Thailand - Northern Andaman Sea Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock

Featured Replies

Thailand Northern Andaman Sea diving Richelieu Rock and the Similan Islands. Richelieu was really amazing I've been diving a long time and this site is definitely in my top five spots ever. I Used a GoPro 11 and two Backscatter video lights. Comments and constructive criticism always welcome I'm here to learn.

excellent, 2 or 3 clips are a little too much warm, you could have slow down the video one the Smalltooth Emperor fish clip...but in General TOP Video, i would never guess that the video was made with Gopro 11

@PeterN That's great stuff! I was there a couple years ago. Wonderful diving. Did you encounter a lot of green water? Also, did you filter your lights at all?

Thank you for the comment. Now that you mention it, the white balance is a bit off on some of the clips and totally agree on the Emperor fish, I could have slowed down the clip a bit. But thank you again for the constructive comments it pushes me to do better next time.

Yes the diving really was really wonderful. For the most part the water visibility was pretty clear except for the last dive at Richelieu Rock when the water turned green and visibility dropped. It's funny the first three dives had great visibility and the fourth and last dive of the day it turned green. Since it is an open water spot it must have been the currents.

Regarding the lights I did not use any filters. Perhaps I should have on a couple of the clips.

Appreciate your comments.

Peter
