    Easily the best and most interesting diving channel ive come across, you're putting these big budget documentary film makers to shame! great work. can i ask your average dive depth? i prefer dive time over depth so looking for and photographing these little critters can be more relaxing, just wondering if i will be able to find these in the shallower depths up to 15 to 20 meters max?

    Hi Justine - you sure know how to put the beauty of the ocean's occupants on stage - creatures with colorful wardrobes - delight to watch. These creatures sure know how to pick the perfect color to display themselves. On the other hand, looks like you have an incredible time following them as they go about their daily lives - unique creatures indeed! The amount of effort you're putting into each video is truly an amazing endeavor - well done! Keep it up!

    An hour of pure beauty! One of the best! Siquijor is really a diver's paradise. It boasts of many different life forms/species underneath that you never knew existed. You documented each specie beautifully, esp love the swimming black flatworm. I love ur sense of humor... the specie's long eyelashes that made Judia jealous nd the nudie couple mating was hilarious, haha! Also, u have a way w words, Justin, nd a soothing voice. It's as if you were reading a bedside story to ur viewers. Love this docu nd one that u should do often. It maybe hardwork but nothing would satisfy/fulfill u more. Seeing this made me wish even more to b able to swim/dive but then again, u brought me along w ur adventure nd opened my eyes to the wonders below. I was not left out. Thank u for this, Justin. Wonderful to see those array of colors. All the best! God bless.

    Hi, Justin. I love your channel and your documentation video and photo. I am using Olympus TG6 too, It is amazing pocket camera with amazing footage video and photo. I see your video and photo a bit over expose as I have the same problem at first using TG6 although I have reduce the exposure to -0.7 but no different. I know the problem right away and I change the setting of metering to spot will solve the problem and I can use lower ISO 200 to take photo and video and with decent shutter speed over 1/160 to 1/250th. I hope this help you to create much better footage.

    I like your Videos and I love to dive in the Philippines. Your movie about Siquijor is a good motivation to visit this island again. About 20 years ago I was there with my family. We had a lot of rain, and the visibility underwater was like diving in milk coffee. The only highlight was the night diving at the Siquijor Pier on the other side of the island. But after your Clips maybe I have to put it on my bucket list again.
