Reef Life of the Andaman - DVD
Since 2001 underwater videographer Nick Hope has been recording the beauty of the world beneath Thailand and Myanmar's Andaman Sea for scuba diving tourists, religiously classifying and saving the best marine life footage along the way. The result is an unparalleled video archive of the area's marine species.
Now he has compiled the very best of this footage into a 110-minute in-depth study of Indian Ocean marine life.
Taking in the coral reefs of Thailand's Hin Daeng, Phuket, Phi Phi Island, the Similan Islands, Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago and the Burma Banks, we encounter everything from manta rays to seahorses, whale sharks to clownfish. Scores of tropical fish are described. Learn the secrets of this enormous diversity of marine life, or simply enjoy the visual feast and stunning digital soundtrack.
