Symphony in Colors

I'm down there. Water all around me. I'm floating almost weightlessly. A wonderful feeling! Eyes open! There's so much to see.

The world of colors is magnificent! From deep blue to far beyond anything imaginable.

The fascination begins!

Let's go! Grab the camera, get filming!

The world of colors is readily available to all divers and easy to see. This is no problem in shallow waters down to about 15 meters. Below that, it becomes more difficult. But you can always take lights with you.

This is especially essential for videos. However, even then, you can always turn the lights off.

I created the video in Raja Ampat during one of the many dives on the liveaboard «Dewi Nusantara».

Some excerpts from the video

Identifying the species of the animals isn't easy for me, as I'm not an expert. Dive guides are a great help here. Internet help is also available, but it's often difficult to find the right species.

If you find any discrepancies, please let me know. The best way is via E-Mail.
