we then quickly both became scuba dive instructors and over time we were able to accumulate more than 8500 dives together, mainly in Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia. During these dives, we both noticed how fragile the ecosystems are. Pierre came up with the idea of filming everything he could for fear of not seeing it again one day. Of course, It took years, cause we could not take our gear for each of these dives but whenever we had the opportunity.
Today we were able to identify and filmed in full HD 500 different underwater species. This documentary of 60 minutes retraces these different species with the scientific description and the Latin name of each species. Our goal is to show the world how precious the oceans are and full of life that unfortunately, humanity is likely to endanger.
We sometimes forget that the oceans provide us with more than 60% of the oxygen we need to live. Half of the photosynthesis and removal of carbon dioxide takes place in the oceans. Marine species play a key role in this regulation. It is therefore important to identify and protect them. Unfortunately for humans, this protection is not a priority. On the contrary, the human pressures on the oceans are increasing every day, the impact is irreversible!
Through this documentary, we hope to be able to arouse interest in the various underwater species and their protection. We also say to ourselves that if our future generations also want to be able to contemplate the beauty of our planet, we have to act quickly! If we continue like this, our grandchildren will not even see a quarter of what you see in this documentary.
I would especially like to thank my partner and dive Buddy Lily R. who filmed and helped me editing this amazing video. (And me Lily, would like to thanks the amazing dive buddy and human being that Pierre Bijloos is!)
As well, Laurent Minsart for some macro shots in Lembeh, Indonesia.
