    I appreciate how you both depict and elucidate the underwater life, with each fish having its own unique story to tell rather than just a plain view. Scuba diving is not just about swimming underwater; it's about gaining a better understanding of the life within it.

      Thanks for your support. For this trip, I stayed at the Allegro Cozumel. They have the dive center on the premice.

    Great video! I love all the information, only thing is that jaques cousteau never came to Cozumel, there are no records of the calypso ever entering Cozumel waters, but that has been used as publicity for the island for years.

      First of all, thank you so much for your nice words. Second, you are correct. It was a rumor that people passed along that became sort of "appealing truth" to promote the island. There is a series of links mentioning that he mentioned it, but I found this page (again, I am not sure which is accurate), but this page gives a good chronology about where the confusion came from.

      I will keep digging more in the future and see if I can find some formal documentation.

      @@KarimLounesDiving The rumors might have some truth behind them. I had the privilege to dive some years ago with and old time diver from cozumel, and he showed us a few pictures of him and Jean-Michel Cousteau together (Jacques Cousteau son). Apparently he went to the island a few times to dive with him. The pictures might have been from the 70's or 80's, not sure, but a wild guess is that's where the stories and confusion might have started.
      I really enjoyed your video by the way!

      @@lipe26714thank you a lot for the nice words and for sharing the story. I have yet to hear from the Calypso Association . I will send them a message again and try to get some formal comment about those rumors that I may be able to add to the video as a card or something. Thanks again. Keep diving!

    Hello again Karim. Great video as expected. I just came back from Cozumel and did my very fist diving video. I used Insta360 X3 camera with underwater aftermarket hosing to film on the boat as well as the first seen in the water. The rest of the footage was ruined by the housing. The rest of the dive was done with the SeaLife Micro 3.0 with two powerful light, which overexposed some parts of the video. I can use some pointers. Thanks. ua-cam.com/video/c-uiTPfRz8c/v-deo.html

      Thank you for the kind words. I watched your video. I think you pointed to some of the issues already in your comment. I was impressed by the stability of the Insta360 X3 when you were on the boat and when walking to get in the water. The 360 cameras do better on land in dry environments. Once the housing gets wet, and when you take the camera underwater with that housing, the results have not been great, not just in your case, but we have tried some 360 cameras and didn't give a great result, either. The 360 Videos are cool, especially the ones where you can post the video and have the users rotate and look around not just to give them the final edit, but to shoot a good quality production, they don't seem to do well underwater. The SealLife, on the other hand, did better underwater. Shooting video in the daylight with lights is a bit tricky. The camera did not know how to adjust, thus the overexposed corals and bluish colorless backgrounds. I still recommend either a GoPro or a DJI Osmo Action with a filter for underwater videos. Those do much better for almost the same budget. Hope this helps.

      @@KarimLounesDiving Thank you for your feedback. I have a brand new Insta360 Ace Pro, which is supposedly an improved version of GoPro. I'm going to use it with filters and no external light on my next diving trip. Definitely want to see the results. Thanks again for the tips.

    Video is excellent. You have a great speaking voice. However, the narration is over the top. It seems like every time you speak, you are being so dramatic.
    I am writing this @14:51 in the video and thinking about exiting. Will probably just mute and watch. Because the video is so good.
