Bonjour Jeanne , je suis vraiment ravi que la vidéo vous ait procuré autant d'émotions, c'est précisément la raison pour laquelle je partage mes vidéos, cela permet comme vous le dites de réaliser la beauté du monde sous-marin et la nécessité impérieuse de le préserver. Merci du fond du cœur de l'avoir regardé et d'avoir partagé vos sensations 🙏
Wow! This short is ready for broadcast, I would say! Perfectly arranged video! You were lucky to have such a great visiblity. We've been to the Marsa Alam area more than 10 times now and just had this kind of good viz once or twice.
Stunning underwater videography; resplendent, the lighting, the colours achieved & the stabilization. No doubt excellent post editing also. Viewing your video with a 4K monitor,; some of the best underwater videography that I have seen.
Hi Ron , you kind comments are very gratifying and do thrill me . Funny thing is , i am currently editing a video about a diving trip i had in the Philippines last month but i have been struggling so hard to make it look good enough that i was on the verge of quitting . Your valuable reviews have boosted me to get back at it . Thank you very much Ron.
Incredible footage. I was completely blown away by the techniques and steadiness and experience. I'm inspired by many underwater filmmakers and their methods through experience. I enjoy recreational filming and learning of how to achieve that "buttery smooth" footage. Thanks for sharing, please continue!!
Hello Nesta . Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and thank you for having subscribed . It does take some experience and buoyancy skills but dedication is paramount . You obviously need good equipment and a strong editing software . Add some long and nerve wrecking editing hours, the support + stimulating great comments such as yours and you have all the ingredients for the final result ... even though I am never fully satisfied . Once again Many thanks
Hello Tamás . Thank you very much for your wonderful comments and for having subscribed , I really appreciate !!! I was quite surprised when I saw your name as my boss name is also Tamás K , funny coincidence.Take care
Unfassbar tolle Aufnahmen. Auch die Untermalung mit der Musik - habe es sehr genossen zuzuschauen. Darf ich fragen mit was für einer Kamera die Aufnahmen gemacht wurden? VG
Vielen lieben Dank für deine netten Worte. Wir haben uns sehr darüber gefreut. Und es stimmt natürlich, dass die dazu passende Musik eine große Rolle spielt. Wir haben eine Videokamera Sony AX100 mit einem Unterwassergehäuse Gates und Videolampen von Keldan benutzt.
WOW! EXCELLENT representation of diving in the Red Sea. I used to go from the Saudi Arabia side and it looked just like this. Ruined me for everywhere else.
My dear Michaela , you always find the nicest words to describe my videos. Thank you once more for your kind support , it is always much appreciated ! Take care
Great video, very well done! Love colors of your clips, music and compositions. My trip to Red Sea in August was canceled, and your video is a kind of substitution.
Hi Val . Nice to hear from you again and thrilled to read your positive feedback . I am sorry to learn that your trip was canceled . I was myself scheduled to go to Sudan and unfortunately it is canceled too . Let's hope for better days . On the other hand, i am thinking , we divers, are giving the marine environment a break at the moment and it must have a soothing effect on the ecosystem . Take care Val.
Namaste . I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtfulness and for putting a smile in my heart ! I am genuinely happy to share those videos with you . Have a good day Sherry .
Hello Matthias , Thank you very much for watching and for your appreciation. The lion fish is one of my favourite ones , it is so gracious ! Those were very cooperative 😊 playing with my lights to swallow their preys and it was actually easy to focus on their shadows as they were all over the place . I am glad you realised such details.

Indeed one of the best diving footages I ever seen. Keep the good work up. I wonder what lighting system did you use to bring such detailed photography.
Hi Petr , my sincere appreciation for your kind and astute comments . Your question is truly interesting because what is indeed the real essence of a dive ? To tell you you the truth I have been diving for a very long time and even used to work as a dive instructor . At that time , the goal was twofold , security for the students/clients and finding all kind of marine life for them to watch but I had no concern about filming. The more you dive the better you obviously know your environment and the species behaviour which helps for filming underwater . I have always loved diving whether I had to lead or for my own pleasure , with or without a camera . Nowadays , I do a lot of solo diving where I live in Malta which means I have long dives and ample time to alternatively film or simply enjoy the scenery . It gets trickier when on dive trips because I usually dive new spots for the first time , bottom time is reduced because you dive within a precise framework decided by the dive operation , your freedom is hence limited . In such cases I must admit that I sadly focus on filming , I still enjoy the dive but I realise that I miss out a lot . I sometimes even feel stupid trying to achieve the perfect shot when the real thing should be to hover and admire what is around you . Sorry Petr for my long and boring answer but I found your question too relevant to be disregarded . Thanks again and season greetings .
@@SearenityQuest Dear Yann, thank you for your long answer. I'm keen on diving and filming as well, unfortunately, I don't have so many opportunities to dive so often. There is a time I want simply relax underwater and sometimes there is the need to share the underwater experience. I'll be happy to see more nice videos!
Hi Sarah , I film with a Sony AX100 . I use a tripod on land and more than 25 years of buoyancy practise underwater. Thanks for your comments and for watching.
@@SearenityQuest As of version 8 the GoPro Action Cams have a very good stabilizer. To some extend you can also use the warp stabilizer in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Amazing footage! I'm curious with what kind of camera you recorded this. Nice to see some spots I have been. I now can't wait to be back this september! Keep it up!
Thank you very much for your nice comment ! That would depend whether you want a land-based operation or a liveaboard . I would recommend Red Sea diving safari in Marsa alam as a land based dive center
sorry to ask but i’m diving here soon, i love diving but in the places i’ve been before it’s very unlikely to see a shark, i’ve heard that it’s quite common to see them here. do sharks tend to bother divers?
Hi elllaruby x . . I really hope that you will then see a shark very soon for it is one of the most mesmerizing animal you can see underwater. Many types of sharks can be found indeed in the Red Sea. Thank you for your question but with all due respect , reality is exactly quite the opposite, as we, humans , are the intruders and the ones bothering the sharks . Never forget that those beautiful creatures were already navigating oceans and seas way long before Gagnan and Cousteau were born.The shark , i suppose that you are probably referring to is the notorious Oceanic white tip (Longimanus) which is known to be inquisitive .You also have to distinguish between coastal reefs and off shore reefs as the Longimanus by nature will rather be cruising the latter ones. So , if you want to avoid this shark at any cost do not dive offshore reefs such as Abu Hamra , the brothers and Abu Kizan. Otherwise , do not worrry as you will be briefed accordingly just like you would be briefed for example about the hazards of blue ringed octopus in other parts of the world.Last but not least the best way to debunk shark myths is to avoid mainstream media. I hope you will enjoy your dives in the magnificent Red Sea.
Thank you for your message Lennard . Even though some dive centers/ liveaboards take the foolish risk of bringing open water divers there , I would strongly recommend a minimum of an advanced certification and some solid experience in deep diving. Elphinstone is in the open sea , has vertical drop offs, unpredictable and sometimes strong currents and choppy waters at times.Perfect buoyancy is a prerequisite as you either drift or hover in the blue with great depths below. Diving Elphinstone requires utmost respect and humbleness , the tragic events of 2007 are a undisputed reminder of that . I hope that answers your question .
