SCUBA DIVING the MOST beautiful coral reef in the world // EP28
Today we are SCUBA diving the MOST beautiful coral reef in the world - our home reef on Uepi Point!!! We live in a very special place, Uepi Island in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands and SCUBA diving our barrier reef island home is still a massive treat for us every time we get the opportunity. Island life for us is all about embracing this magical world, especially below the surface where we can visit beautiful reef sharks, mobula rays, countless fish species and beautiful corals to name a few highlights - the marine creatures on a scuba dive can be so diverse!
As a family living on an island we are hoping to show you what it is like living in a dive resort and being able to scuba dive coral reef right here on our doorstep! We are lucky to have this beautiful coral reef and all the creatures so close and accessible! Solomon Islands SCUBA diving is remarkable and probably not known by many people around the world - we hope to change that!
Are you a SCUBA diver? Or have you been dying to get certified and maybe have it on your goals list for the new year??

Dived Eupi on my last dive. What a climax to my diving life. Perhaps 150 dives. Now 78years old and Eupi with my best friends was the best diving ever. Thanks guys. Love your work.

The first time I went scuba diving was on a Discover dive off Port Douglas, around 1995 or so. It was awesome! Giant clams! Wildly colorful coral everywhere! Nothing can compare to that first ever scuba dive in Australia over the Great Barrier Reef, before it all got bleached. I couldn't tell if it was your GoPro camera or if the coral was getting bleached, but your video was VERY high contrast and made a lot of the shadows pitch black and washed out the colors. I think you either need to reprocess this video into something with less contrast and to bring out the colors, or, take a video with a better camera that has an inherently high dynamic range.
@TheIslandLifeofUs

Hi yes diving the Great Barrier Reef back in the 90's would have been some of the most impressive coral reefs in the world! Areas are recovered now but it will never be what it once was. ALl this footage was filmed only on a GoPro so there's only so much you can do with the colours in editing especially at 30m depth... but the corals here are still very healthy. We are filming on a much higher quality camera underwater now that the pandemic has ended and we can get things here (GoPro was an excellent option then as we could post them)! Cheers to you, fellow diver and underwater lover!

wow it must be so strange not having dived for so long and I know many are in the same position due to the pandemic and restrictions on normal life... I am sorry for that 😞 There are still many black tip, white tip and tawny nurse sharks around, the occasional great hammer, scalloped hammerheads. Just not on this particular day in paradise! Swimming the shallow reef on Uepi you're very much guaranteed to see black tips!
well done....again. long term freediver here. your house reef looks really healthy and vibrant. would love to come visit and explore as soon as the solomon islands opens up to travelers. if you guys have any info on traveling and what is required to get to Uepi, that might be a good subject to cover.... how can people get to you guys???

We love freediving so much!! I (Katie) am really excited to improve on my free dive abilities this year.. big goals there. There reef is in beautiful condition for sure and I love this question about how to actually get to Uepi... we overlook it because we live it every day but I think many of our viewers from far away would love that! Thanks 🤙🏼

Get to Brisbane, from there you get flights to Honiara, and from there a short but beautifully scenic flight to Seghe, and then a boat ride to Uepi from the Seghe 'parking lot' :-)
I'm an avid scuba diver. I'd love to come and check it out .. where are you

Thanks Kimmy... it is out of our hands now actually 🥺 we are safe though so that's what really matters xxxx sending you all the biggest virtual hugs
So, not much bleaching of the coral from global warming? How does this area compare to the best of the pre-bleached Great Barrier Reef?
