Please watch my latest video "Back To Raja Ampat: Diving Dampier Strait in 2025, Indonesia".
It was my first trip shooting with the Sony FX3 in a Nauticam housing, experimenting with S-Log3 Cine vs HLG3 and different white balance settings. Conditions added to the challenge — visibility was often poor, many corals showed signs of bleaching, and several sites were crowded.
Still, the ocean offered unforgettable moments. Manta rays made a welcome return to Blue Magic after nearly four years, and Melissa’s Garden stood out as our favorite site of the trip — vibrant, full of life, and untouched by bleaching.
