Marine Life in Philippines | Scuba Diving in Paradise
In this documentary about marine species and SCUBA diving in the Philippines, I explore the country's best dive locations, to film as many interesting critters as I can.
Philippines offers some of the most rare and exotic fish species to scuba divers, and in this episode I explore the best the country has to offer. Have you been scuba diving in the Philippines yet? You'll want to now!

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).

I agree.
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.

Wow Justin..what a great documentary..Your knowledge about marine life is amazing...
Came here from Every Man Has A Story channel! Love for you to continue your online vlogging!
The underwater beauty in the philippines has never stopped amazing me i lived in the Philippines sense 2004 i am 70 started at 16 throuh through the years i looked in log i have maintsinef sense i have started diving In 45 countries and 12 states . Philippines met my dive hunger .
ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING! Love it man. My first time to watch underwater docu featuring our beautiful country, the Philippines (can't remember watching something like what Justin did). Video pa more... i can sense you can easily adopt the lifestyle here in the Philippines. :)
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.

Great work man, I know how much effort you've put into this!
I am very impressed on what you captured on film, i mean video. Another world.
I can't believe you don't have more views! Your photography is phenomenal - totally jealous! Great stuff - keep it coming!
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.
One of the best diving documentaries I've seen on the KZreads!
almost at the end of your videos justin!!!
Wow! I'm blown away by your excellent documentary about amazing Philippine marine life and its people. Thank you so much for bringing this to our living room in Canada. I should do justice of being Filipino by birth by exploring its seas, just like you did.

Hats off to your research with your diving
You are fortunate to witness the rarest various species of marine creatures OF our mother land one and only called PEARL OF THE ORIENT SEAS PHILIPPINES. Try to journey the deepest ocean in the world located in Surigao del Sur the northern tip of Mindanao. AM very grateful of your video content. Wishing you all the best in your journey with your wife my fellow Cebuana. Watching from Riyadh Saudi Arabia.
This can easily be part of any science class. A good resource video on marine life. Amazingly captivating.
Nat Geo, Local Style! Educational. Enlightening. Captivating. Mesmerizing. Perfectly Paced. Cool Sound Track. Big Bravo to YOU!!
