Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the nice words. I am glad you enjoyed it.

First of all, thank you so much for your nice words. Second, you are correct. It was a rumor that people passed along that became sort of "appealing truth" to promote the island. There is a series of links mentioning that he mentioned it, but I found this page (again, I am not sure which is accurate), but this page gives a good chronology about where the confusion came from. everythingcozumel.com/the-documentary-of-cozumel-that-jacques-cousteau-never-made/ I will keep digging more in the future and see if I can find some formal documentation.

Thank you for the good words. I am glad you liked it and you are right. As a diver, you can’t go wrong with a live-aboard experience.

Hello. I am not sure about people changing fins for specific dives, but there is extra gear on the boat as a backup. Maybe someone had issues with their main fins and had to use the backup.

Thank you for the nice words. I mainly use a GoPro for the videos. I have flip filter that I change depending on the depth. There is one for shallow and one for deeper than 25 feet. the GoPro is sitting on the top of a "Photo" camera housing. For night diving, I obviously do not use the filters since I use video lights. I hope this helps.

@@KarimLounesDiving That does help. Thank you for the reply!

Thank you. I want to go back with them, too. I need to redo a better video last time my camera got unhooked and I had to throw away most of the footage.

Thanks for the positive feedback. The deepest we have been on the dives we did was less than 65 feet, but the bottom off the wall is over a 100 feet, anyone could venture down deeper, But they would need to end their dive earlier and remain the surface while the others continue diving. Hope this helps.

GoPro Hero Black 7. Underwater housing for the GoPro. Backscatter filters. The camera was plugged on the top of my Aquatica D500 housing that I was using to shoot photos. I mostly use GoPros to shoot videos underwater. Aerial photography: DJI drone

Thank you for the quick reply and all the videos you share

Not only many of the sites have mooring lines, but all the dives we have started were in a sandy bottom around the reef. Thanks for watching and thanks for your concerns.

Thank you so much for the nice words. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I am sure you’ll enjoy the experience. I did, and will most likely go back there at some point.

@@KarimLounesDiving We have been wanting to go on the AquaCat for a long time and now it is going to happen - can't wait for November!!! 😄

I was a solo traveler on this boat when making this video. The group was so good, it felt like a family after just one day together. If your question is about diving solo, I am not sure exactly how it works , but you certainly are tied to a schedule since you won't be able to dive while the boat is moving from a site to another. There always are dive guides who ask divers if people are going to follow or just dive as buddies on their own. Divers need to get back on time obviously so they can move the boat to the next dive site. As long as you follow the guide, you don't have to have a specific buddy, I guess. You may shoot them the question via their agency's site: Search Allstar Liveaboards.

Thanks for leaving a comment. Glad it was useful to you.

Thank you. You’re right; it is more playing than anything else. :)

No they don’t a lot of them are dying due to pollution from the boats

Yes, that sounds about right according to Google.

For videography, I use GoPro with flip filters.

Yes, I have heard. Parts of Bonaire's east coast, including Sorobon, Lac and Lagun, have been contaminated with oil, and vulnerable mangrove, fish, and coral ecosystems are at risk, the government said in a statement on Monday, 26th 2024. The government has not declared a state of emergency but has advised visitors to avoid the polluted locations. On Social Media platforms, divers seem to still enjoy the dive sites and in their videos and comments, the sites seem to be healthy. Need to keep monitoring the situation.

Some are advanced, but for others, it was their first open water dive after certification.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. Yeah see you around. I am planning a little underwater photography and videography seminar at the new location sometime soon. We will send the invite and hope to get folks to do some workshops. See you soon!

Thank you for the kind words. I watched your video. I think you pointed to some of the issues already in your comment. I was impressed by the stability of the Insta360 X3 when you were on the boat and when walking to get in the water. The 360 cameras do better on land in dry environments. Once the housing gets wet, and when you take the camera underwater with that housing, the results have not been great, not just in your case, but we have tried some 360 cameras and didn't give a great result, either. The 360 Videos are cool, especially the ones where you can post the video and have the users rotate and look around not just to give them the final edit, but to shoot a good quality production, they don't seem to do well underwater. The SealLife, on the other hand, did better underwater. Shooting video in the daylight with lights is a bit tricky. The camera did not know how to adjust, thus the overexposed corals and bluish colorless backgrounds. I still recommend either a GoPro or a DJI Osmo Action with a filter for underwater videos. Those do much better for almost the same budget. Hope this helps.

@@KarimLounesDiving Thank you for your feedback. I have a brand new Insta360 Ace Pro, which is supposedly an improved version of GoPro. I'm going to use it with filters and no external light on my next diving trip. Definitely want to see the results. Thanks again for the tips.

Thank you for the feedback. Will de better the next time hopefully. Thank you for watching, too.

Thanks for your support. For this trip, I stayed at the Allegro Cozumel. They have the dive center on the premice.

Thanks for the comment. Usually, the water temp is too warm to wear a suit, but you should be good if you wear a 3mil, gloves and hood :)

Thank you for your feedback.

Feel free to make you own video.

Thank you. Glad you like it.
