    SIPADAN - Big Fish Theater like no other!

    This place doesn't need introduction, and yes, it's really like they say. The sheer scale of fish life is almost shocking. We were lucky to have 2 diving days - 8 dives - in a row there. Maybe except for the macro enthusiasts - this is an absolute must place to dive! Note that Youtube still...

    Shark Dive Polynesian style - at Fiji Beqa Lagoon

    Quite a stunning experience these two dives were! Bull sharks in nearly touching distance, and what a frenzy we witnessed later... So this is my homage to Fiji, to its underwater world and its culture, too. Thanks for watching!

    Cabilao Bohol - still one of the most amazing reefs!

    It's been 7 years since I last dived the stunning reefs of Cabilao and wondered what they would like like. And yes, Cabilao is still as diverse, lush and healthy as before, with lots of fish life - from pygmy sea horses to...Mantas! Here are a few first impressions, thanks for watching!

    Shark frenzy at Beqa Lagoon - The Fiji Shark Dive

    In the beginning I felt ambivalent about the Beqa Lagoon shark dive, knowing they're feeding the sharks. Once we took our "seats" and watched the "Bulls" entering the arena I changed my mind....and was just captivated. Bull sharks, nurse sharks, all kinds of sharks, and all just a few meters...

    Hawaii - the Manta Night Spectacle

    no matter how often you've seen Manta rays before, the Big Island Kona night dive is still something that stands out. They come extremely close, just cms, inches away from our heads, we could feel the thrust of their wings! When 4 Mantas were around us, it became an awe-inspiring experience! I...

    diving Hawaii - how is it??

    Hi, we consider going to Hawaii this summer and also dive there. Now I wonder how is the diving there. On Youtube I found mostly videos about cage diving, spear fishing, "I found a tablet underwater" or whatever kind of stuff, but hardly any really good stuff. So, I'm a bit skeptical...

    upgrade to 4K - anyone experienced with the GH5?

    I plan to upgrade to 4K eventually, and consider a few different options. The things I'm most concerned of are stable auto focus and ultra wide angle lens options. I checked out a few camera systems and it seems to me it's down to these two: - Sony AX700 pros: good auto focus, good...

    Palau - what a place to dive!

    It's the world's first shark sanctuary, a huge area where sharks are protected....and you can see that! Nowhere else I've seen so many sharks around, getting close up, enjoying the current, it's fantastic. But Palau is much more... This is my homage to Palau - thank you to the crew of the 7th...

    what a Manta spot...in Japan!

    Hi, Living in Hong Kong I should have known about Ishigaki, Okinawa. But it took my company's regional meeting in Okinawa to get me there....especially in September / October chances are very high to spot one, and not just one! Juergen

    Noonu Atoll - dramatic diving at Shark Point and Christmas Tree

    ok ok....dramatic may be a bit too much ;-), but these two spots are really great. Grey sharks, eagle rays, sting rays, turtles, schools of jackfish and bat fish, it's all there and it's far away from the crowds. Fantastic!

    Puerto Galera - Again!

    just watched Interceptor121's video and remembered my dives and filming there. Amazing coral world and lots of interesting creatures there. I liked most the weird frog fish, especially the one with the bizarre antennas on its head (2:45, 0:50, 1:02) and this juvenile shaded batfish...orange...

    Magix Movie Edit Pro / Video ProX - any experience?

    I've been using Magix Video Deluxe 2013 for some time. Technically it's quite capable, but a bit buggy and export into Mgep4 was a mess in the beginning, with the patch it seemed solved, but then the problem came somehow back again. I wonder how the latest version or the more expensive Prox...

    Manta Rays in a "secret" place

    Hi Everyone, finally I finished this one, a movie of a trip which turned out surprisingly fantastic. When we went there, to Ticao Island, somebody said "don't go there, massive current, you'll need a reef hook, and all you'll see is plancton!" We didn't care, went there and were rewarded with...

    Balicasag Island, Philippines - movie

    Hi, now this is my premier here, I'm new to the forum and new to filming too. This movie is from footage I took in the Philippines, at Balicasag Island, Panglao, quite popular place. I used a Sony CX-760, with short inserts from the GoPro....to satisfy the ego-centered side of mine . I hope...

    Hi Everybody I'm new here, just opened an account after browsing here for quite some time.... I got my OWD ten years back, then three years ago I exchanged the murky waters of Germany by the tropical wonderworlds of South-East Asia, my new neighborhood ;). The Philippines have become my...
