Was just trawling TH-cam for some Decent HD to see how it looked on my iPad, came across this and was truly mesmerised, what a stunning location beautifully shot.
Can't imagine that a hundred people disliked this video. Maybe they should stop their medication. This video is awesome, viewed it in 720 HD and is just incredible. The detail and colors are something I am far from duplicating. Guess I should go ahead and book that SE Asian dive trip, if even half of what is shown is seen by me. Wonderful!!!
I particularly love that scene about about 1.46m in where the Whale Shark comes in from the right of the shot and is almost completly masked by the school of Barracuda's. I remember it was only noticed after reviewing the footage on the boat. Another good day diving with you in Myanmar!
I think that's the same dive I met a whale shark right at the end and blew 5 minutes of stops after failing to make my last 10 bar last for 20 minutes. Ended up burying my computer in my clothes to mute the beeping.
Bubble Vision Yeah, Black Rock starting the dive down at 50+ metres and on our way up a Whale Shark at 10-15 metres. Three dives and three Whale Sharks. You were always last back on the boat! facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152415066317813&l=9186df128c
The town is Kaw Thaung on the border opposite Ranong. The rest is in the Mergui Archipelago. The dives sites include Black Rock, Shark Cave, Western Rocky Island, Fan Forest Pinnacle.

This video is beautiful; I have always wanted to learn to Scuba and become PADI certified. I have gone snorkeling in the Bahamas and in Jamaica and was in awe. Thank you fro sharing this I love everything marine life.
Wow I love your videos. I am really interested in being a Marine Biologist when I grow up and I love watching these videos to see what it is like. Thanks for making these videos
Marine biology - Take biology at school then take a marine biology course at college/university. Marine filmmaking/photographer - Become a qualified diver through PADI etc. then get yourself a camera. There are underwater photography/videography courses but a lot is down to experience.
@prettynrich That boat is registered in Thailand and sails from Phuket. Most of the liveaboard boats that dive Myanmar actually start from Thailand. All the underwater shots in this video are from Myanmar.
@monywa2007 Nah,no fear. Those sharks and jellyfish are all docile as long as we behave ourselves. All footage shot from the Mergui archipelago in Burma. A really lovely place to dive and visit the mainland.
@Tharpless It's a mixture. I used a pair of halogen lights for some shots, and available light from the surface for others. Manual white balance helps the shots without lights.
That was really a beautiful video, i'm only 13 right now, but i want to be a marine biologist some day, trying to watch alot of videos like this, and research early, thanks for the vid.
@parasdim1 Thanks! The lights are Sunray Elite halogen lights. Not very bright at all, compared to the LED lights they make today. Most of my footage is shot without them.
Yes, fish sleep, but they don't close their eyes. They rest deeply. That's a tawny nurse shark "sleeping" during the day after hunting for food at night.
This is the HD version of a video I've already had up on TH-cam for a couple of years. I hope you like it. I hope it's worth the wait to click for the HD version (link is bottom right of the viewing window).
Watching this video made me once again realize how amazing Earth really is. We easily recognize animals and fish and take them for granted, but just watching the shark swim by at 2:41-3:15 made me see how things can be so alien. It looks completely different then anything else on Earth yet its graceful and almost lazy movement through the water shows that its body was well and purposefully made just for that reason. I am constantly amazed at the beauty all around us.
I am not a diver, however, my late uncle was and has pictures posted..some site that has lots of fish..I do not know. Non the less..great job and stay safe! I really appreciated the CC's information to know the kind of fish I was seeing. I always wonder what is going through fish minds..:) I guess something lile the Saturday night fever song "Staying Alive" :)
@monywa2007 , I think these pictures were taken at Kaw Thaung, which is only a few miles away from Ranong of Thailand. Therefore , the pictures were taken at the Thai-Burma border. The writings on the boat are in Thai Language .
Thanks for each of your videos! They are every bit as good, or better than anything we've seen on animal planet or BBC's Planet Earth. Awesome with a hundred exclamation points!!

dear Nick, Thank You for filming such a beautiful group of videos! Also Thanks for the CC so I can find out the names of all of those beautiful creatures. You made my day.
@mpalm1990 It's a juvenile red emperor snapper (Lutjanus sebae). In adulthood it loses the stripes and becomes solid pink. I love how it was using the lionfish as protection and the lionfish didn't seem at all bothered. I followed them for quite a while.
I love Burma (Myanmar)
Without this technology, the average person would never see this beauty. Thank goodness we have come this far!
Merci pour ces merveilles qui nous éloignent du quotidien, bien pâle en regard de cette magnifique vie sous-marine.. Surtout merci de partager.

