Mucky Secrets (full) - The Marine Creatures of the Lembeh Strait
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2024
- "Mucky Secrets" is a documentary about the marine life of the Lembeh Strait at the heart of the Coral Triangle off north Sulawesi in Indonesia.
The Lembeh Strait is a popular scuba diving destination, famed for its excellent "muck diving". A huge diversity of exotic marine creatures can be found on the mucky seabed, including everything from tropical fish to benthic sharks to nudibranchs. Critters compete for survival with an armoury including camouflage, mimicry, toxicity, and dazzling coloration.
"Mucky Secrets" is an excellent resource for scuba divers, aquarists, and marine biology students. The documentary features underwater macro footage from many of Lembeh's famous dive sites including Critter Hunt, Police Pier, Tanjung Kusu-Kusu, Nudi Falls, Aer Perang, Jahir, Makawide, Nudi Retreat, Retak Larry, TK (Teluk Kembahu), Hairball and Aw Shucks.
There are subtitles/CC tracks for the narration and for the scientific and common names of the marine species, and dive site names.

This is not an insult by any means, but I watch this to fall asleep at night. So calm and beautiful.
I do the same 😩
I fell asleep watching something else and woke up to this
@@Lolzmira73 lol 😂
Same because i love you. 😘😘
Its his voice
When I watch underwater documentaries, I feel like I have had some sort of hallucinogenic drug 😂 I just get mesmerized and submerged into the diver’s and narrator’s experience. This particular doc has a even more soothing and trippy effect due to spectacular videography and narrator’s tone and voice pitch. Loved it. ❤
Lol try it with a VR headset it's absolutely amazing!
@@angelacollins7695 will do!!
I have multiple sclerosis, so at night I smoke a little bit of somethin' somethin' before bed that enhances the experience of watching these beautiful videos, they are definitely a stress reducer! And just so incredibly beautiful!
@@TheStormey I’ll try a little bit of somethin’ somethin’ next time 😎

Thank you so very much for sharing this incredible world with those that can't visit it.
Yes! My thoughts exactly!
Lĺ⁰p
I cannot believe this was made almost 8 years ago! This was one of the best documentaries I've watched about the ocean, and the fact you got most, if not all of the footage yourself?! I am extremely impressed! Thank you so much for this!
It is fascinating and long too, very high quality content....
@@onazram1 100% agree. I was so shocked when I looked down and saw when this video was released! It was such an amazing watch, and I absolutely loved how he sectioned everything out
@@amberm8574 Don’t look down. You’ll always be disappointed.

I hope, after these years, it is still as depicted...or better. Wish the location could have been kept a secret somehow to protect from
•sea enemies•*.
Only controlled access to those who treasure the role of
•sea anemones•.
Grateful to those who produce grand pieces like this and promote for awareness/conservation rather than advertising/consumption.
Thank you from one who wouldn't have ever known of, let alone will ever experience IRL, the majority of the species.
* Example of 'sea enemies' Anyone involved in the wanton destruction of any living creature, over-harvesting by any means, selling for profit, of ANY species, not just those on the IUCN Red list.
This has to be one of the most high quality bits of self-produced HD marine videography I've ever seen. The detail and crispness of the rendering in 720p is simply mind blowing.
Yeah, agreed.
Captivating.
Super impressive.
I believe this to be the clearest and most informative sea animal documentary ever. The producers have taken the prodigious with efforts to learn, study and present a very important review of thousands of species of creatures about which I knew nothing. What a gift they have given. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA
Yes but OMG I got 2 likes not including mine thx
I thought that very thing
This is like BBC quality
I've watched dive videos for 50 years and I've never seen one that even approached this for variety, explanation or sheer amazement that doesn't stop.The narration is excellent. Thanks
just imagine the TH-cam of the future in about 5 years! So many 4K videos are going to go available, but still, pixels cannot fully compensate for scenario and nice narration, and good camera work!
