Hi Daniel, great video! enjoyed it thoroughly and immediately had all the wonderful dives in my head again! And of course the time I shared with you and Charlotte - Thank you! We are going back on the Serenity for the same cruise in jan 23!!
Hey Birgit - great to hear from you 🥰! So pleased you managed to see the video - I can honestly say it was my favourite trip... EVER! All the wonderful dive sites, the whale sharks, corals, fish life and meeting you too 💕. Really pleased to read you are going on the same trip again in Jan-23, hope it's just as good for you all 😊. I will be diving Banda Sea in October of this year, so there will be another video to see if you subscribe 😉
Hey Daniel and Charlotte! It’s Carole from the boat. Its awesome to have this video to look back on. I didn’t realize there were rays and sharks around our boat until I saw your drone footage! Beautiful!
Hey Carole - nice to hear from you, hope you and Ethan got home safely... Pleased you liked the video... Hope you've got another trip planned soon?!? Safe diving buddies 🤿🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♂️🥽👌🏼
Thank you Fernando! I always aim to show my underwater footage in the most natural looking state that I can 🤓 Hope the knee is all fixed up, and you've got lots of good diving trips planned?! ... Hopefully see you down there at some stage in the future - happy diving buddy, and look after yourself 👌🏼👍🏼
Great quality video, Daniel. It was especially interesting to us because we will be taking the same trip on the same boat in January 2023. My wife, however, was not too excited about so many sharks:)
Hey Val - pleased to read you enjoyed the video. It was an incredible trip that's for sure, and tell your wife not to worry about the abundance of Sharks - it's a real honour to see them like that.
So, I am still somewhat of a new diver. Got like around twenty dives under my belt. Would I be ready to dive with sharks? Are people not afraid of seeing their first one? I know they get really bad press but i can not imagine being surrounded by them.
In short, yes! you are ready! Choose a reputable guide / company, that don't feed them - and you'll have an awesome experience. The first shark you see will be an unforgettable experience (I definitely remember the first shark I saw) and will certainly get the heart pumping, but there's really nothing to worry about - they are more scared of you, than you are of them (great whites aside!).
Amazing video and the quality is outstanding, hope to see more from this channel!
Thanks - you will do for certain!
As a fellow underwater videographer I can say: congratulations on some great footage and an excellent edit
Thank you very much - appreciate it 👌🏼
Wooo Beautiful video Daniel
Thank you Eran - the beauty is not my credit to take, that’s the underwater realm and of course the Maldives too!
🤿 🇲🇻😍🙏🏼

Nice video! What a contrast with the conditions I had in September 2020 on Emperor Leo. Makes me wanna give the Maldives another try :)
Thanks very much - the Maldives Deep South is a spectacular trip! Best time to go is Jan-March! Good luck 🤞🏼
Amazing! Beautiful production! Incredible color, dives and species! I love it!
Thank you Juan, I’m pleased you enjoyed it! And thanks for your lovely comments 👌🏼

Amazing stuff again, was it this year?
Thank you Ben! All the footage was recorded in January of this year on a two week ‘Deep South’ trip… Just took my time to edit and publish 👍🏼
Amazing colors! Do you using filters on your camera and lights?
Thanks! Yes I use a keldan red filter on the camera, and also keldan ambient filters on the lights.
So, I am still somewhat of a new diver. Got like around twenty dives under my belt.
