Wonders Of The Deep - Travel Video.  Madacy Video.   Boxed Set of 10 Video Shows on 5 VHS tapes or 5 DVD discs.  Ten full hours of viewing pleasure.  A fabulous undersea odyssey collection Including (see the descriptions below the image):

Volume 1 - Borneo & The South China Sea.  Wonders of the Deep contains two video cassettes, each about an hour in length.  The content and structure of these videos is very much like what you would find on Discovery or the Nature Channel.  The first cassette chronicles a trip to Sipidan, a Malaysian island off the coast of Borneo, and to Layang Layang, a man-made atoll in the South China Sea.  Both sites offer a spectacular diversity of marine life.
   The second cassette features Florida cave diving and diving off of Key Largo. The cave diving is fascinating in that it is fresh-water diving in caverns underneath the State of Florida.  120 minutes approximately.

Volume 2 - Hawaii, Kauai, Egypt & The Sinai Peninsula.  120 minutes approximately.

Volume 3 - Emerald Sea, British Columbia Shipwreck.  120 minutes approximately.

Volume 4 - U.S. Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands.  120 minutes approximately.

Volume 5 - Costa Rica, Cocos Islands, & The Galapagos.
This is a 2 tape set with 4 shows from the Wonders of the Deep series.  The first tape contains a show on Costa Rica and the Cocos Islands showing both topside and underwater excitement and all the reasons this is a top diving destination.
The second tape is Australia and the Great Barrier Reef... need we say more!  Scuba divers and non-divers will enjoy these tapes for sure.  It is sort of a "travel agent type" format and you will enjoy everything from the swimming with hammerheads in Cocos waters to great whites in Australia.  120 minutes approximately.

The 5-volume set is no longer available, but the 4-volume and 3-volume sets (shown below) are still available)

Coral Sea Dreaming - Travel DVD.  DVD International.  Identifies over 350 species of fish and coral.  78 minutes.

This is a spectacular DVD!  If you are looking for some "eye-candy" to impress your friends with your new DVD player, then look no further. The video on this DVD is fantastic, crystal-clear closing in on HDTV clarity.  The undersea camera work is great, high caliber work all around. The soundtrack is appropriate to video, relaxing and "new age", done in Dolby Digital.  Also, there is a screen saver for your PC on the disk.

   There is an education feature of sorts too, if you turn on subtitles, they show up to name the underwater creatures.

   My family once owned the video to this movie.  It was so relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful.  The first time I saw it, I fell asleep (that's not a bad thing).  This a great video for the whole family; babies will be mesmerized by the color (then quickly put to sleep because of the music), kids with be awed, teens will find it very fascinating, and parents can take a well needed break.  This video/DVD can take the stress out of anyone's day and turn a bad day upside down.  This movie wasn't made to have a plot, it was created just to be beautiful. Everyone should own this; I highly recommend it.

   Coral Sea Dreaming shows a variety of ocean life and habitats, both under and around the water.   Compared to relaxation DVD's, this has the highest quality picture that I've seen. The picture on a widescreen rear projection TV needed no adjustments.  78 minutes

Into The Living Sea - Travel DVD.  IMAX Video Productions. The Living Sea takes you to the world's oceans, traveling to Palau, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Alaska, Nova Scotia and the Red Sea.  Explore the mysterious depths and come face to face with life-sized humpback whales when you dive into "The Living Sea."  Swim with thousands of golden jellyfish and witness the bizarre spawning behavior of giant clams.  Surf in Hawaii, deep-sea dive in Palau and test your courage with the Coast Guard in some of the world's roughest seas! Follow a remotely operated vehicle 3,000 feet down through the ocean depths to view strange creatures (one as long as a football field!) which live where sunlight never penetrates.  "The Living Sea" celebrates the "world ocean"--its beauty, diversity and importance to all life on earth. Music by Sting; narrated by Meryl Streep.  Ever wonder "how did they do that?" "The Making of 'The Living Sea'", shot in High-Definition Video, takes you behind the scenes.  117 minutes

REVIEW:  The films from IMAX have come to be known for their cutting-edge cinematography. They don't disappoint with The Living Sea, an Academy Award-nominated documentary exploring exotic marine locales. Using dizzying aerial and time-lapse footage, they provide underwater imagery usually accessible only while wearing fins and a mask. From heavy-surf Coast Guard drills off the coast of Oregon to jellyfish in Palau to North Atlantic humpback whales, veteran IMAX cameraman and director Greg MacGillivray takes viewers on a vivid journey into some of the world's most breathtaking environments and shows us some of the rarest and strangest marine life. Ten years from conception to finished product, this documentary's intended message is the importance of protecting the "world ocean" by displaying its wild beauty and diversity.

   The Living Sea does an excellent job showcasing the more visually satisfying aspects of the sea (standout footage includes schools of jellyfish performing a graceful migratory dance and a giant cuttlefish changing brilliant colors for the purpose of camouflage), although ultimately it fails to shed much light on the hows, whys, and urgency of marine conservation. However, despite the short running time (unfortunately characteristic of IMAX productions) and a soundtrack that only true Sting fans will fully appreciate, this film proves to be a remarkable treat for the eyes and is sure to elicit heartfelt oohs and aahs from anyone who loves the sea.

Oceans: Fiji Islands - Travel Video.  Watermark Multimedia.  Discover a tropical paradise as you explore the fabulous Fiji Islands with the Oceans video crew.  With more than 300 islands surrounded by 80,000 square miles of crystal clear aquamarine water, Fiji promises a unique dive experience and an unforgettable island vacation.
     Join us for a 60-minute Fiji vacation as we tour the very best dive regions in this world-class destination.  Cruise along spectacular pinnacles and dramatic walls dripping in brilliantly-hued soft corals.  "Bommies" that rise to within a few feet of the surface are carpeted with a rich tapestry of corals that shelter vibrantly-colored tropical fish.  Encounter the local marine denizens up close and personal --- manta rays, sharks, blue ribbon moray eels, sea snakes, and a rainbow of Pacific tropical fish and invertebrates.
   But that's only the beginning.  We'll take you to explore Fiji's mountains, lush rain forests, cascading waterfalls, exotic flora, and palm tree-lined fringing sand beaches.  You'll visit charming luxury resorts and live aboard dive boats and join the local villagers for a "meke", a bowl of "kava" or a taste of fresh coconut right off the tree.  It's all part of the Fiji experience.  Let your imagination run wild...because, underwater or on-island, Fiji has it all!  60 minutes.  - Out of Print -

Hawaii Dreams - Travel DVD.  Powerfloe Network. 

This DVD is virtual bliss.  It's a wonderful gift to be able to escape and enjoy the Hawaiian waves and sunsets.  It's natural bliss.  If you're expecting a quick music montage of Hawaii's beauty, this is NOT your video.  However, if you really want to relax and experience Hawaii's natural beauty - virtually - this is it!

   All six islands are captured in their own unique ten minute segment.  Spend a few minutes with each non moving, non zooming shot, just sitting there.  Listening to the waves, and letting your mind wander... Without quick 'Hollywood' editing, you are invited into the shot to relax and admire mother nature's rhythm and flow.  Each segment consists of 5 shots lasting a few minutes each, capturing a complete day ending with a marvelous sunset.  It truly is a 'mind massage' meant for you to just relax, do nothing, and be! (I have been so relaxed that I have drifted off to sleep.  That's really a blessing considering everything.)

   Much more soothing than a fish tank or fireplace, you'll be gratefully transported to a far off land of peace and beauty.  Share this wonderful gift with your friends and family. They'll thank you for it.  74 minutes
