To you too Khaled , Thank you!
Wonderful! could you please tell me which camera you use, I myself coming back from Raja Ampat, i would advise you next time to visit some incredible place Aljui Bay passage, which is unknown and 3 hours long boat north west Waigeo, from Wasai never saw such beautiful underwater landscapes, with your camera it would be fantastic! you can have a look at my videos (gopro and TG5)
Sorry I didn't see you use a Sony AX100!
Thank you Mireille for your nice comment . It is indeed a Sony AX 100 . I just watched your nice videos , thanks for the useful tip about Aljui Bay passage , i will most certainly consider diving this place nest time i go there. Thanks .
@@UnderwaterJourney Hi Yann. Im planning my visit in July (finally). Can you share your experience. I need some tips on how to get there, what to take, where to stay and where to dive. If you dont mind me asking, how much did the trip to RA cost you?
Hi There , you have two ways to dive Raja Ampat , best is still to do a liveaboard ( which is the most costly too ) because you can obviously cover a larger area but you should hurry if you want to book . The second option is to go to the Biodiversity Eco resort ( rajaampatbiodiversity.com) as they are right in front of the Dampier strait which has nutrient rich waters and therefore incredible marine life and host some of the most awesome dive sites such as Blue Magic or cape Kri , just to name a few.They also have day trips to go as far as Fam islands and Manta sandy ( cleaning station) . But beware , currents are very strong in the Dampier strait (no current no life as the saying goes ! ). Tell me if you want to go there as i know Rey ( the owner)
Misool and Dampier strait are to my mind the best places to dive in Raja Ampat even though Halmahera should be considered too .Bottom line is this could and should be the dive trip of your life
I spent around 6000 US for 10 days for 2 people which is rather cheap in comparison to liveaboards
Let me know if you need more info . Cheers
Hi Alfredo , quite nice way to put it , let us hope though that its fate will take a different turn . Thanks for watching.
Amazing video!!! You make me look like an amateur, wich i am haha. Had a great time with you guys there. Unforgettable good memories. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻
Hey Micha . Nice to hear from you. Thanks a lot for your nice comment. Yes , very good memories in Raja Ampat indeed . All the best for the start of the season , i know you'll do a great job. Cheers Micha. Once again thank you.
this is so EPIC
amazing soundtrack selection, amazing video quality
ONE WORD Inspirational
if it was 16:9 then it would be perfect, but i respect your aspect ratio, as it is your edit
Thank you so much Bon Jovi for these outstanding comments.I truly appreciate you writing that. As for the aspect ratio , you are absolutely right 16.9 would have made my films more immersive and I guess more cinematic . To be honest with you I have always overlooked that feature which I realize now was a big mistake . I have even read lately that the new best ratio to use is 2.1 . Thank you very much for watching and for your useful tip .I will definitely change the ratio from now on. Again much appreciated
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen und sehr schön zur Musik geschnitten!
Schade das der Film nicht in HD ist.
Danke, jetzt sogar in 4K, sieht fantastisch aus!
Vielen lieben Dank für dein Kommentar! Freut mich das es dir gefallen hat!
Wow! Great images! Not a gopro camera, right??
Hey David , Thanks for watching . Shot with a Sony AX100 and Gates Housing.
WOW good job! Can I ask which kind of lenses you use?
Aaaand.. not to take your time, but what is your opinion on what's most important to invest in: Video Lights, or a better camera (than Gopro 4!) Thank you!
Thanks a lot Morten . I mainly use a wide angle lens from Gates . GoPro takes surprisingly good images for such a small device but it is too shaky and unsteady . I would first invest in a good video camera ( and correct the colours in post processing ) but you'll eventually have to purchase a good lighting system because of the lack of ambient light u/w
Thanks Yann, super nice of you. I am going to R4 in March with a tg5 and some lights :D Happy New Year!!
Thanks a lot Morten , enjoy and send me your first videos. All the best for 2019
Will do! Blessed 19!
Wonderful video. Would love to go there in the future. Which island did you use as base or did you do live onboard? Thanks.
