Tubbataha Reef Diving via Expedition Fleet Oceanic Explorer

Tubbataha Reef diving is a truly unique experience. Rated among world's top ten dives, this UNESCO World Heritage site features vivid colors, variety of unspoiled corals and abundance of marine life. Diving on this twin atol ranges from shallow coral gardens to the immense vertical walls, splendid night dives and multiple wreck sites. On the other hand, I must admit that even here, a lot of damage to the corals could be seen and planning of diving on the liveaboard trips could potentially be improved from the part of the Expedition Fleet operator. For a detailed video review of the ship (Oceanic Explorer) and the whole liveabord diving trip, please check out my video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d10k8vAkRw Keywords: tubbataha,reef,expedition,feet,oceanic,explorer,stella,maris,ocean,sea,diving,scuba,site,unesco,world,heritage,philippines,palawan,sulu,dive,coral,pelagic,fish,manta,ray,shark,bank,jack,tuna,moray,eel,dragon,scorpion,liveaboard,safari,trip,marine,manila,luzon,park,gopro,north,south,atoll,wall,puerto,princesa,Underwater,barracuda,video,review,chase,boat,safety,nitrox,air,night,sanctuary,octopus,nudibranch,ranger,station

I love this video. Ocean life can be so peaceful. I just look at it and think "wow, look what God has made. It's so beautiful." I want to be a part of trying to save our oceans. If people don't take care of the earth then things like this will be gone some day.

how does this look so good, when i went to tubbataha i also used a gopro and i had the dive housing, but it looked bad. pls give me some advice

+Sage Sy to get the best results with the color grading, use adobe speedgrade

In fact, I am the only serious spectator of my videos, cause no one really cares, not even my family, that is being force fed every time I have a new vid. The equation is like this - 1 minute of final edited video = 1-2hrs of editing. This tubbataha video took me something like 3 weeks to edit ... 3-4 hours every day.
So lets simply face the truth: unless it is you wanting to make these videos for yourself to be happy with it, it is a waste of time. Believe me. I will finnish editing the footages I made so far and thats it. I will only be filming short clips on special occations. Good luck :-)
SEA - AIR - LAND
SEA - AIR - LAND - 10 years ago
Well, I am not a pro but filming is all about light. Where theres no light, your videos will be poor, and the deeper you go, the worse it gets as you lose the light and color. So FYI, I had to dump 95% of my footages that were simply crap for this reason, because I dont have any additional lights. If you had the expensive lights though, then GoPro would probably be too cheap to do the filming, so this doesnt help.
Second thing is post production ... use some good SW to tweak the video (curves, shadows highlights, saturation, sharpen, etc.). I use Premiere CS6 (make sure your GPU supports HW acceleration for the particular SW). There are tons of tutorials, try e.g. creativecow.com
The bottom line ... be prepared to waste A LOT of time with video editing. Afterall nobody will really watch it as there are tuns of the same video s**t everywhere and you will never even get close to professionals. It will always look kinda lousy compared to discovery channel.
