Vans Pipe Masters Best Waves 2024
The final day of the Vans Pipe Masters was held in huge 30 foot close out conditions on Oahu north shore. Only a few people made their waves during the final day of the event but Koa Smith from Kauai got the wave of the year and maybe the best wave ever ridden in a Pipeline event! Young Erin Brooks won the woman's division and dropped into the biggest close out wave ever ridden by a woman at Pipeline. She is also the youngest winner of the event at 17 years old. Here are a few clips of their waves and also a good one by the Japanese and Tahitian surfers. What a great day of surfing to watch! Marine Biologist Terry Lilley

Rockpiles ~ Oahu Surf N Reef Series
Переглядів 2,8 тис.21 день тому
Rockpile is a rarely surfed reef on Oahu's North Shore because the reef below the waves is jagged and lacks and real shape to it. This makes the wave shifty and dangerous to ride. Three-times world champ John John Florence surfs it better then anyone, as he grew up right at this break near Pipeline. For the first time ever, this documentary movie shows the reef at Rockpile and you can see why t...
Bigeye Fish Spawning In Palau
Переглядів 3528 днів тому
Bigeye fish are bright red and about a foot long. They live all throughout the tropical Pacific and are also called glasseye fish and aweoweo in Hawaii. They usually are seen in caves in the reef during the day where they are red and they normally feed at night and turn silver. From time to time they congregate in huge numbers during the day to broadcast spawn. I was lucky enough to video a lar...
Bleached Sea Anemones in Palau
Переглядів 30Місяць тому
We recently dove in Palau and documented very little coral bleaching which was good! I am a marine biologist and I like to see how much of the reef is bleached at every dive site we visit worldwide. What was a bit unusual in Palau is I shot video of a handful of bleach sea anemones which is very rare to see. The anemonefish in these bleached white anemones were very stressed and hopefully the a...
BigEye Trevally School in Oahu
Переглядів 532 місяці тому
I was scuba diving at an underwater cliff outside of Hale'iwa boat harbor in Oahu and got surrounded by over 100 large Bigeye Trevally! The Hawaiian name for this fish is pake ulua and they are rarely seen by divers because they normally live out in the open ocean. The entire school of fish zoomed around quickly feeding on schools of smaller bait fish. After doing over 3,000 scuba dives in Hawa...
Lobster Behavior In La Jolla California
Переглядів 752 місяці тому
Most divers find it hard to catch live lobsters because they hide in cracks in the reef during the day and trying to grab one and pull it out is almost impossible. As a marine biologist I have studied lobster behavior for over 40 years and I have developed a way to cause the lobster to come out of their hiding place all on their own. Good lobster hiding places out on the reef are hard to find a...
Spanish dancer nudibranch swimming in Hawaii
Переглядів 863 місяці тому
The white margin Spanish dancer nudibranch is the largest sea slug of its kind in Hawaii growing over ten inches long. They are poisonous to eat so most predator fish leave them alone but if you lightly touch one they will flare out to look larger then they are. They have feather like gills on their back and they crawl around on the reef eating poisonous sponges. If you gently pick one up it wi...
Frogfish Sharks Cove Oahu
Переглядів 254 місяці тому
I finally found an adult frogfish on Oahu North Shore at Sharks Cove! I have looked for one for over ten years. This huge adult is the size of a volleyball and blends in perfectly to the color of the reef. It is just wild to watch it swim as it sucks in water in its mouth and then sends the water out of openings at the base of their back legs. This propels them forward while they use their fins...
Wainiha Reef and Velzyland Reef Destruction
Переглядів 674 місяці тому
In August 2024 I did a scuba dive at Wainiha Bay on Kauai north shore and shot a movie of the healthy giant old growth corals. I then went to Velzyland on Oahu north shore and shot a video of the outer reef that is almost 100 percent dead and destroyed. The purpose of the dives and comparison movie is to alert the Department of Aquatic Resources of the problem and try to figure out what is kill...
Pipeline Reef Dying 2024
Переглядів 755 місяців тому
Every summer I scuba dive and video the reef at Pipeline on Oahu North Shore to check out the health of the corals and marine life. A few days ago I dove the second reef at Pipeline at about 40 feet deep. This part of the reef usually has lots of beautiful three foot tall mound and lob corals. On this dive I was bummed to see that over 90% of the large corals had died! The reef looks like someo...
Remora Shark Suckers
Переглядів 1576 місяців тому
Remoras are a slender fish that grow to about three feet long and it has a suction cup on top of its head for attaching itself to large sharks and other big fish. The suction cup is a modified fin and the remora holds onto it host so it can feed on parasites and also eat small scraps of food released into the water when the shark feeds. Sometimes the remora looses its grip on a shark and must f...
Tiger And Lemon Shark Diving In The Bahamas

