Reef Life of the Andaman - DVD

Reef Life of the Andaman is an in-depth study of the marine life of Thailand and Burma (Myanmar), filmed over more than 1000 dives beneath the Andaman Sea at the Similan Islands, Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands, Hin Daeng/Hin Muang, the Mergui Archipelago and the Burma Banks.
The DVD features everything from manta rays to seahorses, whale sharks to shipwrecks. Along the way I describe the characteristics and fascinating behaviour of the huge diversity of marine life from this part of the Indian Ocean.

The DVD makes an excellent accompaniment to the PADI AWARE - Fish Identification Specialty Course and many of the species and their close relatives are also found in other tropical seas such as the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Maldives, South East Asia and Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

The following videos are taken from version 1 of the DVD. Most of this footage is also in version 2, but the content differs slightly from version 2 and will be replaced as version 2 previews become available.
Sharks VideoGrey reef sharks from Myanmar's shark cave and juvenile silvertip sharks from the Burma Banks. Close-up footage of these 2 species of requiem shark. |
Whale Shark VideoRichelieu Rock is a "hot spot" for whale shark sightings and on 4th March 2005 we were there to capture the World's largest fish in all its glory. This female whale shark is missing the top of her tail and would be easy to identify again. All of this whale shark footage and much more is in the DVD. |
