What this video covers

The crew of Parlay Revival navigates the deep, uncharted waters of Raja Ampat, Indonesia, while coordinating a diving excursion with the 72-foot ketch Millennium. Because local charts are unreliable and depths often exceed 180 feet near steep cliffs, the crew struggles to find suitable anchorage before dark.3:51 They eventually anchor in deep water near a group of local dive boats, relying on chain tension to confirm the anchor has set in a patch of sand.5:24 The crew later tours Millennium, a vessel outfitted as a floating dive hostel that accommodates 24 people with two heads and an outdoor shower.9:19 The boat utilizes a large dive compressor powered by a 30-kilowatt genset to support 20 dive tanks.14:41 Following the dive, the crew of Parlay Revival sails north to cross the equator, performing a traditional hazing ceremony to transition three crew members from poliwogs to shellbacks.17:21 The experience highlights the logistical challenges of managing large crews and high-demand equipment in remote, deep-water anchorages.