Thank you very much for you kind comment and for watching the video . You really have to go there , it is a fantastic place . We dove with Raja Ampat Biodiversity nature resort , a land based dive operation . Patricia and Reynaldo , the owners , are great and passionate people . The resort , located in the Dampier strait is within close range of among the best dive sites in Raja Ampat . The area is so popular that most liveaboards dive there too. Honestly , you would love it ,the diving is beyond spectacular . Thanks again🙏
Can you snorkel here too? Great vid
Hi John . Thanks a lot . If you want to snorkel , I would not choose a liveaboard but a land based operation , so you can enjoy discovering the house reef + some boat trips , not all of them obviously .
@@UnderwaterJourney thank you!
@@Jdmith You welcome John .
Hey Yann, Im considering to go to this resort as well. From ur footage, the visibility seems to be ok for Raja Ampat. May i know when did u visit?
Hi Sant , the viz was actually not so good on most dive sites ( except Fam Island ) when i was there in February , high concentration of plankton but also frequent rain showers and runoff but as you know , that means a better chance for pelagic especially oceanic mantas . Take care and enjoy .
Hey what kamera are you using and how do you edit your videos ?
Hey Butch , the answer is in the text above !
by the way Yann, how long did you stayed there to shoot this film? its stunning
Hi Miru , the whole stay was 12 days , Thank you once more for your support
Incredible video, I watched till the end, totally mesmerised. Will be watching again. I am learning to do better underwater video, I will be taking inspiration from you. I noticed you use a reef hook/jon line to steady yourself in the strong current (10:01), It does not look like a simple hookup on a D-ring on you waist. What did you use?
Hey HK . Thanks a lot for your very nice comments , i do appreciate your support .My girlfriend you see (10:01) uses a regular reef hook attached to the BCD . I watched a few of your videos , you and Suki are on right track , nice composition and colour grading , the steadiness is missing but i guess that's the drawback of all Go Pros . Cheers
Yann Faure, Oh that was your gf, and the line simply attached to the bcd. Lucky that you have a good setup of AX100 and Gates housing. As I found out, good footage is more than having good equipment. Great composition, editing and epic music to go with it. Bravo
Once again , thank you very much HK !

I'm in love! Learnt to scuba dive in Raja Ampat. Can you recommend good video lights under 1k?
Thanks for watching Scuba lens . You started diving the best diving spots the Blue Planet can offer then. If you want to invest in the best possible video lights , go for Keldan .
Welcome to Picture of village Friwen Raja Ampat islands Waigeo

@@UnderwaterJourney Thanks you guys
As amazing as ever!! Did u shoot all this with the AX100 (include the topside footage)?
Hi Sant , thanks for your nice comment, much appreciated . Yes , my friend , same old AX100 , identical equipment i used for the Bonaire video. This film though , required a lot of fastidious editing as the viz was far from ideal but altogether , Raja Ampat is an amazing place and the AX100 works wonders ! Take care Sant and once again thanks a bunch .
did you do a liveaboard? if not what island did you stay on/what dive outfit did you use? going in January, would love some advice!
Hi CJ . Nope, no live aboard , i stayed at the Biodiversity Eco Resort Raja Ampat ( you can read the comment i wrote on Trip Advisor), very close to the the best diving sites . You can get in touch with Rey and Patricia on their website , they will take excellent care of you. It is a place i highly recommend for their best value for money and marvellous setting , simply impossible to be disappointed (rajaampatbiodiversity.com/en/ ).It is located on the island of Waigeo right on the Dampier strait , world-renowned location for its bewildering concentration of flora and fauna. Bring a reef hook along for the currents can be extremely strong ( no current - no life ! ). A 2mm wetsuit will suffice , but better with a full one to avoid fire corals and stinging hydroids.
I have already dived many places but i can assure you that this trip will blow your mind away. Feel free should you have further questions . So long.
Is my country Indonesia ☺️
Your country is beautiful. Thanks for watching
West Papua, ISN'T Indonesia. Trimakesih
Great video. Wish I could leave right now to go there :). Did you use the Sony AX 100 for diving too? I have a sony AX53 but I don't see any affordable underwater housing for it. I saw some but they were 2000 - 3000 dollars. That is a bit exagerated for a 900 euro camera :)
Hi there , thanks for your comment . Yes AX100 plus Gates housing
Thx for the reply. None for the AX53 it seems. A pity.
Sorry , simply because i do not know anything about the AX53 .Cheers
