Great video....I sort of figured you weren't going to boondock in the Keys. Did you see the Yellow Lab in the door window of the RV next to you in the opening shot? I still do a double take whenever I see that. Ron
+Ron Weiss I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught it, I couldn't imagine sharing a RV with a Dog that big, I have to wonder if it was just a decal.
OMG!!! Best video ever! Loved it! And what an inspiration you are. I live only 3 hours north and have lived here since 1998 and you have seen more of Florida than I ever have, lol! About time to get myself out there and do some exploring.
Wow Eric WOW that was great underwater footage. One of your best videos yet. It's fantastic to see you so happy and confident. Jax is so freaking adorable too! Nice job!
Great video! The 1080 res is a noticeable improvement over 720 since I view your YT's on a 27" monitor connected to my desktop Mac. Can't wait 'til you switch to 4k!
+Railstuff Well, you aren't waiting on me. I can film and upload in 4K right now. But RUclips's highest output is 1080p. At least they adapted to allow 60fps a year ago.
I am thoroughly enjoying your videos Eric. Your camera work and the music are fantastic! Getting so I don't want to miss one of your videos. The views of snorkeling brings back memories of a cruise I took one time that stopped at Key West. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride!
That was great fun. Your underwater footage took me back to Puerto Rico in the seventies. We snorkeled on the reefs. The sea life was so colorful. Almost everything that looked like a plant was an animal! 65 degrees though, chilly! 68 to 71 is ideal for me.
What a wonderful name! I bet Jax will love being in a place with his name. Expensive place, but lovely for you to snorkel. The filming underwater was great. We tried to film some dolphins when we were diving in the Red Sea. You can have a look if you are interested. But our filming was not a patch on yours! Well done. Take care xxx
Wow fantastic video Eric. I'm so very glad you are getting the opportunity to check off activities on your bucket list. Watching the video and thinking about you experiencing something so wonderful and important to you literally made me tear up with happiness you must have been feeling. Have a great time and savor every last second. I understand you wanting to take a few days off from video taping to fully experience your bucket list destination however must say I'll miss seeing your daily video as you are the first one I view every day.
Hi eric,your friend here in Alabama.Thanks for the video.I have never been that far down into florida but it sure does look nice.Stay safe my friend and have fun.
I just love how Jax fits right in where ever he goes, he also likes to be involved in what ever you are doing with the camera's. He must get that those people in the little box are important and he wants to be involved as well. Just the best cat ever, Jax rules.
Eric enjoying the state of Florida there is lots of things to do and see all over the state software that just have fun and enjoy I enjoyed their take thank you
awesome video quality!!. that was my favorite thing to do when I lived in Florida. we used to dive a water tower just off the coast of cheeca lodge in islamorada.
Great video Eric! When we dove John Pennekamp it was choppy and little stinging jellyfish were everywhere. Sorry you missed the underwater statue called Christ of the Abyss. It is considered a great photo op.
Hey Eric this was my favorite video of all. Good job. So cool that you said you were having the time of your life. Enjoy! Nice park u are in but $70 a day yikes!
OK, now I'm jealous. I got sick when we were scheduled to take the snorkeling trip at John Pennekamp SP last year. Ended up taking their glass bottomed boat instead. I shared your video with my husband. I think he needs to see the reefs/fish up close! It is an amazing experience. Dry Tortugas National Park is another great place to snorkel. Just hope we can find a campground opening down there when we are finally ready to go. So glad you got to do this.
Looks like a lot of fun~ Something I definitely want to do as well. I'm also glad you mentioned you will do a video on how you keep the RV cool for Jax when you are gone. I have 2 cats coming on the road with me later this year and that's a huge concern for me. I'll be in a van, but hopefully what you share will apply to me too. Enjoy your 'off cam' days Eric, relax and enjoy all the beauty around you!
makes me remember my scouting trip i took a few years ago. We chartered a 45 foot sailboat and sailed up and down the keys. We went snorkeling near the base of this lighthouse that was built on a reef and the whole trip was really cool.
Very nice Eric. Gotta love those GoPro's! Super versatile camera. I'm glad you mentioned the resolution it's good information and I changed my settings to see your great efforts! Take care!
good for you bro - relax and enjoy the trip. Dont forget to check out side roads to dead ends. some areas have no houses built yet and the views are awesome. Also make sure to try stone crabs.
"Captain Jack" is a song by Billy Joel featured on his 1973 album Piano Man.... lots of different interpretations... for those of us who were around back then.... i'm sure we all have our own... rock on!!!
Hey Mr. Eric, and Jax.. enjoyed your last video tremendously! have not been to Fla. in too many years. thru your video's i am able to bring up some great memories. thank you very much. enjoy, relax, and you guys stay safe.
I see you had a few Barracudas watching you. When I was a kid here in South East Florida they were the reason I quit scuba/snorkel diving. ALMOST lost a few fingers to one. They are almost invisible when they are ready to attack, facing you head on, and they move so fast that you are saying what the... before your brain can process what you actually saw. At least with a shark you know they are coming if you are alert, barracuda seem to come from nowhere, hit so fast you really dont know what it was at first, and disappear back into nowhere. And the whole time they are close enough to see you and what your doing. Made me kinda twitch watching you video, LOL. Of course you probably know by now but to go to Key West this time of year if you dont have a reservation the closest you MIGHT find a camping spot is Sunshine Key and its a long drive back if you do any partying or drinking there. LOL MOST of the hotels and motels are booked up this time of year also. Winter is a hard time to find a place in the keys without reservations, and the price is HIGH even with. I know of people that camp in Everglades National Park and drive 100 miles down and 100 miles back 2 or 3 days in a row because they know that winter is a bust without reservations. Good Luck!!! 8-)
+Class A Living Not really. You rent all the gear and get a 45 minute boat ride included for $42. I think that's a fair price for this kind of adventure.
Next time you go snorkeling look at the bottom of the coral heads not just at the fish and seafans on top of them. That's where you'll find octopus and spiny lobsters.... and the occasional moray eel. :-)
have not been to the reef in over 20 years....man, it was nice to see again! Definitely a bucket list nomination to experience in person, because the colors are much more vivid. Nice job Eric!
Great video! Still not used to that fisheye lens, though, although it was appropriate underwater, I guess. Loved seeing the living coral. Can't snorkel any more, thanks for letting me do it vicariously! It is downright balmy here in North Texas right now, so I can't complain about the weather. Jax looks so happy with his little window perch. Both of you stay well and have fun!
I snorkeled in that area once years ago. The only thing I remember are the Green Peace people pulling me back to shore. lol Can I ask when you and Jax are planning the parachute jump? That would be great.
+Cubic hen gaming For the campground? I would say yes since they were booked on my arrival. Also, you must sign up for the boat trips as well. But you can do it same-day.
Hi Eric, make sure to rinse and thoroughly dry your selfie stick. Even dismantle the bolts. I did saltwater excursions with mine. Put it away wet and the bolts for the camera head adjustment area all rusted. The slider clamps were fine. Just the metal nut and bolts in the plastic camera mount frame rusted and ruined the selfie stick.
+Nomadic Fanatic You can push it a lot farther man. There's a couple of ways to basically "recreate" red channel in underwater clips, feel free to also sharpen the shit out of that footage. But of course red lens filter is the best starting point.

