Hi, thanks to some quality "stay home" time with recent events, I finally got time to edit some scuba video from diving Phuket dive sites. All feedback would be very welcome. Stay safe!

Sweet!
I liked the shot where the fish parted and you see the turtle.
Great job, what software do you use?

a rare mantis shrimp! I saw one in Cebu P.I. , and all over in the seafood restaurants in water tanks along with lobsters. Crazy looking thing. Basically they taste like lobster and can get up to 18 inches long. usually about a foot. supposedly my buddy said they have razer sharp legs or whatever up front that makes them look like a preying mantis and same tactic to double spear fish and drag into their holes.
nice seahorse, very large octopus, I like this video, and how you isolate everything.
You can see a lot of Mantis in Cebu at Bohol and also in Moalboal. They do not grow to 18 inches long more like 6 - 8 inches at most.

No offense but thats not true. I have pics that I took and they are somewhere around here with of lots of them in tanks at restaurants individually in 2 liter plastic bottles. they are all 12 plus inches long. 6 to 8 inches is crawdad size. These suckers were BIG. the tails were as large as big lobster tails.
they were all double 6 to 8 inches

Good video! The turtle reveal was epic and it was exciting to see the octopus and mantis shrimp. A number of shots were underexposed so you would benefit from more powerful video lights or staying shallower to benefit from ambient light. You may also find that slowing down can reduce camera shake and avoid spooking shy subjects.
