We have to leave NOW! 48 hours in Niue (S1 Episode 5)

Bad weather is on it's way and it's time to GET OUTTA HERE! After sailing 1500 miles from New Zealand to Niue, we finally make landfall only to find out that there's huge westerly swells coming in that will force us to head west to Tonga. We make the most of the time we have and have the awesome opportunity to meet up with Nikki and Jason Wynn From Gone With The Wynn's. They're scuba diving lovers just like us, so we go on a little mission together and do some amazing cave diving and get up close and personal with the endemic katuali or flat tail sea snake.

That water was insane! So crystal clear the sea snake looked like it was floating in air. Fantastic episode and so stoked we were able to hang, explore and share such a unique experience together. 💗 See you in Tonga!

Seriously, l wonder what TV program makers think of videos like this. Soon TV will be dead, they can not compete with youtubers and to be able to watch without millions of adverts. This is the future of modern world television. Terrific stuff guys.

We are delighted to have found you all because you met up with the Wynns for this epic dive in Niue. It must have been tough only having 48 hours in Niue. It looks like a really magical & wondrous place! Thank you for sharing with us as much as you did!

It is nice to hear Oceane is recovering from her accident and it is just a small fracture that does not require a cast. Get well soon. Rest is the best thing for now.

OMg! What a paradise of an island far from this crazy world! Cool that you got to meet up with the "Gone With The Wynns" crew. That cave dive was surreal!

[beebo]

Wow, what an excellent and entertaining video production, and so glad you met the Wynns. I have been following “Gone With the Wynn’s” for years, and have considered them at the top of skillful video creators but Expedition Drenched is now offering some stiff competition for pure entertainment value. I am pleased that you included them in your video. I love both channels and wish each of you great success in the future.

Wow. Thank you all for bringing us along for the ride. Hope you take this as a complement. You guys will rival Delos as the must see video channel. I so look forward to your next video. Be careful and safe sailing to you all. (Kansas, USA)

Such a beautiful island and surrounding waters. You all are so fortunate to have experienced this lovely place. Hope you get to come back and explore more of her hidden treasures soon.

[megladane]

Congrats on 45k but you deserve so much more. Great concept, my all time fave channel. Been following you since forever its seems. Fun to watch you grow as creators and now boat owners. More responsibility, tons more work, and yet you still punch out top notch vids. Much much appreciated. Will become a patreon supporter once I can get back to work. Still recovering from cancer. Wish I could come with you all. Wishing you and your crew nothing but the best.

Oue tulou kehe tau fakakiteaga he haaku a motu, thank you so much for sharing your video of my beautiful island, having travelled the world (still) these sorts of posts gives me the passion to continue to travel, have travelled through most of the Polynesia Island's I'd like to see a episode of French Polynesia, one that I have not seen yet.

So glad that Oceane's injury wasn't worse. Your underwater footage is superb. So many beautiful creatures... the most captivating ... the sea snake ....just gorgeous. Glad you are approaching 50K subs! Celebrate as a crew and bring us along 🙌