The underwater photography was fantastic. The colors of the keys are beautiful
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
This is soooo great...the underwater is awesome. And Jax was exceptionally cute
Great video! Love the Keys...very beautiful! You and Jax have a great time!!
Thanks for taking me along - really appreciate it. It's so lovely down there.
Great video as always Eric. Snorkeling is on my bucket list. 65 degrees... Brrr... LOL
Glad you got to go out snorkeling..... the sea life is really magical in the Keys!
Jax is so cute looking out at his neighbor kitty.
Awesome day Eric, we have got to try snorkeling in the ocean, it was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
It is very beautiful there...enjoy you keys vacation.
Great video....I sort of figured you weren't going to boondock in the Keys.
Did you see the Yellow Lab in the door window of the RV next to you in the opening shot? I still do a double take whenever I see that.

+Ron Weiss I'm glad I wasn't the only one that caught it, I couldn't imagine sharing a RV with a Dog that big, I have to wonder if it was just a decal.
Song Sungblue, It's a decal, pretty cool marketing all their rentals have that pic of that dog looking out of the window.
Hey Ron I caught the dog in the window also. But thought it was a cardboard cut out picture or something like that. Lol
Great video....enjoy your down time in the Keys
Love your videos! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. We so look forward to your videos. My whole family are your fans. LOVE your channel!
OMG!!! Best video ever! Loved it! And what an inspiration you are. I live only 3 hours north and have lived here since 1998 and you have seen more of Florida than I ever have, lol! About time to get myself out there and do some exploring.
You're still putting on the hits Eric, thanks for sharing snorkeling at the keys:)
Wow Eric WOW that was great underwater footage. One of your best videos yet. It's fantastic to see you so happy and confident. Jax is so freaking adorable too! Nice job!
Beautiful, one day I'll get there myself, enjoy your down time Eric.
Thanks for sharing your snorkeling adventure! Very cool! :-)

65 degrees though, chilly! 68 to 71 is ideal for me.
Thanks for sharing, and taking us along Eric. Enjoy your relaxation, we will be here waiting to hear all about your adventures.
I'm loving life through your channel, to keep me alive. Thank you!!
Great job Eric, loved it. THANKS! so much for allowing me to tag along.

Great Great Great!....thanks for videoing it for us....Florida Keys is a place I would love to visit!
very cool pal. the underwater footage is amazing.

once u get to key west.. check out the sunset gathering.. its a major event there..
makes me remember my scouting trip i took a few years ago. We chartered a 45 foot sailboat and sailed up and down the keys. We went snorkeling near the base of this lighthouse that was built on a reef and the whole trip was really cool.
good job Eric.....thanx again
cool video Eric !!I used to live in Miami and ride my cycle down there to that park and camp. My friend and I used to boat down there too.
Great video ...thanks Eric
Very nice Eric. Gotta love those GoPro's! Super versatile camera. I'm glad you mentioned the resolution it's good information and I changed my settings to see your great efforts! Take care!
That was cool.
Thanks for another fun and interesting video.
Happy Trails!

