Amazing!👏 I have seen several beautiful under-water footages, but this is the first time I felt I wanna dive-in right there. Love😍 the texts too. Kudos to everyone involved; superb...😀

    • @MarioDragon
      @MarioDragon 7 лет назад

      Well I mean there probably really wasn't anything living in that spot before the oil rig got put in so if you like endless ocean blue it'd be pretty cool, if you turn around a few times in the video you can see that

    • @NewMessage
      @NewMessage 7 лет назад +2

      MarioDragon by 'wasn't anything living', you mean cute little colorful fish and beautiful fractal corals. Every inch of the sea floor ever dredged has yielded tones of life. You've just decided that the worms, algaes, bacteria, copopods,isopods, micro mollusks, sponges and other small, creepy, crawly, 'unlovable' life forms qualify as 'nothing'.
      Very telling of the human idea of what is 'worthy of life'.
      Seeing as we only visit, I imagine what we 'think of the view'.. should be irrelevant when we decide what is worthy of existing there.
      My point was that maybe Nature had a good enough idea of what it was doing without our aesthetic judgement.

    Worked offshore oil and gas for 30 years.......always the best fishing around the platforms. In Texas we remove the top structure and lay down the jacket (underwater structure) on the bottom for the wildlife. Though they kill everything in the area when they use the explosives.....lol........The government makes us do that........Oh and the seafloor is returned to pristine too.