YES THIS IS AMAZING..PROVES THERE'S A GOD MAD THE EARTH AND HUMANS WITH A BRAIN
You filmed these independent? That's amazing! Just the knowledge alone is astonishing,now this is something worth every penny.
@@user-nt4ed5gc1z Did you cut and paste this comment? Some else said the same thing verbatim.

This is, hands down, the best privately made documentary I've ever seen, and one of the best documentaries on the Sulawesi reefs/Lembeh strait, period. One of my dreams is to get my diving cert and go here to see the adorable tiny frogfish and if I'm lucky, a flamboyant cuttlefish!
Thank you so much for sharing this for all of us to see. It's absolutely beautiful. I wish I could contact you and ask you all about how you were able to do all of this and what equipment is necessary to get into macro marine photography like you do!
Thank you very much. Good luck with getting your diving cert. To get the most out of somewhere like Lembeh and to refine your diving skills, I'd suggest doing a fair bit of blue water / non-muck diving first. For underwater video you can get started with a simple camera. There is a page with details of my current rig here (but this video was shot in 2007 with my old Sony Z1P): www.bubblevision.com/underwater-cameraman/equipment.htm

I was at a large grocery story, and noticed some packages of cuttlefish being sold. I took a package up to the front desk and complained - telling the lady that the store should not sell cuttlefish. She grinned sweetly and told me to look closer at the label. I did. It said 'codfish.' I had misread the label, ha ha.
You showed me that raspberry seahorse. Chef Cat sold love to make him into a raspberry cream dessert....or is it poisonous? Then no way.
How can some people thumbs down a documentary like this. There are really still a lot of people who are so Dumb and don’t know how to appreciate BEAUTY. Feel so sorry for you folks.
Sooooo true
THIS is how documentaries should be done! No annoying music, people talking about irrelevant info etc. ! bravo
I take issue with Jas Coasttocoast's comment: "No annoying music..." At 4:06 the drum started up and 4 minutes later at 8:06 I'd had had it with that noise pollution and stopped the video for three reasons. (1) to abandon the video; (2) to post this comment and: (3) to click the downward pointing thumb icon from 224 to 225.
@@fritzstehr you are the definition of petty and annoying . I didn't even hear the part your talking about cause I was focused on what he was saying
@@fritzstehr you are just don't know a good video, even when it slaps you in the face.
What is the music at "11:07" ?
Agreed Jas. Watch videos about deep sea creatures or else things like nudibranchs, frogfish, jawfish, starfish, urchins, corals opening etc they seem to always use music like The Thing or Alien horror/scifi soundtracks.
While that's cool and all, love those movies, at times something more upbeat where they're not "scary", just fascinating as they are in real life is better imo.
I can't believe there is such exceptional free content on TH-cam! Bravo!!!
Amazing right!?
@Jacob Gonzalez Narrator has suggestions above that are free that will help him exponentially .
The photography is amazing. This is one of the best documentaris I've watched in years. Proper use of the english language is refreshing aswell
Welcome & 4yrs in? Watch film The Ox-Bow Incident. Superb.
I have been to Lembeh twice. I attest to the amazing creatures that have evolved so that they can thrive in this inhospitable environment. This high-quality documentary makes me both learn the science that studies these species and, mainly, go back to do a lot more muck diving.
As informative as Wikipedia and as relaxing as ASMR. This video is the perfect combination that I keep returning to. I'm not sick of it even after over three years since I found it.
I started this video intending to only watch 15 minutes or so to wind down and go to sleep but DANG it was so interesting the WHOLE TIME I didn’t even realize an hour and a half had gone by! Such a diverse group of life forms I’m in awe. Seems like a dangerous place to dive if you don’t know your stuff, what with all of the poisonous things around!
Omg I finally found this video again! I’ve been searching for a while and I didn’t even remember that I had commented!
@@gottabesandi good
This is a MUST WATCH video for those of us who keep reef tanks and dive the Indio-pacific. The photography is amazing and the description of each creature is Top Notch! The area where each creature is found is well documented and shows just how much phytoplankton saturation abounds there.
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did. I couldn't stop watching, front to back! Booyeah!