Beautiful video. What an awesome experience that must have been.
Glad you had fun......" CHILLaxing" ........ :)
Thumbs up !
Enjoy it Eric !
ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE
Seriously thanks for sharing your travels. Did the snorkel adventure in Key west several years ago. Video quality was excellent btw :)
Oh so nice i have google earthed the whole trip and thats incredable, i keep thinking about Humphrey Bogart in that one movie he does in the keys.
good for you bro - relax and enjoy the trip. Dont forget to check out side roads to dead ends. some areas have no houses built yet and the views are awesome. Also make sure to try stone crabs.
"Captain Jack" is a song by Billy Joel featured on his 1973 album Piano Man....
lots of different interpretations...
for those of us who were around back then.... i'm sure we all have our own...
rock on!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Enjoyed!
Awesome underwater shots!
Gotta be Molasses reef, great job Eric, nice vid, that's livin' in the conch republic.
Great fishing down there, any spot under bridges
Awsome one of a kind video, you got it made Eric. Stay safe out there.
Excellent job! Keep up the good work! Totally enjoyed it.
Here before the haters.
Very Cool!....enjoy your vacation / down time!
O!M!G! That is a fabulous park! It was 20 years ago, and it is, now.
Hey Mr. Eric, and Jax.. enjoyed your last video tremendously! have not been to Fla. in too many years. thru your video's i am able to bring up some great memories. thank you very much. enjoy, relax, and you guys stay safe.
Great photography
Very cool, I could totally tell the difference, I am kinda a HD snob and really enjoyed this, thank you.
Dan from Spokane
Great Video. Florida seems to be a nice place. 😎
Thank you for a great video. Going to the Keys in June and snorkeling is on the list!!
I see you had a few Barracudas watching you. When I was a kid here in South East Florida they were the reason I quit scuba/snorkel diving. ALMOST lost a few fingers to one.

I'm a bit late to the party but very cool!! Thanks for sharing!! Someday I hope to get there!
For the first time diver and to record, that is amazing- and beautiful, color of the water is beautiful
Is snorkeling expensive?
+Class A Living Not really. You rent all the gear and get a 45 minute boat ride included for $42. I think that's a fair price for this kind of adventure.
+Nomadic Fanatic I used to live across from John pennycamp state park. Do you dive Frech reef, or Grecian rocks? Best place to eat is Num Thi.
Next time you go snorkeling look at the bottom of the coral heads not just at the fish and seafans on top of them. That's where you'll find octopus and spiny lobsters.... and the occasional moray eel. :-)
I've been binge watching your videos and I love them!! You crack me sometimes!! Livin' the dream!!
Florida is the sunshine state 🌞
Enjoy your time in paradise
Hi Jax 🐱 saying hello from
Florida🌞Happy trails.
LOVED THIS!!
have not been to the reef in over 20 years....man, it was nice to see again! Definitely a bucket list nomination to experience in person, because the colors are much more vivid. Nice job Eric!
Great video. I put snorkeling in the Keys on my bucket list.
Great footage!
1080 a definite difference in color and sharpness! WOW Thanks
Snorkeling! I love snorkeling. It's a great way to stay fit or get fit.
Great video I really miss the Keys its my favorite vacation spot.
Just amazing, thanks for sharing.
Great video! Still not used to that fisheye lens, though, although it was appropriate underwater, I guess. Loved seeing the living coral. Can't snorkel any more, thanks for letting me do it vicariously! It is downright balmy here in North Texas right now, so I can't complain about the weather.

If you wanna check out a cool unique little locals bar, in Big Pine Key find No Name Pub, really cool stuff, it's been there for years.
Great video.
it's been thirty years and change since I've been there, the water looks awful.
shocked it would die back so much.
If you like snorkelling you should come to Australia and check out the Great Barrier Reef! Enjoy your relaxation mate..
Do u have to make a resirvation john pennakamp coral state park or can u just go
+Cubic hen gaming For the campground? I would say yes since they were booked on my arrival. Also, you must sign up for the boat trips as well. But you can do it same-day.
+Nomadic Fanatic That's awesome that you went snorkeling! You may want to film when you cross that big bridge to Key West-it's really an experience!
Hi Eric, make sure to rinse and thoroughly dry your selfie stick. Even dismantle the bolts.

great video as always
Beautiful coast line Eric,
enjoyed the video
Very nice, i love the Keys. Good Video
A magenta or orange filter would bring out some more color to your underwater video. :)
+Carlo Dimacali Yeah I do my own custom color correcting. I did warm up this video, and you are right about the filter.
+Nomadic Fanatic You can push it a lot farther man. There's a couple of ways to basically "recreate" red channel in underwater clips, feel free to also sharpen the shit out of that footage. But of course red lens filter is the best starting point.
A rare calm day in the Keys this winter. You got lucky!
