What this video covers

Steph and Travis anchor Jibsea in a bay off Majorca while waiting out forecasted wind and rain, and the stay produces a string of unplanned encounters. A 30-foot day-charter powerboat loses its anchor and chain when the skipper throttles hard to free it from a rock, snapping the rode and dropping a brand-new Delta-style anchor with roughly 100 feet of 6mm chain to the bottom in about 55 feet of water.1:53 Travis offers to dive for it, but the charter crew circles without bringing a rope and then leaves — apparently because wealthy guests were late for lunch or tennis.2:24 Travis recovers the anchor anyway, loads it onto the charter boat's paddleboard when they return later, and feeds the chain onto the board so the skipper can swim it back.9:50 The skipper explains she couldn't delay for rich guests and offers payment; Travis declines, though he later regrets not asking for a ride on the 60-foot Sunseeker.10:28 Separately, Travis free-dives to 55 feet to retrieve two masks and snorkels from the sea floor, adding to a growing haul of found gear that also includes a free-diving mask, snorkels, and a stand-up paddleboard paddle.5:54 The Insta360 X3 with a 300cm invisible selfie stick is used throughout for drone-style shots.1:07
