Thank you very much, Sandra and Markus, for this video with outstanding quality, so very interesting and informative content and unforgettable beauty 😍 For me, the "star" of this video was the beautiful green Costasiella koroshimae. You got a new subsciber from Finland.

Hallo Clemens, vielen Dank für deinen tollen Kommentar, das freut mich sehr, dass Dir das Video gefallen hat. Nein, keine Vorsatzlinse, es ist das 60mm Makro von Olympus. Ganz viele Grüsse, Markus
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much! We stayed 7 days and did 19 dives. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus
All I can say is wow! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing footage. Just when I think I've seen them all you show some of the most beautiful nudibranchs. I could watch them all day long!
Dear Pat, thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much. So glad that you enjoyed watching our video. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus
@@SandraMarkusTrachsel Wirklich gute UW Videos (auch Makros) sind im Netz sehr spärlich gesäht - wenn du Lust hast, besuche meinen YT-Kanal - ich habe kürzlich ein Makrovideo über die weit unterschätzte Adria eingestellt. Freu mich auf dein Feedback! LG th-cam.com/video/iIeqIdMW4VY/w-d-xo.html
Hallo Doris, danke danke danke, so lieb von Dir, dass Du so nette Kommentare schreibst. Ja, das war wirklich einer unserer besten Muck-Dive-Urlaube mit der Videokamera. Es sieht in Bewegung halt ganz anders aus als auf einem Foto, nicht besser, schlechter oder so. Es vermittelt einfach einen ganz anderen Eindruck. Folgende zwei Stellen musst du dir mal ganz genau anschauen: Bei 14:52 wird die Nudibranch angegriffen und ein Stück Haut wird ihr abgebissen, unglaublich, dass wir so was gefilmt haben. Und bei 21:56 kriecht plötzlich eine Juvenile Schnecke der gleichen Art vorne durch, die ist keine 0.5 mm gross, uns ist fast das Herz stehen geblieben. So, jetzt ist erst mal Pause, wir sind am Packen für Uganda, daraus gibt es dann im Herbst wieder eine grosse Dokumentation. Wir sind schon ganz nervös und total gespannt drauf. Ganz viele liebe Grüsse, Sandra und Markus
Liebe Sandra und Markus. Danke für die Info. Bei mir ist der Film etwas zeitverschoben. Nach mehrmaligem scharf Hinsehen haben wir den kleinen grauen"Tausendfüssler" bei 14:59 entdeckt. Das kleine Schnäggli bei Szene 21:56 ist uns sofort aufgefallen und wir haben es richtig interpretiert - so härzig! Super Vergrösserung und so scharfe Aufnahmen! Für die bevorstehende Uganda-Reise wünschen wir Euch ganz viele interessante und unvergessliche Abenteuer. Wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf die Uganda-Dokumention. Viele liebe Grüsse, Doris & Herbert
Wow! OMG that was amazing. And so many diverse nudibranches and octopi. Felt like we brought our own personal videographer on the holiday :) Loved all of it and will watch it again
Dear Linda, wow, thank you so much for your wonderful comment! So glad you like the video and please consider it as part of our shared memory! Best wishes also from Sandra! Best regards, Markus
Thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much! So glad to hear that you enjoy watching our videos. If you like nudibranchs and macro in general, then pleaes don't miss our video about Mafia Island in Tanzania. It is a great place for macro diving as well. Regarding your question about filming steady macro videos, well, there is no easy and simple way to get these results. I am getting my 1000 dive soon and I am doing macro photography and videography for over 15 years now. So I assume that this is now paying off slowly. Then of course there is a lot of stabilization work done in post processing of the videos as well. This footage of course is not straight out of the camera, but the steadier the source material the better the result after post processing as well. Also one thing to keep in mind, that I use a very big and heavy camera rig (but which is completely neutrally boyant underwater). The mass of that rig helps a lot to keep it stable and steady. So for me all these factors combined gives the results we show here. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus
Sandra and Marcus this video in 4k was absolutely perfect. All the subjects were tiny and the colours, clarity and resolution were amazing. The only thing better was meeting you both there. We now have to go back and see the species we missed that you captured so beautifully. Will be sending this on to friends and colleagues.