We did 40 scuba dives in South Florida and Tiger Beach in the Bahamas with dozens of large lemon sharks, bull sharks, reef sharks, nurse sharks and tiger sharks studying their behavior close up. The purpose of the dives was to do a movie about how the sharks react to divers who are feeding them or chumming the water and how the divers have learned to control the sharks behavior. Here is a rough...
Liberty Shipwreck Bali Scuba Diving

The Liberty shipwreck in Bali is one of the best scuba diving sites in the world. The Navy ship went down in WW2 and lies on the sand from 15 feet deep to 80 feet deep. It is just covered with colorful sponges, soft corals and nudibranchs. It is the only reef structure in the area so it attracts thousands of reef fish from beautiful angelfish and sweetlips all the way to large humphead parrotfi...
Hawaiian Seashells Live On The Reef

Many shell collectors see Hawaiian shells in shell shops or even a few on the beach but most people have never seen live shells out on the reef. This is the first ever movie showing live cowrie shells, trumpet shells, tun shells and more! It took me ten years to shoot this video at night and in deep water caves to document the lives of our well known shells and also to talk about their importan...
Vans Pipeline Woman's Surf Contest Final

This was the best woman's finals at Pipeline I have seen in the last 20 years! Ten to fifteen foot waves and the women surf it nowadays just as good as the men do. Perfect trade wind conditions and big gnarly barrels. Watch world champion Carissa Moore take on past Pipeline champion Moana Jones-Wong, Molly Picklum and young Erin Brooks. Erin is only 16 years old and has already won contest in B...

    Nice footage! But you say "this big omilu I shot." LoL... this is a adolescent. They get way over a hundred pounds. I'm also a diver. Have dove all the third reef. Dove through a lava tube which was 70' at the top and 127' when you come out the bottom of the cave. There was a black ulua 7' long and had to be close to 200lbs. Please stop killing the babies. Kill roi if you want to shoot something so that the uluas can grow to full size.

    Mahalo for all the work and documentation you do Terry~ My heart goes out to these amazing creatures and all People who love and live on beautiful Kaua’i, as I once did. So heartbreaking to see such devastation. I had to move from Kaua’i back to the mainland due to not being able to breathe there. I never had asthma in life, until I lived on Kaua’i. It was severe, especially when I was on the west side of the island where Monsanto reigns king. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss swimming with turtles and all the treasures of the Garden Isle. Thank you for fighting for her, Mama Kaua’i. A love affair I will never get over. Bless You & Alo)(A❣️

    High nutrient load is what is causing the demise of these corals. It sets up a cascade of issues, like bacterial infections and subsequent algae growth. High phosphates and nitrates prevent new coral growth. I tested the alkalinity of the north shore water, it was in the acceptable range, 7.4 dKH. I did not test the pH. The sediment in the water is outflow from agriculture and sewage runoff from septic systems in north shore housing. The south side corals are in better shape because of less runoff from agriculture and housing. Until nutrient and sediments are controlled this situation will get worse.
