This video was selected for screening at the 2023 San Diego Undersea Film Exhibition along with other renowned underwater cinematographers such as Howard Hall. It was an honor to be selected and receive feedback from these experienced professionals.
This short video highlights the amazing colors and marine life behavior divers can witness at night in Bonaire. It starts out at Bonaire's famous Cargill Salt Pier. You will witness how a large sea horse behaves as it moves to avoid our lights including how it swims. You will witness the mating ritual of Butter Hamlets. We share how we approach marine life to capture them on film and to do so in a way that does not damage their eyes. You will discover the amazing colors revealed underwater at night under the right lighting. Our hope is this film will encourage divers to go out at night and experience these wonders and do so in a way that preserves the ocean environment.