Hi Paul, it's wonderful to hear from you and so glad you like the video too. Yes, we really had a great time together in Tulamben, it was wonderful to meet Linda and you in such a beautiful place. I am still asthonished how many Nudibranch you saw that we missed and vice versa. But honestly, we wouldn't have enough time to capture them all, so going back is definitely the best we can do! Thank you very much for all your support, that's very very kind of you. All the best and best wishes to Linda and you, Sandra and Markus
Dear Alejandro, thank you very much for your wonderful comment, appreciate it very much! So glad you like the video. Wishing you all the best and best regards, Markus
Hallo Catrin, vielen Dank für Deinen tollen Kommentar, das freut mich sehr, dass Dir das Video gefallen hat. Keine Sorge, die Baby Costasiella folgte brav ihrer Artgenossin. Die war so winzig, dass wir die erst zu Hause im Video gesehen haben. Habe grad gesehen, dass du auch viel in Indonesien unterwegs bist und habe gleich Deinen Kanal abonniert. Viele Grüsse, Markus
I know what they eat but does anything eat Nudibranchs? I love watching ur videos.👍🏻Nudibranchs are so beautiful it’s hard to believe that they have no eyes but get along just fine and have no problem finding food. 👵🏻🇺🇸👏🏼 Do you ever see those cute little Lumpsucker fish ?
Thank you very much for your kind comment, appreciate it very much. Nudibranchs are sometimes eaten by other Nudibranchs and for sure other predetors as well. For example if a parrot fish is eating corals and a nudibranch just happen to be in the wrong spot it will be eaten as well. They have a little light-sensitive eye-patch under the rhinophores that enables them to see at least some sort of light, but mostly it is their rhinophores (the antennas) that help them to orientated. They "smell" their food and other nudibranchs for mating. With best regards, Markus
Great video! Dove all over Indonesia in 2019 for 6 weeks, but didn’t dive while in Bali. Must go back! Great job with identifying these species. Dying to dive again! God bless.
Dear Ornery Oh, thank you very much for your kind comment appreciate it very much! Bali is really a great place for macro and Tulamben for nudibranchs especially. Good luck for your next dives and best regards, Markus
Sandra & Markus Trachsel have you dove in Ambon, Lembeh and/or Komodo National Park? The muck diving in Ambon and Lembeh was incredible. Komodo, a nice mix - the mantas was a bucket list for me. Still takes my breath away. I’m just a GoPro girl (landlocked in Colorado), but am so impressed with the quality of your macro work. If you’re interested, refer to my TH-cam for vids, esp shark diving in Beqa Lagoon, Fiji. 💜 Take care and happy diving!
Dear Ornery Oh, thank you very much! Yes, Lembeh is our favorit place as well, and Ambon was great too. We did the Komodo trip a few years ago, but must say we have to do it again. Before we were on Trip from Flores to Alor, also a great video on our channel and over new year we just came back from Raja Ampat and Misool. I think we only saw mantas there, so many mantas! We will release this video around May. Wow your shark diving video is stunning, congratulations. I gladly subscribed to your channel. Yes, Fiji is definitely on our bucket list too. Thanks alot and best regards, Markus
Sandra & Markus Trachsel Raja was the last stop on our 3 mos trip. We began in Palau, then Truk Lagoon, and Yap. Then Puerta Galera, Philippines, a couple nights in Singapore (wow!) Then we began a 6 week trek in Indonesia; Manado, Bangka, Lembeh, Ambon, Komodo (our 1st livaboard), Bali and then Raja Ampat. We stayed at the Meridian there in Waigeo...beautiful but if I’m ever blessed to go back at some point, I’d like to go by way of livaboard. It’s so vast and so many sites still undiscovered. Minsool’s supposed to be great, as is Triton Bay. Galapagos and Solomon Islands 🇸🇧 are on the ol’ bucket list for sure! Happy chatting with you, and thanks for the follow! More videos to come on my channel as well. Take care!
Sandra & Markus Trachsel oh, we weren’t lucky with the oceanic mantas in Raja..,could see them flopping on the surface from the dive boat, but didn’t see them on our dives. Reef mantas in Komodo. We DID get to hike to the scenic point at Piaynemo...stunning! Similar to the Rock Islands in Palau. I feel very blessed to have the chance to see those parts off the world, and fell in love with the Asian culture and people! Everything in Bali is just beautiful...including the people. So kind! Weaver’s Dive and Travel, Boulder, CO - the BEST at dive travel. We couldn’t have done that trip without them. Forever grateful!

Fantastic video! I particularly love the super closeup shots. Which wet lens are you using for the super macro shots? Excellent work. I definitely need to get back to Bali now that the volcano has calmed down. Thank you for sharing.
