Here's an extended scuba diving video taken at Bida Nok, near Phi Phi Island in Thailand which follows a leopard shark underwater. I just love watching leopard sharks, but unfortunately have never seen one in person. Time for a Thailand scuba diving vacation!

Here's a great promotional video for Kima Bajo Resorts, just outside Manado in Indonesia. The whole environment looks very luxurious and is well presented. The only thing odd is that given it's emphasis on eco diving and scuba diving around stunning North Sulawesi, there's surprisingly little actual underwater footage, mostly towards the end. But what there is features fantastic reefs, corals, colorful seahorses and beautiful schools of fish. Certainly a great all around holiday vacation and would be a trip of a lifetime!

What a great video! Taking while scuba diving in Koh Tao, Thailand, this clip is about a turtle who clearly is enjoying life, and why not? When you can glide through these pristine waters and much on the coral without a care in the world, you would be the happiest turtle in Asia, if not the world! Excellent camera work, nice colour, good editing and fun music selection.

Here's a fairly long video of scuba diving in Phuket, Thailand - notably the Bida Nai and Bida Nok areas. The first several minutes are a close and clear encounter with a whale shark, which is great. The rest of the clip alternates between corals, some macro work (including a beautiful yellow seahorse) and a gliding turtle. What I also like is the brief but interesting surface shots, providing a context to what land masses the diving is near.

Here's a great detailed article of a scuba dive safari in Bali Indonesia. This really is all about the diving, including specific locations and the types of animals that you can find in this part of South East Asia. The last couple pages also touch on the land portion of the trip and the Balinese culture found in Ubud. A fun read with good ideas for any holiday vacation in Bali.