I would 💕😘 to dive one day!!!🧝🏰🎇🧞♀️🛶😁
I beg to differ in the kindest way possible ;)..... It's definitely for just ANYONE and EVERYONE , of all ages!!!!❤😊
This is one of the most incredible undersea documentaries that I have seen... And I have seen many, starting with Jaques Cousteau, when I was a child! This documentary features creatures I haven't seen, or was even aware of. The diversity shown and photography are awesome.
Live action finding Nemo? Beautiful.
But seriously this documentary must have received several awards it’s so well shot and the narrators voice is so soothing 🙂
As a member of edasset and a plastic bag fighter for 20 years this is amazing and should be on every school curriculum to show them WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE - Tony Langham in SALISBURY,UK
AMEN!!!! I concur!
Wow, such beautiful creatures. I love the ocean. When I was younger, I used to want to be a mermaid so badly. I eventually got over that phase but I'll never grow out of loving the ocean. It's just so beautiful.
Aquatic ape hypothesis. IMO this is probably real and why so many people fell like they "should" really be mermaids.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ape_hypothesis
My personal opinion is that all of us don't have it, because what actually happened is there was a hominid branch that went nearly full-mermaid and we raped them, so some people got a lot more of this while others simply don't like or need the water.
🧞♀️🎇🪄
I watch 100s of nature documentaries (work with university natural sciences dept.) and Mucky Secrets is my favorite-all the more amazing for seemingly being an independent project, not a studio release. The videography is top tier, it showcases a fascinating part of the undersea world, and it features 100s of species with brief, interesting commentary on each one. I return to it again and again.
Doesn't have David Attenborough narrating though... Would have been 5 stars if it did.
... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
From the sheer variety and volume of creatures filmed ... the stunning and cinematic quality of the incredible plethora of marine life ... with close-ups captured in exquisite resolution ... to the crisp, succinct and obviously well reseached narration ... this documentary is outstanding.
If you have not watched it ... you are missing out on a revelatory slice of life , a hidden and magnificent ecosystem ... never captured before in such immaculate, patient and loving detail ... undergirded by a finely sharpened, educated intellect, able to articulate .and amplify and give even more meaning to the stunning images on screen with is ever-dry
Thank you to the filmmaker for your wonderful wotk.
A remarkable piece of film.
No
This is by far the best original content I've ever seen on YT.
I'm pretty sure it's not content, just nature
Yes, he's amazing, isn't he?
Agreed 👍
I don't know how many times I have watched this, but every time is as amazing as the 1st time.
Same here and agreed!
Thank you so so much for the effort and care you took in accumulating and disseminating this rare look into an otherwise unknown world. We are so lucky to have researchers like you and whoever else contributed to this project.
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL..
JUST AMAZING MAN,,,
THE BEST OF NATURE WATCH.
NEVER GET TIRED OF IT.
THE NARRATER'S VOICE IS PURE MAGIC,,, SOOO RELAXING!!!!!ZZZZZz
You filmed these independent? That's amazing! Just the knowledge alone is astonishing,now this is something worth every penny.
one of the best documentaries on YT, even better than the BBC. this guy deserves an award.
I agree with others who are saying this is probably the best nature documentary I have ever seen. This is indeed how it should be done. Just perfect.
There are species of sea creatures that I've never seen before in this video. God's creation never ceases to amaze me! Beautiful
This is my country Indonesia. Sticks, wood and stones can become plants here. I'm so grateful to live in this peaceful and beautiful country, especially the people who are very friendly and the most respecful, I really love the people here..🧡
You're extremely blessed!
Blessed to be surrounded by such beautiful creatures and kind people and just peaceful. I'd love that I'd love to get out of Dirty Jersry for once just to travel never been on a plane I'm 27 took my first train at 18 to NYC to the club posh with friends no idea where I was lol but I wanna travel see news things try new foods even
Agreed, I'd love to live somewhere like this
@@aleksandramoondancer9496 I'd love to at least visit once definitely on my bucket list I wanna travel and see beautiful and all kinds of cool things and creatures
@@gem3506 You can......it will take the perfect time, but you will - just keep that goal in mind. Our minds are as powerful as we make it to be. Our power comes from the universe, I'm convinced of that and have been for almost 50 years. I'm 64 now! Much love to you!
