Thank you very much , much appreciated

Ur welcome. Maybe someday im come to raja ampat 😁

Hi there, thank you very much indeed . No matter how respectful and careful we are , I am afraid we do we do stress them somehow

Sorry I didn't see you use a Sony AX100!

Thank you Mireille for your nice comment . It is indeed a Sony AX 100 . I just watched your nice videos , thanks for the useful tip about Aljui Bay passage , i will most certainly consider diving this place nest time i go there. Thanks .

@@YannandDoreen Hi Yann. Im planning my visit in July (finally). Can you share your experience. I need some tips on how to get there, what to take, where to stay and where to dive. If you dont mind me asking, how much did the trip to RA cost you?

Hi There , you have two ways to dive Raja Ampat , best is still to do a liveaboard ( which is the most costly too ) because you can obviously cover a larger area but you should hurry if you want to book . The second option is to go to the Biodiversity Eco resort ( rajaampatbiodiversity.com) as they are right in front of the Dampier strait which has nutrient rich waters and therefore incredible marine life and host some of the most awesome dive sites such as Blue Magic or cape Kri , just to name a few.They also have day trips to go as far as Fam islands and Manta sandy ( cleaning station) . But beware , currents are very strong in the Dampier strait (no current no life as the saying goes ! ). Tell me if you want to go there as i know Rey ( the owner) Misool and Dampier strait are to my mind the best places to dive in Raja Ampat even though Halmahera should be considered too .Bottom line is this could and should be the dive trip of your life I spent around 6000 US for 10 days for 2 people which is rather cheap in comparison to liveaboards Let me know if you need more info . Cheers

Absolutely

@@YannandDoreen I take music for my videos/series from there.

@@World_Of_Ilya_TV I realised that you do , it is by far the very Best music company ,with incredible music composers such as my favorite one Terry Devine-King .

@@YannandDoreen My too

Hey Micha . Nice to hear from you. Thanks a lot for your nice comment. Yes , very good memories in Raja Ampat indeed . All the best for the start of the season , i know you'll do a great job. Cheers Micha. Once again thank you.

Thank you so much Bon Jovi for these outstanding comments.I truly appreciate you writing that. As for the aspect ratio , you are absolutely right 16.9 would have made my films more immersive and I guess more cinematic . To be honest with you I have always overlooked that feature which I realize now was a big mistake . I have even read lately that the new best ratio to use is 2.1 . Thank you very much for watching and for your useful tip .I will definitely change the ratio from now on. Again much appreciated

Hey David , Thanks for watching . Shot with a Sony AX100 and Gates Housing.

Thank you very much for your much appreciated support Khaled, it is very nice of you. Take care

all the best.

To you too Khaled , Thank you!

Danke, jetzt sogar in 4K, sieht fantastisch aus!

Vielen lieben Dank für dein Kommentar! Freut mich das es dir gefallen hat!

Hi Sant , thanks for your nice comment, much appreciated . Yes , my friend , same old AX100 , identical equipment i used for the Bonaire video. This film though , required a lot of fastidious editing as the viz was far from ideal but altogether , Raja Ampat is an amazing place and the AX100 works wonders ! Take care Sant and once again thanks a bunch .

Hi Sant , the viz was actually not so good on most dive sites ( except Fam Island ) when i was there in February , high concentration of plankton but also frequent rain showers and runoff but as you know , that means a better chance for pelagic especially oceanic mantas . Take care and enjoy .

Hi Miru , the whole stay was 12 days , Thank you once more for your support

Thank you very much for you kind comment and for watching the video . You really have to go there , it is a fantastic place . We dove with Raja Ampat Biodiversity nature resort , a land based dive operation . Patricia and Reynaldo , the owners , are great and passionate people . The resort , located in the Dampier strait is within close range of among the best dive sites in Raja Ampat . The area is so popular that most liveaboards dive there too. Honestly , you would love it ,the diving is beyond spectacular . Thanks again🙏

Thanks for watching Scuba lens . You started diving the best diving spots the Blue Planet can offer then. If you want to invest in the best possible video lights , go for Keldan .

Thank you Nurdia

Hi John . Thanks a lot . If you want to snorkel , I would not choose a liveaboard but a land based operation , so you can enjoy discovering the house reef + some boat trips , not all of them obviously .

@@YannandDoreen thank you!

@@Jdmith You welcome John .

Thanks a lot Morten . I mainly use a wide angle lens from Gates . GoPro takes surprisingly good images for such a small device but it is too shaky and unsteady . I would first invest in a good video camera ( and correct the colours in post processing ) but you'll eventually have to purchase a good lighting system because of the lack of ambient light u/w

Thanks Yann, super nice of you. I am going to R4 in March with a tg5 and some lights :D Happy New Year!!

Thanks a lot Morten , enjoy and send me your first videos. All the best for 2019

Will do! Blessed 19!

Hi CJ . Nope, no live aboard , i stayed at the Biodiversity Eco Resort Raja Ampat ( you can read the comment i wrote on Trip Advisor), very close to the the best diving sites . You can get in touch with Rey and Patricia on their website , they will take excellent care of you. It is a place i highly recommend for their best value for money and marvellous setting , simply impossible to be disappointed (rajaampatbiodiversity.com/en/ ).It is located on the island of Waigeo right on the Dampier strait , world-renowned location for its bewildering concentration of flora and fauna. Bring a reef hook along for the currents can be extremely strong ( no current - no life ! ). A 2mm wetsuit will suffice , but better with a full one to avoid fire corals and stinging hydroids. I have already dived many places but i can assure you that this trip will blow your mind away. Feel free should you have further questions . So long.

Hi there , thanks for your comment . Yes AX100 plus Gates housing

Thx for the reply. None for the AX53 it seems. A pity.

Sorry , simply because i do not know anything about the AX53 .Cheers

Hey Butch , the answer is in the text above !

Hey HK . Thanks a lot for your very nice comments , i do appreciate your support .My girlfriend you see (10:01) uses a regular reef hook attached to the BCD . I watched a few of your videos , you and Suki are on right track , nice composition and colour grading , the steadiness is missing but i guess that's the drawback of all Go Pros . Cheers

Yann Faure, Oh that was your gf, and the line simply attached to the bcd. Lucky that you have a good setup of AX100 and Gates housing. As I found out, good footage is more than having good equipment. Great composition, editing and epic music to go with it. Bravo

Once again , thank you very much HK !

Thank you Mr Mansar. I actually dove Friwen Laut .Your country is beautiful.
