As a snorkeling snob - Kandolhu house reef is 100/100. It may be the best in the entire world. It's definitely significantly better than anywhere else I've snorkeled (Maui, Phi Phi Islands Thailand, Dominican Republic Caribbean side, St. Thomas, Barbados, California coast, Moorea Tahiti, etc

Very nice!

Hi, first of all I would like to congratulate you on the truly fantastic video. In addition to the GoPro, I would like to ask you what equipment you used in the video, for example filters, wide angle, lights. thanks Roberto

[@SnorkellingintheMaldives]

Thanks, very kind. In terms of equipment used, it is literally just a GoPro 8 and a waterproof extension pole like the one below. No filters, lights, additional lenses, etc. tinyurl.com/bdcmw6ya I do some basic video editing in iMovie once the footage has been filmed, but nothing beyond the basic settings (cropping, image stabilisation, colour matching, etc).

Very beautiful video: no superficial just awesome shots 😊

[@lindalundmark9755]

WOW!!!!

[@kammycreative]

Is this snorkel ? Looks like scuba diving ?

[@SnorkellingintheMaldives]

Yes, this is all snorkelling. I do free dive down below the surface to get better footage, but no scuba involved.

[@ahmetmurateken901]

Great shot...When is the best time of the year for best water clarity in Maldives with less microparticules in water? I!m just a snorkeller and what to see best visiblity time..Thanks in advance

[@SnorkellingintheMaldives]

The 3 month period from mid-January to mid-April tends to be the best time to visit for water clarity as this lines up with the 'high season' weather wise which generally means less wind and calmer seas. Unfortunately this is also the most expensive time to visit. We have always travelled in March and have been lucky enough to have fantastic weather and great visibility when snorkelling on all of our trips.

[@vimoltipeiamsakulrat5103]

Great video! We are there right now. Where did you spot the bay ray? What video settings did you use on GoPro? Thank you.

[@SnorkellingintheMaldives]

The Eagle Ray towards the end of the video was on the longer side of the reef, between the water sports jetty and the water villas. In terms of settings it was 4K, 60FPS, Wide lens, Hypersmooth = High, and all other settings are as standard. Enjoy your time at Kandolhu!

Great video! Did you use red filter?

[@SnorkellingintheMaldives]

No, I did not use any filters. Personally I don't think that filters are really necessary in shallow water and the latest GoPros do a very good job of capturing the colours. Some people prefer to use a 'pink' filter for snorkelling, but red filters would definitely be too much and are really meant for deeper water when scuba diving. There is some colour optimisation done in iMovie when editing the video, but for 90% of the footage it is just applying the basic 'auto enhance' feature in iMovie, not manually editing white balance or other more advanced features. If you don't want to edit your videos in iMovie (or similar) then a pink filter may give better results than the standard footage.
