After celebrating the Thai New Year (Songkran) with a big water festival, we are nearing the end of Jahawi and Angelina’s Professional HD Underwater Videographer Internships. The visibility around Koh Tao’s dive sites has been stunning for the past six weeks or so, and the whalesharks have been visiting us almost every day! That should be a good omen for the coming Buddhist year (2556). Our enthusiasm for the small things on the reef continues and is being passed on to Professional Underwater Videographer, Angelina. She completed her BSAC Pro Video Course last year and has returned to take part in the documentary filmmaker internship (Angelina's documentary can be seen here). The busy lives of the cleaner wrasse and cleaner shrimp have captivated her. So, we’ve been off doing what we love best- spending our dives studying the habits of some of Koh Tao’s tinier creatures.

We also have a new BSAC Pro Video Trainee here in the Oceans Below Sairee office. Jahawi is a DJ and music producer from Kenya. He has already been touched by the video bug and can't wait to start his documentary. He’ll get the chance to compose some music of his own for his movie!

Elisabeth has been busy collecting some great footage of the smallest of our island’s nudibranchs. In the two weeks of scouting round the divesites for Corinna’s documentary, we were amazed how many different species we were able to find. So, we decided to make a little movie of our own which is being edited right now.
 And finally, we have been able to film loads of whalesharks in the past few weeks. As nobody is working on a whaleshark movie or project at the moment, Elisabeth put together a short film of what we have been seeing lately. Click here to enjoy it! |

The showreels of Orhiane and Corinna, high-lighting the very best of what’s been happening under water on Koh Tao, have been uploaded and can be seen Here! They have both been certified as BSAC Professional Underwater Videographers and are now completing their documentary internships. 
Nudibranch
Our passion for the macro world has infected Corinna who has chosen to make her documentary on nudibranchs. We are searching every inch of the reefs and sandy bottoms to find as many different species as we can. It’s often a challenge to scan a wall in search of tiny life with schools of barracudas swirling in a tornado or travellies chasing fuseliers in the blue behind your back! 
Corinna filming on her Pro Underwater Video course
While Corinna is focusing on macro filming, Orhiane has chosen to look at the bigger picture. Her stay on Koh Tao and newly-found passion for underwater videography as a result of her course with Oceans Below is going to be the topic of her documentary. 
Orhiane, Pro Underwater Video Intern
Meanwhile, we are expecting the results of the “Voice of the Ocean” film competition any day now. Elisabeth and I submitted our short movie "Coral Suburbia" for consideration. It was the same film which was awarded Second Place in the PAF Tachov International Underwater Film Festival in the Czech Republic last month. Let's see what the next competition brings! |

Elisabeth was especially lucky to be able to film these Flamboyant Cuttlefish mating
It was a great way to welcome the low season on Koh Tao as she immediately cashed in the top prize- a 2 week stay at Eco Divers Resorts in Manado and Lembeh Island Sulawesi, Indonesia! She informs us that it was a magical two weeks of diving where she was able to capture some fantastic footage of some of the area's incredible creatures. It seemed that she was lucky enough to gain HD underwater footage of Mimic Octopus mating as well as mating Flamboyant Cuttlefish! In addition, she informs us that she filmed Hairy Frogfish, Ambon Scorpionfish, Coconut (Veined) Octopus, a variety of Cockatoo Waspfish, seahorses and loads more...