This is amazing. The level of diversity in the ocean is mind boggling.
This is undoubtedly one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and Lord knows, I’ve seen loads! The photography in this video is stunning, and I love and really appreciate that you went to the trouble of showing Fish in their different maturities. Many congratulations - we are so lucky to have people as talented as you make these programmes. May you continue to make many more!
This is one of the best underwater films that I've ever seen- thank you!!
This program is exceptionally good. The creatures are certainly among the strangest and most unexpected. Love the soft warm voice of the narrator and appropriate music that softens whenever he speaks. A wonderful production.
Nick, I have watched literally tens of thousands of documentaries. This is HANDS DOWN the best, most informative, well shot undersea doc I have ever seen.....well, aside from your first doc. REMARKABLE! THANK YOU!
try "Diving in Bali"
and Cuttlefish: Kings of Camouflage
I couldn't agree more!
Literally 10's of 1000's? Literally? With that being at least 20,000 documentaries, you literally must not know the definition of "literally"... though your opinion on this documentary is a very sound judgement, figuratively.
@@skandababy Or maybe you have misread the comment? It could be she means of the thousands of documentaries which exist, she has watched 10's of them.
Best sea documentary I've ever found. Been falling asleep to this almost every single night for over a year. I know almost every word verbatim Love love this. Thank you to the divers and the narrator
Ifix
Oi is
Diver snd narrator are one and the same. He is also a marine biologist. I think his name is Nick.
An exceptional documentary. Appreciation for your so enjoyable production. Also to natures Creator. Thank You!
Wow! This was beautiful to watch! I watch a lot of documentaries on fish and ocean life but saw so many different kinds of fish I've never even heard of. It was absolutely beautiful to see. Thank you 👍👍
This seriously brings me peace. I've been watching this for years now. I turn this on when I need background noise to sleep. I watch this with my friends when we are chilling. I show my parents this. I show my patients this. every time I watch this I research the fish and nudibranchs. SO beautiful and soothing,NEVER GETS OLD EVER.

Likewise, I was impressed after only a short while in.
This documentary must have taken a lot of work to place together in its editing style and information. It is very well done and I enjoy it. I like the music, it is very relaxing and not overwhelming against the narrator. This is very good quality.
You are very young!
@@el-etguincorrales9983 While I was reading your reply. the narrator was referring to a Boxfish and said "This is a very young Boxfish....." Just thought that was fun that I was reading your reply at the same time the Narrator said the same thing.
That's like an underwater gallery full of artworks. So colourful.
Isn't it thou? Amazing our creator did all of this just baffles me and still dose even when things are explained how do they all know what to do how to move instincts yea part of it but what else just amazing
Gods artwork😇 every thing he create is a masterpiece
11:34 this is so COOL! the way they see the world must be breathtaking
You think that's what they would call a permanent acid trip?😂❤
Man I wish we got more of these. i get they’re hard to make, and the man hasn’t uploaded in 4 years. This and the Andaman video are the best documentaries I’ve ever seen
This is what yt should be used for.
This is fascinating.
The shot at 2:35 invoked a strange reaction for me. The mixture of the ancient scenery and modern structures made me consider just how long modern society has existed and how fragile it is - in a way that I've never looked at it before. One of those shots that will stay with me forever because of the unique emotions it invoked.
This is probably the best marine documentary on TH-cam absolutely superb footage! 👍
Uneducated title and commentary saying nature has creatures 🐘🦁🐺🦏 show some respect 🦉🌏
It would be impossible with words, to thank you all for producing this magnificent work of immense, (public relations ), and scientific value. Perfect addition to lectures, for inspiring, students. I have been enthralled, amazed, nurtured, and in love with the oceans all my 62 years. After 50 years of Jaques Cousteau, David Attenborough, hundreds of books, snorkeling from the Andaman, to Newfoundland , to Florida, and the Pacific North West, this blows them all away with the sheer beauty, diversity, unearthliness, magnificence.
