Experiencing the currents of the coral reef | Never Say Never with Jeff Jenkins
JEFF: I'm a big guy, so I didn't think that a current could actually push my body the way that it is.
The most challenging thing about being in this current is to be at the mercy of Mother Nature and allowing the current to take you wherever it takes you. Except for into the coral; that's no good.
But once I took a breath and focused on moving my body with the current, rather than fighting it, I started feeling more confident in what I was doing. I'm finally able to control myself, and I'm rewarded with an absolutely amazing underwater experience.
And that was the tightest I've ever went through any coral reef. They were just everywhere.
Just gliding through it and seeing the walls on each side of us. I've never seen anything like that before.
There was so much marine life.
This coral was one of the dopest things I've ever seen, but navigating the current was kind of hard. Whoo! And showed me that being in rougher waters with these fast-moving whale sharks is definitely gonna be an intense challenge.
