The original Youtube Drenched diving videos were based on the exploits of Nate and Jordan and Drenched Expedition has morphed into a sailing at sea show. The episodes start with the purchase and refurbishing of a large sailing vessel, Sofia, by gathering a multinational crew of young millennial's that have some sailing skills, but little to no dive experience. Videos are made by a crew of joyous, free living, sea voyagers. Capt. Nate and crew sail off into the South Pacific adding his quips, while first mate Jordan and other crew members add insider scenes and commentary. Capt. Nate has successfully navigated some 3,000 miles of island hopping; way to go Nate and crew!
Drenched Expedition is mostly about sailing fun, however SV Sofia travels steadfastly along but lacks a long term, defined destination. Capt. Nate has asked viewers where we should to go next? Sadly scuba diving is secondary to sailing, with only short clips presented. Episodes have strayed away from the glory days of recording the interesting diving adventures by the two dive instructor-actor-creators. They provided viewers with great scenes from many types of dive locations; cataloged their personal activities; captured much sea life and provided ordinary diver realism to each episode. Whereas, "Expedition episodes" are just another twist on many of Youtube's sailing videos.
Nate and Jordan as divers we do understand, its tough creating weekly, "world wide" videos on an apparent shoestring budget, for a limited audience. A transition from scuba at multiple locations to sailing in the South Pacific Ocean is now the show. Compliments to Nate and Jordan and the millennial crew for being able to keep the ship going, while bringing the viewers along. By comparison I much preferred the original Drenched scuba productions. I do wish you all well and keep the party going!!