I believe if you could put an ichthyologist, or other expert in thousands of class rooms, for even a day around the world, you would instantly light a fuse to ignite a science explosion among you audience. Imagine lighting that kind of fire, around the world and the explosion of talent, realization, and passion. Thank you for a magnificent journey, Please don't forget the poor people who can't afford to spend a lot. They could one day be the billionaire that funds, the oceanographic international school aboard a repurposed container ship. Let's hope that billionaire comes along soon. Thanks.
Surprised by how many creatures new to me. Well paced, beautifully filmed, written and narrated. I hope the dive sites and increased revenue to locals will help preserve this natural treasure.
Mindblower... wonderfully made...thnx so much for all your excellent excursions into the deep, and for hypnotizing me from time to time, to a world far beyond comprehension, so much so in fact, it is like outer space or alien worlds! Forget leaving Earth orbit.... it's all right here!!

Why TH-cam recommend this just now? 😕
This best underwater documentary I've ever watch.
Since my childhood I've been watching marine biology documentaries, never like this, I've seen life in a strange universe as varied and beautiful like this. I hope you make some more documentaries.
omg this is a real free documentary posted by the owner !!!! Thanks !!!!!

Hello, dear one.
You make my favorite sealife videos.
You are a very effective teacher.
Your use of music is incredible and very much appreciated.
Have a lovely and safe weekend.
God bless you.
😍I’ve wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a kid
Wow, this documentary is the best i've seen. When I finished it, I re-watched it, and it was just as fabulous, the second time around. There is so much information, that I caught things I missed on the first viewing. Fabulous. Do not understand the the 1.2K thumbs down. Are you kidding?

The photography is amazing. This is one of the best documentaris I've watched in years. Proper use of the english language is refreshing aswell
Hands down best documentary I've ever since no joke
Well done. Very informative. Excellent camera work and narrating.
I work at convenience store in the mall,, bored out of my mind everyday, thank God we have a flat screen TV and a laptop so I can stream these videos all day. :D
Thanks Bubble Vision, you've kept my sanity in check for these past couple years.
+Dylan Gibson Thanks. Nice to know where my stuff gets seen. I love this type of feedback :) Producing some new stuff now but it's going to be a while.
every day*
everyday = an adjective meaning commonplace
I have just sat transfixed for an hour and a half watching this amazing documentary. You have covered so many species and so much information that you don't get on a T.V. programme. Thank you so much. I am certainly going to watch some of your others.
By far the best footage of small marine creatures ever filmed and compiled
Best documentaries I have ever seen. You name species and talk about it in a concise the way that describes quickly but withe a good amount of information. There's seems to be nothing else like this on you tube.
Nothing like this even in the documentary world! Most of them are way more Cinematic than informative.
Thank You so very much for these wonderful videos. Straight right up my old alley! The Ocean is my favorite place to be spending ANY TIME, "Day-Night, good weather, or bad" I LOVE IT!
God Bless This Channel! NZ. ✌❤😁🤗🌲
Absolutely brilliant I have actually been binge watching this over and over again thank you your narration is awesome and the subject matter is top quality
What a magnificent documentary. I can't get enough of these. I have to say this one is one of the best. I am a diver and am amazed at how much damage is being done to the planets reefs. I've dove many times in Indonesia and can't believe more isn't being done to protect the reefs. Don't they know that is why tourist come. Also stop the trade of fish. Leave the fish on the reef, not in aquarium's. Some species are being decimated. I find that a real crime. Also in Indonesia they need to stop all the garbage from going into the ocean. Especially plastics. That also has a really bad impact on the reef. Love Indonesia and it's people. So kind. Please do something to protect you reefs.
This has got to be the absolute best film and narrative in the most amazing environment that i will never visit but have now seen in superb clarity. I hope this film won awards.
