    Growing up I always wanted to be a marine biologist but my mother always dissuaded me because she grew up in Imperial Beach, CA and she is TERRIFIED of the ocean. I’ve always been fascinated by it but I can’t explain how much these videos have impacted me and reawakened my love for the ocean! Working on getting my Open Water Certification!

    I really love Filipino captains they have so much experience, here in Jeddah my cousin works as an instructor and dive master in with natlus divers and he knows a a Filipino captain who works with him, his name is jimmy and he has like 20-25 years of experience driving the boat and parking them along the reef, with his confidence he does not worry about hitting the coral, he calm composed and collected, he just uses the nose of the ship as a reference when mooring the ship on the reef, plus he drives a large yacht, talk about not being worried of hitting the coral 😉

    Hi Jonathan, I'm with you, they are adorable creatures and i am definitely pleased that their numbers are rising as they are slow breeders. Because they eat sea-grasses, this habitat is very important to take care of also, so they have a sufficient food source too. Thankyou for such beautiful images and informative story and I never realised their range was so extensive!

      Philippines have so much underwater beauty that they can offer to the world. Unfortunately, I know some places where they still do dynamite fishing, eat sea turtles and even Dugongs. I'm a project where Im trying to educate fisherman that marine eco-tourism can be much more lucrative and a lasting career than fishing.

    Their eyes are so tiny! I love your videos... they're super cool, educational, informative and the only videos I ever see on RUclips shot in 4k(I think it's 4k) I spend the entire video saying 'the footage is so clear and beautiful'!
