    I'm surprised of how unaffected this reef looks despite world wide coral bleaching over the past decade. Hope it stays that way this is awesome to see.

    As an Aussie, I literally jumped off my chair when I saw that blue-ringed octopus! We've been told all our lives just how dangerous they are. Very beautiful, though.
  • Excellent work as usual, I’ve work as a cruise director in Raja from 2013 for 5 years, and definitely saw a change over my time there. Still I agree that this place is incredible when it comes to biodiversity and overall coral health. Man I really need to step up my underwater videography game 😅 your work is impressive! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    Your video was captivating, providing an immersive experience that made me feel as though I was diving alongside you. Excellent work!
  • @Deboges
    Just back from 11 days in Raja (North, Central and South). Your filmography captures the South and Central well!

    For some reason this video was recommended on my feed, and I'm so glad I watched it. I don't dive, and terrified of the water after almost drowning eight times in my life, but to watch this was incredibly relaxing and beautiful. I'm glad there are people like you who go places that I never will so that I can see them too. Well done.
  • @svbelisi7639
    Absolutely magnificent! We really enjoyed your video. I could watch your underwater photography all day. Thank you so much for all the work that you put into your videos. Look forward to your next one 😊

  • @erbsl99
    Great Video. Excellent cut. I'll diver there somewhere in the future, it's a long dream of myself. Normally I also create videos from diving, but I think yours is so good, that I will spend my time just for diving and watch this video.
