The Hidden, Deeply Unsettling Things You Can’t Unknow After Snorkeling

The ocean has a reputation for being calming, meditative, even romantic. Blue horizons. Gentle waves. A sense that everything down there is orderly and whole.

This article is not about that ocean. This is about the one you meet when you put your face in the water and actually pay attention… the ocean where bodies are built sideways, mouths and buttholes play musical chairs, sex is strategic rather than sentimental, and regeneration is treated as routine maintenance. Consider this a reminder that nature is not polite, not tidy, and not particularly interested in human ideas of “normal.” The sea, in particular, has been quietly doing whatever it wants for a very long time.

(This blog post began as a conversation between Everything To Sea co-founder Dave and Happiness Engineer Tom, about just how weird sea creatures really are.)

Why Sailing is Great for Your Mind and Relaxation Needs

We love being on a boat — whether it’s a simple, intimate vessel like The Spectacular Naked Sail, or something more spacious and indulgent, like The Deluxe Naked Sail. Both offer that unmistakable feeling of freedom… of letting go… and of choosing pleasure, presence, and ease. In a world that often prizes hustle and productivity, we embrace something different: a philosophy of hedonism — not indulgence for its own sake, but the intentional pursuit of joy, connection, and calm. There’s no doubt that sailing is one of the most powerful ways to reset your mind, restore your body, and reconnect with what really matters.

So what exactly is sailing, anyway? We’re not talking about hoisting sails and steering the ship yourself. At Everything To Sea, sailing means leaning into leisure — spending your days on a beautiful boat with a fully equipped crew, savoring delicious meals, and anchoring at stunning islands — all while being as naked and unburdened as you like.

Pssst… The Deluxe Naked Sail still has some cabin availability this year, on our trip from September 27 to October 3, 2025.

Catch of The Day! Invasive Fish Leather Makes Waves for Coral Reefs

At Everything To Sea, we’re always excited to explore innovative ways to protect our oceans and marine life. We found an article on nicenews.com which is about sustainable fish leather (edited for brevity, below). It’s made from the invasive lionfish species, and aligns with our commitment to environmental conservation and responsible travel.

As a company that values the beauty of our seas, we understand the importance of preserving coral reefs and maintaining the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. Now, we know you’re probably thinking, “But wait, aren’t you guys all about naked sailing trips?” And you’re right! But we also care a ton about what’s happening to our oceans beyond our boat decks. This clever idea of transforming an invasive fish species into an eco-friendly product is brilliant!

Come on our sea trips in The Coral Triangle – there’s a good chance to see lionfish close up, while snorkeling with us.

5 Must-See Snorkel Sites, Curated by Everything To Sea

There are dozens of reefs in the Coral Triangle that attract snorkelers and scuba divers alike. We’ve been sailing in the area for several years, and we’ve done an extensive amount of underwater curation. We take our travelers to the very best sites – some of which fly completely under the radar, unbeknownst to the crowds. In this blog post, we’ll take you through the top five snorkeling spots that every guy on an Everything To Sea trip gets to experience – and yes, you can be naked, if you want. Please excuse the generic location names – we want to keep these reefs our little secret!

Which Queer Sea Creature Are You?

In the 1990s, marine biologists finally broke through observer bias and societal hush-hush, and came out about what’s really going on under the sea. From little Nemo the clownfish to Free Willy the orca, several species have been observed flipping genders and flopping around with the same sex. These “sea queer-tures” are the real ones making waves with copulation, mutual masturbation, gang banging, courtship, and cuddle time. Things really are better and wetter under the sea.

These are our top 3 favorite sea queer-tures that can all be found in the Coral Triangle – where we run our sailing trips.

Why Hedonism Is Not Always Wrong

Let’s think about – and even analyze – how we feel. In this post, we’ll set the record straight about what ‘hedonism’ actually means, and why it’s actually a good thing to pursue.

These Facts May Change the Way You Travel

The world is an amazing place and traveling can make you feel invincible. It’s no coincidence it’s so addictive. However, there is a science behind the joy of traveling. Check out this article that we found from TheDiscoverer.com about crazy facts that could change the way you travel – and give you even more reasons to head on another new adventure.

Meet Massive Manta Rays

While most of us like to think our own one-eyed monster is the largest creature of the deep blue sea, the reality is our entire physique shrinks compared to massive manta rays. But do not be intimidated, these gentle giants simply spend their lives gliding through the surf. Manta rays are a common sight on Everything To Sea’s voyages within the waters surrounding the many islands of Indonesia.

Snorkeling in The Best Place on Earth

Sometimes we’re asked if cruises provide snorkeling options. We are EVERYTHING TO SEA, so it’d be crazy if we didn’t! Especially because we’re sailing in part of the famous Coral Triangle, dubbed “The Amazon of the Seas”. Picture a beautiful landscape under the sea, rich with marine plants, gorgeous coral, and the greatest diversity of coral reef fishes in the world.
