Jake, this is the most incredible reef video outside of a National Geographic publication. Thank you for publishing this. I hope it wakes up people. Using coral for concrete production. Wow. A villager who could be paving the way for reef conservation. I hope this wakes up people that manage the environment via a desk. We can provide solutions and it might be as simple as planting coral frags that are around the region. Well done!!!
Beautiful video.. And Simon...... Your love, & kindness from your heart truly stands out in a world of greed & exploration, that all may enjoy.. Thank you!!!
This is the best reef channel on TH-cam! I love learning all of the proper scientific names as well as the stunning cinematography. I think this was what we all needed during these trying times. Thank you Jake!
Like I said before. You are today Jacques Cousteau in reef Aquarium. You make this hobby so much more educational. Their no limits what you bring to us. Awesome job
i was to do my scuba lesson this year and coronavirus decided to change things, so gonna experience it with jake behind a screen,cool!and i have to thank jake immensely here, his reply to my comment while i was struggling meant a lot to me and gave me the push to go into success path, thank you jake!, i'm waiting to meet you a day and do great things! a young fan of jake adams
Jake your videos never cease to amaze me, between you and Than at Tidal Gardens I have learned most of knowledge of coral, and when someone gets me going on my reef I can talk for hours. I wouldn't have that knowledge without you guys. Thanks for working to showcase the efforts of people like Simon, his attitude and the work that he has done shows off what can be done if coral is given space to grow and love. Keep up the great work!
The part about 10.30 to 11.30 must be the most stunning beautiful sea images I have ever seen.. I would sacrifice so much to go there and see this.. I literally cry real tears of happiness right now that some people care to make this stay with us into the future. I have so much respect for the life in my litle 60g reef now and I will love the shit out of every litle piece of life in it even more.
Wows super fantastic video... I'm feeling that I'm under waters looking corals .... After this all over I'm thinking going there see my own eyes... Sir Thanks again..
This is so beautiful to see! It's a shame that cameras can't actually capture the true beauty of these underwater treasures, I know the cameras are getting better but it's still something you need to witness in person to truly appreciate the wonderful natural colors.
Jake, I love it when you take us along on your reef dives. However that red light on your camera makes everything look RED... But that's forgiving as I will never be able to scuba dive, so, THANKS !!! for giving us a chance to see what we're missing.
Really enjoyed the video. Great quality and really good commentary on what were looking at. Do you have any still photographs from your dives? Would love to see them too?!
That is truly amazing! Were you able to bring any clippings home with you? If so I would love to see a video with them in an aquarium setting under aquarium LED lighting.
I run plasma lighting on my reef and man the colour looks very close to the shallow water environment, however most of what you shots look like it was done under T5 lighting, it makes me wonder why T5 is still the boss when it comes to SPS. Thank you for the awesome experience, I hope to go diving this year after my health gets better.
Watching this, paying attention the the little specks of "marine snow" passing by these colonies and realizing how toned down the flow is. As I wait for another 4k gph powerhead to be delivered today. Man we barely know what we're doing. Self will run rampant.
Lovely corals, I wish I had known about Simons project when I was at Roderick Bay a couple of months ago, would liked to have visited, which bay is it?
I was looking through the comments to see who pointed it out. I knew I couldn't be the only one to see it. I didn't realize corals had an ethnicity, but that one was definitely Jewish.
Can people like this comment as I would like to communicate that there is a program out there that preforms color correction for the camera making the video more accurate. I don't believe it can be applied to the videos already created as it needs a color profile next to coral to reference. It would create a more immersive experience for us and you only need the licensing to use it.
Heard Simon say they destroy corals to make lime, but there's so many coral skeletons it seems that with a little bit more effort they could get plenty of material to make lime with without destroying the living corals.
@@Mike__B On no, they already have limestone blocks in the form of big heads of Porites to use as building material, which is how virtually all jetties and boat ramps are built.
@@ReefBuildersVideo Good lord, good thing we have people like Simon. But I can't really judge them for that, it's their world not mine, they're using what nature supplies them on their isolated little islands
@@ReefBuildersVideo jake i just found it by emailing brightwell aquatics, they said CWM is for colder water upto 40 fahrenheits , I'm getting some reef roids!
You cite scale and highlight how big this reef is but you should talk about the fact that your on a fraction of a small percent of the worlds oceans that have reef this healthy
Another epic video Jake left us and the world to enjoy, forever! Thank you, Brother! 🤓🤘
Keep coming back to this video, just amazing
This is Professional Documentary quality. Well done Jake
His English is on freaking point. GREAT INTERVIEW BROTHA.
Absolutely! This video needs to be on Netflix.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful seascape. Simon is to be commended for all he’s done.

So happy there are people who care about reefs and actually do something to make them even better 💪 Respect, beautiful reef
Simon is quite amazing. Some beautiful corals in this location.
Wow I almost didn't recognize those Blue Green Chromis. So vivid and full of color!
In these depressing times I appreciate the longer videos, thanks Jake.
Awesome! Ive never dived a reef before. Looking forward to doing it someday! Great vid!
Glad there are people out there like Simon.
Phenomenal production quality and content! Definitely a much needed distraction here in quarantine!
Oh my.. can we give this man "Tank of the Month" award? No, wait.. Tank of the Year award!

