Frogfish Sharks Cove Oahu
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 to steer. What an unusual fish to see in an area of big surf as frogfish usually like calm bays and lagoons.

Wainiha Reef and Velzyland Reef Destruction
Переглядів 4214 днів 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 54Місяць 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...

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...

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...

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...

First every green dive movie! I shot this video about 20 years ago along the remote part of the California coastline. I did over 500 scuba dives off of my kayak along a 120 mile stretch of coastline from Big Surf to Santa Barbara County. This was the first time this part of the coast had been explored and the marine life had never before seen a scuba diver. Come along on this fascinating advent...

This creepy looking foot wide starfish has poisonous spines and eats live coral! It crawls around on tube feet that are propelled by jets of water coming from inside the starfish body. When the star crawls over a large coral its stomach comes out of its body and digest the live coral polyps. The Crown of Thorns is native to Hawaii but sometimes has an outbreak of them that wipes out an entire c...
Anini Beach Caulerpa Algae Outbreak
Переглядів 114Рік тому
Anini Beach in Kauai had a massive outbreak of caulerpa seaweed that grew so fast in 2022 it covered up and killed thousands of beautiful corals. I have been studying and filming the corals at Anini Beach for 20 years and this is the first time I have seen this happen. About a third of the corals died within a few short months because this aggressive algae covered the seafloor and looked like a...

Most people see these big beautiful cowry shells in the window of shell shops and have no idea how the cowry shells stays so shinny. I shot this video of a live tiger cowry shell in a cave at 60 feet deep off of Oahu north Shore and you can see it mantle coming out of the shell. This is super rare footage because when disturbed the mantle usually retracts into the protection of the hard shell. ...

Thank you for making this video. I wonder how the reef is doing 10 years later now in 2024?
Thank you.
Grew up on the Banzai and spent lots of time exploring under the water at Vland late 80s to mid 90s. I get this vid is 10 years old, but has the coral health gotten better since then?
Great video! Thanks for filming and sharing this.
Hi I was just wondering, where can I find more information about the lava tubes and overall formation of Tunnels Beach. I would like to do a report but I am having a very hard time finding info
Beach pant under the wetsuit first time I see that in my life 😂😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
Great video brother! Thanks for sharing and I would love to dive this spot one day.
Why is the water so murky ?
Nice. Depth (s)?
Not going to work this way! Just saying! How to Be a Leader Be an empathetic leader. Be a good listener. Be a model for embracing change. Incorporate a shared vision. Develop your followers. Communicate realistic and clear expectations. Learn how to handle failure. Continue your education. Where are you helping the creator by hurting!
I saw one of these today on the east side of Kauai! Purple and everything, hiding in coral.
Such a good surf spot
Ohhhhh......you said "coral virus".....who would've thunk it
Wow surfed there winter of 68. Sorry about that spot turning mushy.
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.
this is a great cause and production
I got to go there once it was beautiful so sad there are problems.
the real story is how did you find a parking spot? the Hanalei locals like to put nails in tourists tires.
This is Tunnels.
Is it the farm land chemical 🤔
What is killing the coral? Is it waist from the hotel? 2020 covid...has the area healed 🙏
Amazing
Nah get the fuck off our island lmao. Go back home. This is crazy stupid.
Whose property is that with the kapu sign that's tearing up the wetlands?
Oh no, that poor honu!

Did you tell the locals you killed one of their own ?

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❣️
you are the intruder dude, that's the shark's house leave these creatures alone people are really the worst
Thanks for da upload rip in paradise A.I
I love the old school way of this video. Its going to be sad to see the 80's style of making video disappear as the don't know how younger gens just use the latest video editing software. Awesome old school feel to the vid makes me want to watch it again, and again.
NICE TERRY! Don't disclose that location! Good to see a colony thriving. Get out at night and watch them do the line dance...
i wanna go diving at tunnels beach, what should I do?
Flipping off the ocean. Ok tough kids. Ok.
Fuckin Haoles
splendide
WOW! Great video! Thx for sharing! The quality was superb!
❤️
awesome
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.
I know this video was a really long time ago but my husband and I are coming in January this year and would love a tour guide for snorkeling!!!
Magnificent .....
WOW THAT POOR THING !
Please connect with me I would like to discuss this much more. I know why we have another sand destroyer on the surf beaches of Oahu, beyond military destruction.
Another world and no space craft was necessary!
Good description of shark reaction to war games.
Where is the free floating Nickel coming from? Saw your post on facebook
