Hey Justin

[@CritterHunter]

yo!

[@AlanFannin]

Hey Philly, you still chasin permits? LOL

[@marilynt9599]

diving under that pier was one of the best dives of my life. Siquihor is a personal favorite of mine! That blenny is beautiful

[@nandouy6888]

Thanks for virtually taking us down underwater in Siquijor to savor its beauty Justin. You're really super!

[@CritterHunter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nandouy6888]

@@CritterHunter Enjoy indeed viewing your blogs Justin.

[@AquaSplendor]

Damn, I rarely watch an hour of video, bravo. It's just insane the amount of little pod/shrimp/baby of whatever that swim everywhere.

[@CritterHunter]

Haha yep. Thanks for watching

[@samsaguindel]

If you have time try diving from Bagsa beach. My mom told us during WWII they would watch from the Nonoc hills the Americans sink Japanese ships. Maybe you would find new ship wreaks. My father fought in Leyte as an U.S. Filipino 1st Regiment member, please read about them

[@CritterHunter]

Someday I'll check it out

[@rickylee6129]

AWESOME 👌 👏 👍

[@darren1540]

Easily the best and most interesting diving channel ive come across, you're putting these big budget documentary film makers to shame! great work. can i ask your average dive depth? i prefer dive time over depth so looking for and photographing these little critters can be more relaxing, just wondering if i will be able to find these in the shallower depths up to 15 to 20 meters max?

[@vondoromal7016]

Magnificent! Thank you for taking me on your journey in life. You can definitely show more of the sights and sounds of the communities around where you dive. It's great for content!

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks, I'm going to try doing more of that more often

[@atebabytorres6357]

It was just an exhilarating experience to watch all those beautiful, colorful and strange looking sea creatures you've found!! It was so wonderful of you to share your discoveries with us. So I am very thankful for all your and your crews efforts in making this amazing documentary!!! It was truly amazing!!!!

Thanks for promoting one of our beautiful island/Philippines. Good Narrative about Siquijor!😘Love the underwater beauty.

[@loriechilson925]

Hi Justine - you sure know how to put the beauty of the ocean's occupants on stage - creatures with colorful wardrobes - delight to watch. These creatures sure know how to pick the perfect color to display themselves. On the other hand, looks like you have an incredible time following them as they go about their daily lives - unique creatures indeed! The amount of effort you're putting into each video is truly an amazing endeavor - well done! Keep it up!

[@makiavelli6101]

That's one part of Siquijor that I will never personally see...underwater. Thanks for the vids, quite nice to see it through you folks.

[@gingerl2995]

Really beautiful and majestic place. You did a great job capturing it and teaching.

[@CritterHunter]

You're too kind

[@Stanly450]

Your so lucky to visit Siquijor. The marine biodiversity is mind blowing. Thanks for featuring this paradise.

[@samsaguindel]

Justin what makes this video most epic is the angle of watching you do your thing. I also love your oral interpretations. Power on from Northern California

[@CritterHunter]

Thanks Sam!

[@claribelpalomares260]

An hour of pure beauty! One of the best! Siquijor is really a diver's paradise. It boasts of many different life forms/species underneath that you never knew existed. You documented each specie beautifully, esp love the swimming black flatworm. I love ur sense of humor... the specie's long eyelashes that made Judia jealous nd the nudie couple mating was hilarious, haha! Also, u have a way w words, Justin, nd a soothing voice. It's as if you were reading a bedside story to ur viewers. Love this docu nd one that u should do often. It maybe hardwork but nothing would satisfy/fulfill u more. Seeing this made me wish even more to b able to swim/dive but then again, u brought me along w ur adventure nd opened my eyes to the wonders below. I was not left out. Thank u for this, Justin. Wonderful to see those array of colors. All the best! God bless.

[@claribelpalomares260]

Correction, pls, "bedtime" not bedside, hahaha ( my eyes playing tricks on me, so late at night writing this).

[@paulwidjanarko966]

Hi, Justin. I love your channel and your documentation video and photo. I am using Olympus TG6 too, It is amazing pocket camera with amazing footage video and photo. I see your video and photo a bit over expose as I have the same problem at first using TG6 although I have reduce the exposure to -0.7 but no different. I know the problem right away and I change the setting of metering to spot will solve the problem and I can use lower ISO 200 to take photo and video and with decent shutter speed over 1/160 to 1/250th. I hope this help you to create much better footage.

[@reynaldolaure7763]

[@CritterHunter]

My pleasure!

[@CHEFTAUCHER]

I like your Videos and I love to dive in the Philippines. Your movie about Siquijor is a good motivation to visit this island again. About 20 years ago I was there with my family. We had a lot of rain, and the visibility underwater was like diving in milk coffee. The only highlight was the night diving at the Siquijor Pier on the other side of the island. But after your Clips maybe I have to put it on my bucket list again.

[@CritterHunter]

Go for it! Thanks!

Are there dive resorts and dive centers there in Siquijor? What was the average depth there and how long do you stay u/w in a single dive?

[@CritterHunter]

Yes, I mentioned apo diver resort lots of times. Link in description. There is no average depth because we did 55 dives at many depths. The night dive we liked was only 5m or less though. And we did 2 hour dives there