Thanks! We left from Phuket in Thailand and visited Kaw Thaung to make the imigration to Myanmar.
Look at all that gorgeous life! How fantastic!
Truly beautiful. Looks like another Live-aboard excursion on my next Andaman trip.
Very nice video. Thank you for making all these and posting them for the world to see how beautiful and diverse the reefs are.

Loved the beginning, love the middle, just loved it all!!!
GOD IS GREAT! i am so thankful to enjoy the beauty of the world of myanmar ocean..

I just can say what the wonderful planet in Cosmo.......save our earth!

What an amazing place. The epitome of paradise.
@MusiccMaaniac It's Pterois volitans or Pterois miles, commonly known as a red lionfish, common lionfish, devil firefish or turkeyfish.
A wonderful reminder of how much there is to be protected! Beautiful work
impressive and beautiful, the shoegazing background track fits perfectly!
Amazing work! makes me want to go fishing...I mean scuba diving
Such a wonderful video of fascinating creatures! I love whale sharks and eels!
No just the above-water scenes in the town. The underwater footage is from various locations in the Mergui Archipelago.
Magnificent. The only negative thought I had was "will this be around in 50 years?"
Wow I love your videos. I am really interested in being a Marine Biologist when I grow up and I love watching these videos to see what it is like. Thanks for making these videos
This gets me really pumped. I'm going to take my class to get my cert in a couple weeks. I'm super excited to dive.
@MauricioGomezPino Oh sorry. This was the best footage from 28 dives.
Underwater is beautiful yet scary.. there's probably so much we've yet to see.
life under water is so beautiful
quelle belle vie sous la mer, tte sorte de beaux poissons -- merci pr cette vidéo --
absolutely beautiful! thanks for sharing! my 3 and 4-year old daughter and son enjoyed it so much!

My burmese friend told me that In Myanmar the city and beach is so terrific and nice.
And i wanna go there sometime too. from Thai friend : )

Fantastic, never seen before. Jag
Beautiful
Thanks. Sony Z1P camera in a Light & Motion Bluefin underwater housing.
Thanks. The intermittent current in that cave is more of a worry than the sharks.
Amazing! I love watching these with my toddler!
@monywa2007 Nah,no fear. Those sharks and jellyfish are all docile as long as we behave ourselves. All footage shot from the Mergui archipelago in Burma. A really lovely place to dive and visit the mainland.
I love the sea.
this looks so cool. almost like its animated. i wanna go there. even though the countries messed up
Most amazing video ive ever seen. i think i wudve shat myself if i saw the shark, the jellyfish, or any of the eels
Correct. At the time I missed it completely but saw it later in the same day
Great vid! Awesome shots and the music compliments it really well. I'm getting a serious travel itch now...
I find the ocean the most interesting place on earth. Look at thoose fishes. I saw a few of these in Egypt. A real life experience
OMG~!! I am a myanmar girl .. but i never wonder that my country would be that beautiful ^^ .. i am so proud :)
I thought this marvilous view very richness. Congratulations for this beauty and magnificent photografs in the deep of the ocean. J David
this is so nice .. i want to go back home now !!!
Notice Nick typed out (or copied and pasted) all the animal common and scientific names! Well done Nick!
Maravilloso!!!!
Stunning video work, and beautiful footage. Absolutely the reason that HD was developed. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, you really capture the beauty of every animal you film. Well done.
beautiful, great to see. Thanks!!!!!!

Yeah really is... and "we" are killing it! =(
Absolument ...........Superbe !!!!!
That was really a beautiful video, i'm only 13 right now, but i want to be a marine biologist some day, trying to watch alot of videos like this, and research early, thanks for the vid.
Absolutely stunning footage! Background music is very cool...fitting to the movement of the sea...
i dont even know why i'm watching this video but i liked it, thank you
@yayme2222 Yes it's a sea anemone with a Clark's anemonefish in it
@bubblevision ok. thx for the fast response.
@parasdim1 Thanks! The lights are Sunray Elite halogen lights. Not very bright at all, compared to the LED lights they make today. Most of my footage is shot without them.
ESPETACULAR! CONGRATULATIONS!

Increibles criaturas de nuestro oceano

Definately one of the coolest sports in the world - if only I had the money to go more often =)

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOOOOOOW !!!!!!!!!

@taxlawmax Varies. Typically down to about 25-30m at the start of the dives, or a bit deeper (40-45m) at Black Rock.
Breathtaking video...!!! Many thanks Ettore for sharing!
