The Beautiful Island of ROATAN // VIDEO

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

If you tell someone you’re headed to Roatan, blank stares and a questioning look are sure to be the immediate response. This little island off the north coast of Honduras in the turquoise Caribbean waters has not found itself on many tourists bucket lists… yet. Roatan has been a scuba divers destination since the early 90s, with more dive sites within 100yds of the island’s shoreline than I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Lucky for me, my wife, Courtney, had always knew about this little slice of paradise and we planed our diving trip here for 2025!

Video | Caye Caulker Belize Full Trip!

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The island of Caye Caulker, off the coast of Belize, is the dream tropical vacation destination. Filled with endless opportunities to go SCUBA Diving, sport fishing, drink tropical drinks, and even a short ride away from amazing excursions for Horseback Riding and Cave Tubing. This place seems to have it all and cannot recommend it enough! Video from our trip there, albeit, a year later, but better late than never!

What is There To Do in Key West, Florida?

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Paradise, admittedly, is an overused phrase these days, to which I am absolutely guilty of. A word that has lost its meaning and also means something different to every single person. To some, an ice fishing hut on a frozen lake when it’s -50F outside is paradise, though far from mine idea of a good time. Most others would default the word to a beach with a cold drink as their version of paradise. If you follow Route 1, starting all the way up in Maine, you’ll cross many versions of paradise. But it’s the terminus of Route 1, where …

SCUBA Diving Turneffe Atoll off Caye Caulker in Belize | VIDEO

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

SCUBA Diving trips have two distinct phases of enjoyment. First, being the obvious time spent in the water, surrounded by blue ocean and vibrant coral reefs. The second part happens at home when you are digging through the photos and videos, reliving the adventure, but more importantly, getting to really see all the sea-life in the images you captured. Inevitably, you find so much more in those photos than the original reason you snapped the image in the first place! Plus, you can spend as much time staring without worrying about losing your group or running out of air. Which …

Moorea… The Better Island than Tahiti

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The Island of Moorea, truly one of the most visually stunning places I’ve seen, let alone been to in person. Eight massive, jungle covered peaks extend out of the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Coral reefs wrap around the entire island, creating turquoise blue lagoons that surround the beaches on this paradise. Sharks and turtles navigate in and out of the lagoons, across their homes within healthy coral reefs. And if it wasn’t already amazing enough, you could stay in a bungalow on the water, for $100 a night! Too good to be true? As much as it seems like …

Dream Trip to the Islands of Tahiti & Moorea | VIDEO

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

This year, my wife and I escaped the historic winter in Utah to French Polynesia to the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. We were shocked to see how much different this island chain was compared to Hawaii. This place is drastically more beautiful and far less developed. The diving with Black-tip Reef Sharks were unbelievable, the food with its French influence was amazing, and of course, this place looks (and is) truly a paradise! Throughout the week, we stayed in small little cottages just a stones throw, or sometimes even on, the water. Every day, we went snorkeling, hung out …

Scuba Diving with Sharks & Turtles on the Island of Moorea in Tahiti (VIDEO)

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Getting to dive with Black Tip Reef Sharks was a dream come true, and not just one, but a handful that surrounded us throughout our dives! This island is a true paradise that hasn’t been corrupted by tourism or resource extraction. Tahiti and Moorea was pure beauty both above and below the water! I cannot recommend this dive enough. Enjoy watching the video, as it’s the closest I can try to share the experience with you! Even watching it over again, has transported me back below the water and surrounded by those beautiful sharks again! The two dive shops that …

Thailand SCUBA Liveaboard Experience: Days 2 & 3

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Wake up, dive #1, eat breakfast, dive #2, eat lunch dive #3, snack, dive #4, dinner and beers, go to sleep, and repeat. This pretty much sums up the average day on a liveaboard dive boat. As you can imagine, the purpose of liveaboard is to dive as much as possible from sun-up to sun-down, and even sometimes at night! We chose to go through Similan 7 Seas Diving Shop (No Troubles Just Bubbles), aboard the MV Lapat, which offered a 3 day 2 night liveaboard trip that would take us from Lamu Pier, near Khaolak, to the Similan Islands …
