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.

@@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).

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.

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.

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.
