- The Ribbon Reefs are a string of ten large reefs that together form the outer edge of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. One feature of the Ribbons is that they serve to shelter the inner reef from big storm damage.
The Ribbon Reefs are home to some of the GBR's most popular dive sites. "Steve's Bommie", "Lighthouse Bommie" and "Cod Hole" are among the best known. But there are also other more recently discovered sites that were real standouts on our recent expedition (June 2011).
"Acropolis" is one of the sites that is new to me. It boasts the most perfect fields of Acropora coral I have ever seen. Table corals that are 12' / 3.6m in diameter are common here. Uninterrupted fields of staghorn corals extend beyond the 100' / 30m visibility in all directions. Coral cover is close to 100% on this reef. Such coral density is getting rare enough these days... but considering this whole region recently slept through Cyclone Yasi, then the still-pristine state of "Acropolis" is testament to the resilience of coral reefs, the protection the "barrier" offers the inner reef, and the general patchiness of storm damage.
Liz and I dived and worked on the Ribbon Reefs a decade ago-in fact, it's where we first met. During our expedition last month, we were thrilled to see the sites were in even better condition now than when we last saw them. Familiar coral heads and bommies seem to have more fish than ever. The corals are in better condition, and of course bigger than they were 10 years ago. The many anemones I used to film each week have found new tenants, but are still right where I last saw them: True clownfish have replaced the Pink anemonefish on top of "Steve's Bommie", while Barrier Reef anemonefish have replaced Spinecheeks a little further down the site. It was like returning to an old neighbourhood... some faces may have changed, but the same houses stand strong.
This video shows a random mix of footage from the Ribbon Reefs dive sites. I hope it doesn't take another 10 years before I re-visit them again.

this still remains my favorite video ever
So happy to hear it! :)
Nature is such a beautiful inspiration. I watch videos like these while listening to beautiful music every morning when I wake up. Keeps me in a positive perspective throughout the day :)
What a great way to start each day! :)
You can literally see the entire cast of "Finding Nemo" here.
true
I found Nemo!
Weird how the barracuda is waiting outside the anenemonemonemane lol
Freaking amazingly beautiful, why have more people not seen this?
This is what a glimpse of heaven looks like. so many more creatures that live but we don’t see and are a mystery. So amazing all the creatures Jesus formed in so little time it’s just crazy and each one is so rich
I've watched this video countless times and it never gets old...
Lovely to hear it, thanks for letting us know :)
I want to go diving there one day! Amazing!
So gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
I love nature it's my best source of inspiration ♥️♥️

they really are that gorgeous! what beautiful footage- I was fortunate enough to dive GBR in 2008, thanks to ScubaRadio and Greg the Divemaster! I highly recommend making the trip! I also recommend taking me along with you- I would love to go back!
壮大な自然美、よく守ってこられましたね。
That's my dream! It even touched my heart & wanted me to swim in the coral reefs as a mermaid!
Beautiful. Thank you to everyone involved.
Editing or cinematography like this is a dream job for me
This is such a great view of the Australian ocean and its so relaxing and peaceful!!! Dolphins are my favorite animal
Happy to hear it, thanks for sharing :)
@@UnderseaProductions your so welcome
WOW!..AMAZING!
Hooray!🐳🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦈🐚❤
beautiful, lovely footage
wow in 2011 the underwater so amazing. Hope now also still amazing :)
I literally just woke up from a dream where my family and my cousins family found ourselves off a boat and in the Great Barrier Reef. Something about this video and it’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL music just puts me in a very weird state of something? I’m not sure what. But this video brought my dream to life. Thank you.
Sounds like a truly beautiful dream :)
so jealous.. this is my dream
Do it..don't let life pass you by.
me too
too bad it doesn't look like that anymore, Go TH-cam "50 minutes to save the world" by Amir Zakery. It's like a short documentary on how all the coral reefs are dying because of ocean pollution and all the Plastic , and all the sunscreen lotion people use are killing off the reefs and how if we don't act now, in 30 years there will be no more coral reefs and the oxygen levels will be so low we might need to wear oxygen masks just to go outside.
Beautifully done. Great photography and editing.
world of silence ,beautiful .
Das wahr so Atemberaubende unter wasser welt mit verschiedenen farben das wahr so erlebnisse pur.

I just love that half blue half yellow fish
2:09 is the Royal dottyback (Pictichromis paccagnellae). Other common names for it are the Bicolor dottyback and the False gramma.
Blue tang?
Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Thank you!

Yep, a real beauty :)
Picturing Somerset doing research at the library 😂

Beautiful video. I'm planning on diving in the GBR this September. Could you recommend some good dive sites and tours? Where is this video taken at?
The best film ever
1:22 this is damn finding Nemo bro
magnifique, stunning.

Bravo

how i can support you ?
super videos - super music -it works !
great - Mike
Wow! How did you get so close to the snake? weren't you scared?
+Darryn Jones Sea snakes are slow and inquisitive. I have always felt at ease with them. -Josh
If i were to travel from the states to Australia to dive reefs like these, where should I stay? (City, Resort, etc.)
You could stay on a liveaboard dive boat if you want to spend maximum time diving the outer reefs. All these shots were filmed while on a 10-day liveaboard dive trip.
It is good
And the green fish in the yellowfin goatfish?
What happened at 1:11? The little fish was there and then - gulp! - it was gone! Beautiful scenery. Great camera work. Hope to make it one day/
that was a hawkfish
He just swam off quickly :)
shark challenges/vlogs - Thanks.
Undersea Productions - You're right, the hawkfish just swam off really quickly, I could only see that when I slowed the speed down to 0.25. What is that purple thing under the hawkfish? I though that the purple thing ate the hawkfish.
1:24 I see Marlin but no Nemo.
Nemo is with his ocean friends. LOL!
cool
at 3.25 what kind of fish is that ??
+Joseph Lefebvre It's a flatworm
what kind of camera did you use?
fab
Hallo ! Is it okay that I use the video for a short clip in my school class?
wow
are these filmed with gopros or much more expensive gear ?
This was filmed with the Panasonic HVX200 in a Gates underwater housing
You want the answer - look to nature.
What are those?? Sea Snakes?
Ok thanks
Whats the name of the fish 3:41?
And this is why I plan on being a marine biologist, any suggestions on a college to look at as far as studying the coral reefs?
I thought James Cook University in Townsville was pretty good. -Josh
Hope you're not lying, pulling some George costanza joke on us :D
The sea was angry that day, my friends
Saweet
I think Prince Edward Island has a nice one.
How did you get the color like that on the coral
+XvXSHARK Well, the reef is colourful to begin with ;) To bring that colour into the footage, we shoot with underwater video lights or with red filters.
1:11 PEW!
What camera is this filmed with?
Panasonic HVX200
2:19 is that a pilot fish?
It's a Giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis)
i just saw like all the finding nemo fish.
0:30 What is that? Maybe a Zifio?
Dwarf Minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata
Its a shame this natural beauty is being destroyed over time, if you take a look at the comparison between today’s vs the 70s its mind blowing
Composition?
"Air in G string" by Bach
Ther fish 1:12?
Whats this snake?
I found that wild too. Looks like the Olive Sea Snake. Apparently there are snakes in the ocean, randomly. Especially in the reefs.
Are these still alive?
They are for now Nick. Under increasing pressures from climate change and industry but the Ribbons are hanging in there.
S U P E R B !!!
Cheers!
