks fun.
Edit: to be clear, this wasn't a criticism of Safiya or Tyler! I love the videos and I can't wait to see what hotel you go to next.
is it dangerous?
@@minnowprinc_ yeah, you can get sick or die if something goes wrong or you make a mistake.
So I love this and I really hope it becomes a series! But as an experienced diver, I do want to clarify- you can certainly get diving injuries in only 20 ft of water. Both decompression illness and lung over expansion injuries. Pressure increases logarithmically with depth so the greatest change in pressure actually takes place during the first 30 feet below sea level. And even though you’re not still breathing from a scuba tank while in the hotel, you are breathing air at depth, or at increased pressure. And you’re doing that for a long time- a full 24 hours. Whenever you breathe air at depth, your body absorbs more nitrogen. You do absorb a larger quantity of nitrogen gas in less time at greater depths, but the 24 hour period means there’s still a considerable amount of nitrogen in your systems. The only way I could think that this wouldn’t be the case would be if there was enriched air being pumped into the habitat…All that being said, it seems like the team of experts working there took perfect care of you and kept you safe!
But for the sake of other new folks getting into diving, I just wanted to clarify: shallow depth does not necessarily mean less risk when diving.
Absolutely true. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much for commenting this. As a scuba diver myself there were immediate alarm bells when she said that. Exactly as you said, the greatest pressure change is in the first 30 feet, and you can actually get dive injuries in as little as 4 feet of water. Shallower depths doesn't mean there are no risks.
So glad to find others here willing to mention this also!
Thanks Abbey that was enlightening!
I thought there's no risk in swimming out of there without gear? But this comment made me curious. I have been underwater at depths like this without breathing equipment when I was younger and swimming was my almost everyday sport. I have a little bit 'diving with gear' experience, as in: I've been on a handful of guided tours on holidays. Diving with gear was cool because I could stay under for a long time. But it was super slow for safety reasons and sometimes it still hurt my ears. I never had that pain without diving equipment. Is there a reason and if so, is what Safiya meant that it's safe to swim out without equipment? Because I know I would do it without hesitation. I'm just not sure it's smart anymore after reading this ☺
I love how much Safiya and Tyler make each other laugh, it makes my day every time I watch them
I’m so excited that I get to watch this video on the day it comes out for once!
Yeah and Tyler telling their third date story. Very cute.
Pls make it a series!! Your videos are always so creative, fun and well produced. I always watch you to relieve stress you guys seem so genuine it actually feels like I'm there experiencing it everything with you 🥰
I went scuba diving to get married so we had a legit underwater wedding! This hotel would’ve been a cool honeymoon!
That sounds so cool!
@@tadbitsketch it was magical!
I really hope you make this a series! I love the vibe, how adventurous and casual it feels rather than "look at me, I'm so wealthy and can stay in wild places"! Plus I love learning about the history of these strange places and all the wonderful people it takes to keep them open and functional. This video was rad!
This was so *INCREDIBLE* to watch! Like fulfilling my travel dreams without traveling! I have no money to and a sick mother to care for so I don't do anything fun. I really hope you guys do so much more because you guys are so thorough with your tours it feels like I'm actually there! Thank you Saf and Tyler!
Same here! Zero time/opportunity to go, but enjoying the view through the channel! Hope you mom feels better, or that you can have a peaceful time together :)
@@andaartanddesign9516 thank you so much :)
Yeah so true ! I feel like i'm the one that stayed 24 hours there. Hope you're mother gets well ❤️
This video hits different post oceangate 😬
ACTUALLY THO
That seems like both an amazing and TERRIFYING experience.
Frs my anxiety would convince me that either the window would break and let water in or that a shark would apear and try to get me there the window lol
RUclips really needs to crack down on the spam comments.

I didn't realize how much underwater experiences makes me claustrophobic until I was uncomfortably on edge every second of this video.. but i made it til the end of the video! interesting.. waiting for your next adventure
Same!!! I couldn’t breathe right the entire time watching this. I was literally sweating.
Tyler is so good at filming and Safiya is so eloquent she also gets prettier with every video, i love how organic her jokes and how they leave it on the final video even if it doesn't cause full burst of laughter and i also love how there isn't an excess of overly dramatic shots or scenes its just that they are charming and the quality of picture, script, subject, etc is what makes you watch the whole video and even rewind it or rewatch it to not loose a thing.
After watching the Vegas hotel review videos, having random and badass hotel reviews from you and Tyler would be perfect. I know there will always be an honest review from y’all.
There are so many odd hotels. It follows in line with your Japanese capsule hotel adventure. Sounds like it would be so much fun. I love the merman burlesque show idea. Might have to check that one out in person.