This is mind blowing! This documentary is incredible! We just discovered this film today and we we're blown away. Great work! Amazing!
I have watched this documentary hundreds of times and it keeps getting better and i keep picking up new information. Very informative and interesting! Its a must watch for anyone with an interest in sea life, coral and small creatures. Love it!!
although I already knew the aquatic world was full of wonders, this is once again a fascinating eye-opener! thanks
The best documentary I have seen so far in this platform. Most lack professionalism, while this one is high class. Congrats!
This is the best documentary I've ever watched!
This is more informational then any underwater videos I have seen. Thank you for taking the time to share this documentary with us. I have learned so much from watching this video . I have never seen so many different kinds of fish, coral, shrimp. Etc etc. etc.
You have done an amazing job producing this video.
Best Documentary Ever !! !!!!! I watch this every Saturday xxx thx
Thx who ever liked my comment
I cannot fathom why someone would dislike this video
I love this Doc..So well done with soothing music and narration..The animals were stunning, most I have never seen before, and explained wonderfully..Treat yourself to a lovely time with this well done film!
This is an excellent documentary. The numerous WOW moments are incredible and the information is given in an easy to understand way. I liked having the subtitles below each animal. I also enjoy the way it's broken up into species. I'll likely go back and watch some of my fav parts again. I shared on my fb wall so others can see the marvels in the much.
You’ve chosen a lovely career path for which I’m jealous of. I’m grateful for people like yourself.
BEST SCUBA UNDERSEA LIFE VIDEO EVER!!!! SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE, IT'S MESMERISING!
incredible documentary; extremely well-made, filled with beauty and awe, really appreciate you putting this out and all the work put into it
I agree. And I appreciate that the various fish,mollusks and snails are announced. I enjoy the narrator's voice. I've watched this many times.
This is amazing im in high school and im going to be graduating in 2 years and im going to college for marine biology and I can't wait because I'll be able to work around these beautiful creatures life is amazing and I can't believe these creatures exist its so fascinating.
I used to watch this on loop for hours when i was a little kid like 8 years ago so happy i found it again
Najlepsze filmy o podmorskiej faunie i florze. Jestem zaszokowana bogactwem życia pod wodą. Dziękuję za wzruszenia, których doznaję oglądając.
It makes me sad to think about the amount of this corral that is dying off due to this year's El Niño. This is the best video on YT and even beats the BBC which is an impossible task.
My accident I clicked on your video. I have never ever seen or heard of these forms of sea life. Amazing video work.
I LOVE this octopus (4:26)! It looks like he's moved into a glass bottle home, and is quite content! Great windows, see everything, yet no one can get through to you!
Excellent underwater photos Nick Hope! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! This is such an amazing piece of work! This is far better than anything I’ve seen on discovery or Nat Geo. No dramatization, no annoying host hogging screen time, so many species covered with so much information! I would love to see you cover more locations.
Amanda, thank you very much for your kind comments on this and my Reef Life of the Andaman documentary. I have plenty of new footage and hope to make more documentaries with it soon.
"Hooolly Mackerel !" 10th 20th time i've watched this, and ready for more. This collection of videos, is without a doubt one of the all time most enjoyable, most fascinating, most "scientifically useful " videos I have ever seen. I have always carried my snorkel gear, wet suit, and weight belt with me everywhere I go, from the Andaman, to Newfoundland, Puget sound, to the Gulf of Maine, Florida to Monterey going back to the days of Jacque Cousteau. "Every single time", I have poked my little head under that water I have made earth shattering discoveries, that were never recorded. "Now we can!". The hard work of analysis will come, but close observation in the environment is invaluable. Thanks for using the basic scientific names, and names of processes, IE (commensal). It's so important for every human layman, and scientist to understand as much as they can about our magnificent oceans, and planet. It is the communal obligation of each and every one of us to school ourselves on the condition of our shared life support system. Who knew so much beauty could be found in the trash at the bottom of the straight?
Very well put! Our world and universe chokes me up every time I see all the beauty that surrounds us.