I love how aggressively the corals are being handed here meanwhile at home I’m losing my mind when I drop it on the sand
HOW BEAUTIFUL was this and how AWESOME IS SIMON
What a wonderful video to watch during the lockdown! Thank you for the footage
Absolutely AMAZING. What an experience. Thanks for sharing this!🙏
outstanding video quality, clarity, angle, editing. Takes years of experience and work. Good job.
This is the best video about diving and corals I have seen. I really liked it!
what a superb video

Your knowledge of reefs blow my mind!
Excellent video Jake! I wish there were more videos depicting the natural reefs like this.
Wow, just spectacular
Best video of all time❤❤❤❤
What a fantastic video! How this man could made such a paradise !!! Hope someone help him to live on corals setting a farm.
well done Jake, this was very much needed to see.
So happy i saw this video
That was absolutely awesome!!!!!
That’s absolutely beautiful.
What a great dive video!
We need 1000 more Simon in the world!
Wows super fantastic video... I'm feeling that I'm under waters looking corals .... After this all over I'm thinking going there see my own eyes... Sir Thanks again..
Lovely nice work.
Thanks Jake for sharing this it's so beautiful. Bet it was breathtaking in person. New sub!!
This is truly heaven! 🤿🤿🤿🤩🤩🤩
Excellent video Jake! What an amazing place
Holy moly that Acropora Speciosa at 12:09 is jaw-dropping. I re-watched it multiple times
Keep up the good work Jake. That was a beautiful reef. Maybe we see some those coral in our own reef aquariums.
This is what we need!...Not people fighting over politics!...Our planet is dying!...Get it together people!
This is the best video I have seen describing each coral with their scientific name!! It beats Planet Earth by David Attenborough!!
This is so beautiful to see! It's a shame that cameras can't actually capture the true beauty of these underwater treasures, I know the cameras are getting better but it's still something you need to witness in person to truly appreciate the wonderful natural colors.
This was awesome to watch!
Awesome Jake
Amazing! Thanks for sharing man !!!
Almost like paradise !!!
Great editing! Fantastic video!
fantastic
nice to see such healthy reef,s..ps if you see any angelfish ,how about some footage of them :)
Jake, I love it when you take us along on your reef dives. However that red light on your camera makes everything look RED... But that's forgiving as I will never be able to scuba dive, so, THANKS !!! for giving us a chance to see what we're missing.
Amazing video. I like the lighting, but something I noticed is how slow the flow is at this reef
wow wow
Jake if you ever go back out that way take a pit stop in the Cook Islands! A lot of really pretty table acros in the lagoons.
Been dying to go to Cooks for decades, will definitely try to make it work one day
I like the shallow reef the best!
Awesome vid Jake!
AAARRRGGHHH!!! Hate you man! LOL!
Thanks so much for sharing. Gotta love ACROS!
Really enjoyed the video. Great quality and really good commentary on what were looking at.
Do you have any still photographs from your dives? Would love to see them too?!
love it
That is truly amazing! Were you able to bring any clippings home with you? If so I would love to see a video with them in an aquarium setting under aquarium LED lighting.

Man we barely know what we're doing. Self will run rampant.
Started watching this and went, "Dude, I gotta find the rest of this playlist!"
Great vid jake!
Amazing Video!!! 😲👌
Simon has the best tank ever.
Lovely corals, I wish I had known about Simons project when I was at Roderick Bay a couple of months ago, would liked to have visited, which bay is it?
Thank you Jake and Simon for doing what you do.
I love it!!!🤩🤩🤘🏼
Amazing 😍😍😍😍
🐠♥️🦈♥️🐟♥️🐋♥️🐳♥️ beuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful!
nice 😊
Need some Simon Purple Monster and Purple Formosa!
9:25 what kinda blue damsels with the yellow spot?
That pectinia is gorgeous
*Funny, I don't see any disco techno blue light glow in the dark corals down there...*
Have you been to Raja Ampat?? I think that’s the name. It’s on the east side of Papua New Guinea I believe. Astounding
30:45 What's the black fish on top?
Jake when you go diving are corals really growing in mainly blue light or white? From video looks white?
Like your video!!
Beautiful! What Camera and what editing program did you use?
GH5 + FCPX and a lot of TIME
Awesome video... we’re just all gonna say nothing about the coral @24:35 huh...? 😂
I was looking through the comments to see who pointed it out. I knew I couldn't be the only one to see it. I didn't realize corals had an ethnicity, but that one was definitely Jewish.
11:40 that moorish idol in the bottom lest corner is so beautiful

Only for photo as far as I know, yet
God i miss diving
Heard Simon say they destroy corals to make lime, but there's so many coral skeletons it seems that with a little bit more effort they could get plenty of material to make lime with without destroying the living corals.
They want specific types of corals to make lime, which is used to activate the alkaloids of beetlenut which they chew for a buzz
@@ReefBuildersVideo ooooooooh, I thought it was because they were trying to make some concrete type of substance for building.
@@Mike__B On no, they already have limestone blocks in the form of big heads of Porites to use as building material, which is how virtually all jetties and boat ramps are built.
@@ReefBuildersVideo Good lord, good thing we have people like Simon. But I can't really judge them for that, it's their world not mine, they're using what nature supplies them on their isolated little islands
Please be safe during this corona pandemic
Mantap💙
I need to go diving again
jake what is the difference between microbacter 7 nd microbacter cwm? and can we use reef roids for all sps?
I don't really know the difference between the 7 & CWM, but yes RR is suitable for all corals really
@@ReefBuildersVideo jake i just found it by emailing brightwell aquatics, they said CWM is for colder water upto 40 fahrenheits , I'm getting some reef roids!

💯💯💯👏👏👏 👌 🙏🙏🙏
that moment the fish's house is bigger than yours
