My new video of small critters from the Lembeh Strait and Anilao. Filmed with a Panasonic GH4 in a Nauticam NA-GH4 housing with either 2 x Keldan Luna 4X lights or 2 x FIX Neo 1000 DX SW II lights. I used an Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ lens and a Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8...

My new video of humpback whales in Tonga. This is made in 2016 with 2008 30i HDV footage which I deinterlaced then slowed down from 60p to 30p (before the mother and calf, which is real-time). I hope it conveys some of the sense of awe of swimming with these magnificent animals. Feedback...

I got some nice macro footage of Nembrotha chamberlaini nudibranchs mating at Red Rock and Twin Rocks in Anilao last year. Nudibranchs have barbed penises to hold them together and the last clips shows the effort and twisting movement required to pull that pair apart. Shot with my Panasonic...

Often overlooked in the past, the near-white lacy bryozoan, Triphyllozoon inornatum, has become the subject of attention recently since divers at Ambon and Alor noticed various small critters living in them. On a recent trip to the Lembeh Strait I was lucky enough to spot a bryozoan goby at the...

I shot this footage of a sacoglossan (sap-sucking slug) in May in the Lembeh Strait. I was unable to find a match for it in my references, and Terry Gosliner (on the strength of 1 frame grab), reckoned it was a new species of Stiliger sp., so I made a little YouTube video of it. I...

A very short macro video of saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus, tending to their eggs at Bethlehem near Anilao. Shot with the with my Panasonic GH4 in a Nauticam NA-GH4 housing. I used an Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ lens. I can't wait to get my Olympus 60mm macro lens on...

Not quite sure what happened here... Wanted to try something different and it turned into this pompous piece. Coleman shrimps (Periclimenes colemani), urchin shrimps (Allopontonia brockii), and zebra crabs (Zebrida adamsii) live and travel on fire urchins (Asthenosoma varium) in Anilao...

A silly little video of a small school of saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus, in the shallows in Anilao, the Philippines. Shot with my Panasonic GH4 and Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 ED M.Zuiko EZ lens in Nauticam housing. zr40xNW3Qyo

I can get my Petrel to connect to my laptop running Windows XP to upgrade the firmware using the Shearwater dongle, but I can't get it to connect to my desktop PC running Windows 8.1. At first I tried and failed to connect with my motherboard's (ASUS X99 deluxe) on-board bluetooth adapter. Then...

I make decompression dives. My Suunto Gekko tells me whether I'm above the floor or not, "floor" being defined as: "the deepest depth at which the decompression stop time will not increase. Decompression will start when you pass this depth during your ascent". When I'm below the floor, it...

Following on from my serialisation, here is my full 90-minute documentary about the marine life of the Lembeh Strait in Indonesia. Subtitles are available for both the narration and the names of the marine species and dive sites. If you disagree with or wish to add to any of the content...

I have completed my documentary, "Mucky Secrets", about the fascinating marine creatures of the Lembeh Strait. Last year I posted a prologue video. Now, finally, here is the first episode, which introduces Lembeh's location at the heart of the Coral Triangle, and takes a look at corals and...

In this eBay UK auction I am offering a job lot of scuba diving equipment for collection here in Heswall, Wirral, UK unless you'd like to arrange a courier to collect. Lots of items of technical diving equipment and regular diving equipment including 5 scuba cylinders and loads of...

I've been working on a 90-minute documentary called "Mucky Secrets", about Lembeh Strait critters. I still have some way to go before finishing it, but here's a prologue I made in advance of the full release. I really tried to show the personalities of the animals, which isn't easy when they...

You may have seen my 54-minute Bali DVD on the net before at 480p, but I have breathed new life into it by improving the colour correction and upscaling from 576i to 720p (by a fancy AviSynth method) for YouTube. So it's best seen in a big window at 720p, which you need to turn on with the...

Graceful giant manta rays from Thailand's Koh Bon, Hin Daeng and Richelieu Rock. Huge thanks to Solidtrax for the music, "Are We Dreaming". Find them on Soundcloud and at https://twitter.com/Solidtrax As always, it looks best at 720p HD in a big window or full screen. All feedback...

Although I've been serialising this and posting on the videography forum, I have decided to release this whole 116-minute video on YouTube in its entirety. This is an in-depth study of the marine life of Burma and Thailand, so it probably belongs more on this forum. Feel free to share and...

I took a handful of my HDV clips from my previous Fiji video, slowed them down to 50% speed by bob-deinterlacing them, and let them run. The result is a 5 minute video that contains 8 clips instead of 100. Please let me know what you think! hdYEF6AhAss

I have made lots of updates to my DVD "Reef Life of the Andaman", about the marine life of Thailand and Burma, and will be serialising it weekly on my YouTube channel over the next few months. Here is the first part. The footage has been deinterlaced (using QTGMC in AviSynth) and upscaled to...