That's about a C+
ive watched this 75 times
This video is one of the best under water documentaries that I have ever seen. I have watched wildlife documentaries all my life and from that I have gained a real admiration and respect for all life, so I really love documentaries like this one. Its always shocking and exciting that after all these years that I can still see new forms of life that I have never seen before.
The narration is expertly done and very informative. Its videos like this that blow me away at just how much life there is on our planet and the diverse complexities of it. Its utterly mind stagger to think about ALL the life that is around us from botany life to animal life and ALL the special niches that each living thing has. Its videos like this that really proves to me that life was created from a being that is far, far beyond our understanding. The evolution theory could not have been responsible for such a VAST amount of life with extreme diversities and such incredible complexities. I do believe in a form of evolution in that life can adapt to it's surroundings for survival but that change outside of man kinds interference is from the one who created life to begin with. It blows my mind that intelligent people still cling to the theory that ALL life some how evolved from a puddle of primordial ooze and if you think it came from the big bang theory then I would ask, where did the big bang come from then? To believe that from NOTHINGNESS came the entire universe as we know, I feel is the result of willful blindness to where all things really came from.
Wow I learn so much new things about all these creatures I never knew existed magnificent
"Mucky Secrets" - THE WHOLE THING!
Following on from the series, here is my full documentary about the fascinating marine life of the Lembeh Strait in Indonesia.
For 90 minutes I explore the amazing range of weird and wonderful creatures that make the Lembeh Strait a hot spot for marine biodiversity and a unique muck diving destination.
A huge amount of work went into this. Please share/comment/like here or on TH-cam to help it reach a wider audience.

Amazing, wonderful work! On par with BBC docs. Thank you for sharing this, it is truly a service to mankind. Very few people would ever see these wonders of nature otherwise.
Incredibly enjoyable to watch , , such splendid video & narration without all that wordy gurdy schtuff too many practice , , will definitely watch again & again , , , too bad can only "like" once , so I'll have to share with others whom I hope will enjoy as much ,
Damn...
I watched it twice! Both times, caught unawares by the length, but absolutely not caring.
This is an heartfelt tribute to this ecosystem, and it shows!
May you enjoy many dives, and thank you so very much for your sharing your love!
Peace
the information and incredibly odd species in this documentary is outstanding! Why didn't we have this type of documentary 20 or even 30 years ago? the world needed this a long time ago.

@@sharonwolfe5210 And before that Hans and Lottie Hass.
This is incredible. Having spent an extensive amount of time snorkeling in this region of the world it was great to see all of these creatures rounded up in one video!! Thank you!!!!
I love so much your accent! English is not my first language but my 4th. I understand all what say and your way of speaking is so calme, polite, clear and sophisticated! Thank you for the wonderful video. 🐙🦑🦐🦞🦀🐳🐬🐟🐠🐋🦈
What are the other 3?
@@tedbunder2026 My guess: octopus, shrimp and salamander
@@plumbc 😂🤣😂 haha right. Notice he/she didn't even respond...probably because I didn't ask in fishinese
I think this is hands down the best ocean documentary I've ever seen. Bravo
Me Too ! ! CLIVE
Thank you for making this. An important and stunning piece of invaluable science and love. Thank you so much for going to the trouble and then sharing with all of us. You're a true human.
Namaste
Excellent ...I recognize some of the orders of these creatures, but I am astounded by the diversity...thank you for the scientific names, taxonomy is so important to me to help understand this beautiful gift of bio-diversity on the planet...thank you!!
I watched again and find out so many amazing creatures, fantastic 👏
Phenomenal. I've been watching nature documentaries/videos for many years and have seen only a handful approaching the quality of this one. The informative captions and subdued yet unusually appropriate music are a plus. I sometimes turn videos off because the music is so offensive, but I actually enjoyed having music in the background here. Thank you!
I usually watch nature shows with captions and turn the volume wayyy down to avoid music but I agree, there are a few that the music is totally fitting. This one is on that list 😊. I appreciate the commentary too.
