Hi, The first sea snake you showed, I think is Turtle-headed Sea-snake (Emydocephalus annulatus), was it filmed in Coron, Palawan? Very interesting because so far it's known distribution in the PH seemed restricted in the Boho Sea, central Visayas.
I meant El Nido, Palawan?
@@abnerbucol1536 ya I believe so. I've definitely seen them here in Dauin too
@@CritterHunter Thanks for your quick response. Looks like I need to update it's distribution in PH again. By any chance, if its possible to cite your observation later, can you give date you shot this sea snake in El Nido? (Month and year may also suffice if specific date cannot be recalled).
@@abnerbucol1536 I cant really give a date, probably 3 years ago
Every man has a story brought me
Same
Same here
Same here. Awesome footage
Watched it start to finish buddy. Epic. That is some unbelievable footage. When I saw that it was an hour I was thinking that I've never watched anything longer than 10 minutes on YT. But the way you put this together kept it interesting and the hour flew by. Nice work buddy. To say I'm proud would be an understatement. Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks guys!
Justin's footage quality is on par with anything you'll find on the Nat Geo channel. This is a really engaging doco, well done!
Awe shucks, thanks!
I agree.
Came here from Every Man Has A Story channel! Love for you to continue your online vlogging!
Wow Justin..what a great documentary..Your knowledge about marine life is amazing...
Great work man, I know how much effort you've put into this!
ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING! Love it man. My first time to watch underwater docu featuring our beautiful country, the Philippines (can't remember watching something like what Justin did). Video pa more... i can sense you can easily adopt the lifestyle here in the Philippines. :)
The underwater beauty in the philippines has never stopped amazing me i lived in the Philippines sense 2004 i am 70 started at 16 throuh through the years i looked in log i have maintsinef sense i have started diving
In 45 countries and 12 states .
Philippines met my dive hunger .
I thank God for people like you who let us see what it's like under sea and ocean water. I'm 100% sure I'll leave this earth without seeing all those beautiful sea creatures if not for adventurous people like you and Finn. I just hope you carry with you something you can defend yourself with just in case you get attacked by sharks. Just as we have a few crazy, violent people on land, I'm sure the ocean and sea are not spared from such anomalies. Stay safe and thank you for your beautiful videos.
Thank you so much! Have a great day!
Beautifully done! Thoroughly captivating and your narration is excellent Justin.
The best video film undersea i ever seen best one and good job more vlogging..goodluck to journey.god bless you
I am very impressed on what you captured on film, i mean video. Another world.
Like you, I also love seeing carious Octopus species while diving. Great Octopus video and thanks for sharing!
One of the best diving documentaries I've seen on the UA-cams!
Wow justin this is the coolest documentary video I've ever seen, I love seeing sea creatures they are the most beautiful and colorful bravo super 👍
Wow! I'm blown away by your excellent documentary about amazing Philippine marine life and its people. Thank you so much for bringing this to our living room in Canada. I should do justice of being Filipino by birth by exploring its seas, just like you did.
It's amazing here!
I am very grateful for your sub water documentary. Having had 2 near-lethal diving accidents (due to failing oxigen equipment at Granaria and once because of my panicking wrong reaction to failed equalization of ears causing perforation of the ear drum at Corsica) , I have no lust for diving anymore, though I dived at Moalboal several times and got my basic pad in the dark and cold sea arm waters in Europe. I ll soon return to The Philippines for maybe a.o. some occasional snorkling, but I know it is only thanks to you and other brave;y filming professional divers that I can enjoy the wealth of the underwater world, by the computer at home. I have also appreciated your calm voice and not too many overwhelming biological explanations in understandable and pleasant to hear English for non-anglosaxon ears.
Totally amazing footage with all the insights. Heads up to Phillipinos! Lovelies people I've ever met!!
Excellent video so glad mark interviewed I'm a diver to and have dived in many places in Pi also but not apo,dauin, or siquori looking forward to it when this covid shit is over .
There's some good spots waiting!
I can't believe you don't have more views! Your photography is phenomenal - totally jealous! Great stuff - keep it coming!
worth watching!
You are fortunate to witness the rarest various species of marine creatures OF our mother land one and only called PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS PHILIPPINES.
