Absolutely mesmerized by this cuttlefish in super slow motion—watch as it effortlessly snags its prey with incredible precision. The way nature works is just mind-blowing! 🦑✨ #Cuttlefish #SlowMoMagic #OceanLife 🌊
Just bought this for my daughter because of your post. Thanks!
I was warmly welcomed to the local dive site today whilst filming in port Phillip heads by this horseshoe leatherjacket as my dive guide. 🥰 #marinelife #ocean #scuba #marinescience
It is sad, but there are some very smart people I have been working with that are helping to restore these ecosystems.
Don’t despair too much, there are some pretty smart marine scientist working on how to restore these ecosystems. @thenatureconservancyaustralia
It’s thought to be a combination of warming seas which affects the plant and then also allows specific predatory herbivores (urchins) to move further south because of warming waters and they then eat the giant kelp. So it’s a double whammy unfortunately.
Over 95% has been lost. Possibly 98%. It’s really sad because it’s such an important part of the inshore ecosystem.
🌊 Victoria’s once-thriving giant kelp forests are nearly gone—an entire ecosystem lost. But on the west coast near the Otways, we found a rare patch still standing.
We filmed this to celebrate its beauty and document what remains. #OceanConservation #GiantKelp #Victoria #marinelife
Thank you
Stunning shot!
They are tranquil places to hang out.
Not quite a fisheye. 16mm lens on full frame sensor. 😉
Filming cuttles in action is one of the most mesmerizing parts of my work! 🦑 Watching them change color and texture instantly, thanks to their chromatophores, feels like capturing nature’s magic in real time. Truly fascinating creatures! #Cuttle #MarineLife #NatureFilmmaking #ScienceInAction 🌊

One of the highlights of my work is getting to explore diverse ecosystems like this mangrove habitat. From coastal resilience to biodiversity studies, every project reveals something extraordinary about nature. #Mangroves #Biodiversity #NatureWork #EcoProjects #marinelife
blind dog or invisible dog? :)
Australian fur seals are hands-down the most fun animals to film! They’re like the underwater acrobats of the ocean, darting around, pulling off spins, and always looking curious about the camera.

So weird right!
That’s so cool.
Thanks Frank
Ever heard of a weedy seadragon? These funky little guys look like floating bits of seaweed, but they’re actually relatives of seahorses! They’re pros at blending into kelp forests down in southern Australia.

I’m switching to this platform also. I’m an Australian marine cinematographer working on films that show the amazing work scientists are doing to restore our ecosystems underwater. I’d appreciate any follows. 🙂
This is extraordinary behaviour of this smooth ray. Expelling its intestines violently to help get rid of anything it cannot pass. I shot this in Tasmania this year and we think it’s the first known documentation of this species doing this behaviour. Manta rays are known to do this. #marinelife
Great. Thanks Daryll
This #reef is only a few years old. A restored #shellfishreef in South Australia. Prior to this reef being here, it was just a sandy bottom. Check out the life and incredible ecosystem. #scuba #underwaterphotography #photooftheday #science #marinescience

POV filming #giantkelp is Tasmania Australia for a huge restoration project. Easy to get tangled up in. But never had so much fun in kelp. Follow me for more and I’ll follow you back #underwater #ocean #sea #kelp #scuba #matinelife #science #marinerestoration
Amazing
Lovely macro. Beautiful colors
