That's my brother there, one of the most experienced divers of Maldives. Proud moment. ❤

[@hudhaaibrahim5459]

Scuba Divine Maldives 🇲🇻 is Number one 🥰🫶🙌

[@goncalopatraquim2521]

Amazing testemony! Thank you for sharing Matthias.

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you so much buddy and happy you liked it. 🙏🏻😊

[@bobherrick4927]

Love it - my favorite movie of yours. The topside footage and drone footage added a lot to it as well.

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you very much mate for your feedback. Means a lot to me. 🙏🏻😊

[@afieldofblue]

Having worked on Dhigurah this does make me a little nostalgic, for the net chairs, electric tricycle rides and mas huni. Lovely shots of Kudara Thila and the Maamigili mantas btw

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thanksgiving for your comment mate. Must have been great working there, just a little jealous. 😉 such a beautiful area 😍

[@bottomtimemedia]

Great video, nice work 👍 Love the drone footage!

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you buddy. 🙏🏻😊

[@lydialeigh4]

This is beautiful Matthias! I hope to make it to the Maldives one of these days, especially now after watching this. The footage is absolutely stunning. Well done. 😀

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you very much Lydia. This means a lot to me. 😊 If you're free at the end of November / early December, we are running a group trip to the Maldives and will be diving a lot of the same dive sites. And we still have some spaces left, so let me know if you're interested. 😉

[@lydialeigh4]

@@MatthiasLebo thanks for the invite and info. I am between jobs right now so it is not likely I will travel this year … but never say never. If something changes, I will reach out! 😀

[@ferdicorreia]

Great documentary Matthias, what a fantastic dive spot, i love it, congratulations buddy

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you so much my friend! Means a lot to hear this from you. 🙏🏻😊

[@sarahstengel9967]

Great documentation! Love it ❤️👍

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you very much. Really appreciate your feedback. 🙏🏻😊

[@ryanmarshik8971]

From above and below the Maldives look amazing! Stunning footage, super clean edit. Just awesome. Perfect timing too… my AP inspiration arrived yesterday. Nice to know I’ll be able to use it outside of Lake Superior’s icy waters(5°C yesterday)🥶

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you very much buddy for your kind words. 🙏🏻😊 That's amazing. These guys will take very good care of all your CCR needs and give you a worry-free experience using your new AP Inspiration in the Maldives. 😉

[@Rifshanshaheem]

Yes its possible use your AP inspiration and we can provide you with all you would need dive your unit

[@Breakingbreak]

will visit here soon❤

[@MatthiasLebo]

Say HI to Rifshan from me. 😁

[@juankeyter4742]

Thanks for sharing…… very educational, for destination diving. Divevolk 👍 from Aruba, and just love my Divevolk Max 4

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate your feedback. Divevolk all the way... 😁💪🏻

[@silreiselust2727]

Ich komme im Dezember, und freu mich schon sehr ❤

[@MatthiasLebo]

Absolut zurecht 😉

[@AdiS7890]

Oh hey, I know that guy!

[@Rifshanshaheem]

We sure did had a great time..

[@MatthiasLebo]

😂😂 he knows you too... 😉

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thanks again for modeling Adi. And I haven't forgotten about the shots I promised you. It's all just taking way more time than anticipated. Sorry for that. 🙈

[@madtripperstv]

Really nice, calm edit. Was this all shot on your Komodo? Hope i'm making the right choice going for the FX3 for my next camera. best i can do with my budget!

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you buddy. Appreciate your feedback. Yes pretty much all of the underwater footage was shot on a RED KOMODO. I'm sure the FX3 is going to serve you well. I've seen some really amazing footage from that camera. But it's not R3D RAW... 😉 Just kidding, I'm sure you're gonna be really happy with that camera. What housing are you going for?

[@silviariegler1794]

Beautiful ❤

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@Jenniferlu2023]

Very nice

[@FLVXVLF]

This is such a great film. I'm hoping to go at the beginning of December! Did you have to apply for drone permits by the way? Hoping to fly while im there also.

[@MatthiasLebo]

Nice, something to look forward to. I’m in the Maldives myself this very moment. Enjoy! 😊

[@MatthiasLebo]

And no, I did not apply for any drone permits. From my experience, as long as you don’t do any stupid things nobody really cares. 😉

[@FLVXVLF]

@@MatthiasLebo haha yeah fair enough! I have my advanced operating certification here in Canada so I always check whenever I go somewhere new. Maybe I'll see you around! Thanks!

[@paul_summer]

Awesome work Matthias! Which drone did you use?

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you mate. Appreciate your feedback a lot. 🙏🏻😊 It was the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Best drone I've ever used so far and incredibly small. Perfect for traveling. 😊

[@paul_summer]

Thanks! Yeah, I love the Mini 3 Pro too. Unfortunately, my pilot skills are not as good ;) Anyhow, keep shooting more mini docs. Very inspiring!

[@MatthiasLebo]

@paul_summer will do. Thanks mate 🙏😊

[@Chaotic133]

Tolles Video und klasse Aufnahmen! Hast du alles mit dem iPhone gefilmt? Natürlich bis auf die Drohnenaufnahmen 😉

[@MatthiasLebo]

Vielen Dank Matthias. 🙏🏻 Freut mich sehr, dass es dir gefällt. Nein, die meisten Unterwasser-Sequenzen habe ich mit meiner RED KOMODO gefilmt. Nur wenige Clips wurden mit dem iPhone im Divevolk Gehäuse gefilmt.

[@nooshahaldane5852]

Is end of September good time to come?

[@MatthiasLebo]

Sure, the Maldives is an all-year-round destination with warm water and good diving anytime of the year. By the way, if you want to book with Scuba Divine Maldives, you can mention the code MATTHIAS LEBO when making your booking to receive 2 free dives when booking a 10-dive package. 😉

[@Cyril8204]

Was it Kudarah thila @3:42?

[@Rifshanshaheem]

Yes it’s is Kudha Rah Thila and it’s 15 to 20min ride from Dhangethi we dive there almost every other day..

[@Cyril8204]

@@Rifshanshaheem I thought so, it's my favorite dive site of south ari atoll.

[@MatthiasLebo]

Such a beautiful dive spot. And it's just one of many incredible spots there. 😍

[@juhanivaihkonenunderwater]

Very nice 👏👏👏

[@MatthiasLebo]

Thank you so much my friend. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙏🏻😊

[@BurhanMuntasser]

I want to go there ❤ Are you getting a ccr now?

[@MatthiasLebo]

😂😂😂 I'm thinking about it. 😉 I'm running a group trip to the Maldives in late November / early December. Just in case you are free and would like to join. We still have a few spaces left. 😊

[@BurhanMuntasser]

@@MatthiasLebo I am very interested. I just have to work on schedule and $$. Won't know for a while. I am still passing through Zurich in the coming few weeks once my meetings are confirmed.

[@BurhanMuntasser]

@@MatthiasLebo Do you have information you can send me about the trip please?
