I particularly like that the animals you a filming generally are left to go about their business - too many videos show animals exhibiting flight behavior.... very well done!

Funny you say that. I've noticed the same thing and am like "Stop chasing that fish (turtle, ray etc.)!"

Nice video OP.

Great video. Loved the tarpon at the end. Love Saba. Wish I could go back more often.

Thanks divenski and Gurth.

You are correct that threat reactions were generally absent. The only "back-off" message that I received was from the octopus who inked to warn me away from his lunch. The message was received and heeded.

The most important implication of what you have said is basically that divers (with or without cameras) can effectively blend into the scenery without posing threats to the inhabitants. Bad diving, however, is commonly interpreted as a threat. Also, when cameras are involved, bad diving almost always means bad photos and videos.

Nice video OP.
