Oceans: Nature's Aquarium DVD

Absolutely blown away by the beauty of this video.My husband and I use to scuba dive up until his health grounded us and I have missed our diving trips immensely. So I started looking for dvds to play on our large screen tv. Most of the ones I’ve purchased have left me with just a “ho hum” feeling until “Ocean’s:Nature’s Aquarium” came along. I absolutely love this dvd. The corals are gorgeous and the variety of sealife is amazing.This dvd leaves all the others in the dust. If you are looking for a truly awesome coral and sealife dvd then grab this one - you definitely won’t regret it 😊👍

This is a very vibrant and uniquely crafted journey through a variety of diverse coral and black sand landscapes. The reef scenes are stunning and rich with marine life from some of the most remote corners of our planet. I was especially engaged with and entertained by the marine biologist/cameraman's commentary on the habitat, fish behavior and what it took to capture the image. This information gave me a much better appreciation for not only how privileged we are to see these microcosms of life but also how challenging it can be to capture natural moments without impacting or disturbing these creatures. Who needs aquariums when I can experience an incredible underwater tour over and over in the comfort of my home?There are several options for playback; choice between cameraman commentary or pleasant original music as well as the ability to set the playback to continuous. In addition, there is a bonus featurette about artificial reefs - from cool WWII wrecks to modern day coral cultivation grids.This production team has created two other titles in the Nature's Aquarium series. I have all of them in my library as each provides a different point of view through the blue window of our planet. All highly recommended!!

And after watching it with her, I think I'm going to get one for myself! She has always loved aquariums but she is just too busy to take care of one. This solved that for her! A 60" HD aquarium without the expense & time!The HD looks great on her TV! She was very excited when she found out that it was on a loop. She doesn't have to stop what she's doing, such as quilting, to restart it after an hour. She enjoys the music & the commentary but prefers the natural sounds. She hasn't ever been diving, so seeing all the various COLORFUL fish & creatures that live on the reefs & just under the surface has been fun for her!I have traveled quite a bit to various places in the Caribbean & I have went scuba diving & snorkeled in some beautiful places. It doesn't quite replace that & it certainly makes me want to head south but it will hold me over until my next trip!All in all, I would definitely recommend this DVD to anyone that loves underwater sea life! The reefs are teeming with life & color! The videographer did a splendid job!

What can I say....WOW! The video stands out, all by itself, but recently I turned on the "titles", thinking that it would just show the fish names, but "No", it is actually typed narration of what is going on in the scenery you are watching, by the person that filmed the clip, who just happens to be a marine biologist. It adds an entire new dimension to what you are watching when you understand part of what is going on before your very eyes.I bought this to watch while rowing, but it's fascinating just to sit and watch. There are all sorts of unique marine life in this video, and the bonus track also shows "Man made reefs", such as sunken boats, or a bunch of tires tied together of all things. Pretty cool stuffI would whole heartedly recommend this video to anyone.

Purchased for our kids room to play at bed time. Perfect for what we were looking for. Very relaxing and soothing. The continuous loop and options for music and nature sounds are very convenient as well. Lovely underwater scenes.

I agree that the music was very good; however, there is one scene where there are worm-like creatures bopping up and down which I absolutely hated. It didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the video. Hardly relaxing. I would hate to have that scene come up with company around. I'm sure people would think - what the heck is that? Unfortunately, I won't be able to use it when entertaining as I had hoped. In addition, some of the coloring seemed artificial. Overall, I was disappointed. I bought Reefscapes for my Mom, and I think it is a much better video.

Just what I was looking for, for my big screen tvs. I use them in the summer and have it loop to play continuously ---perfect when we entertain in the summer---so pretty! Plan to order his other underwater dvd . Sometimes we turn up the narration and enjoy hearing him explain what we are seeing--(cool Australian accent)Also is a great thing to have playing on your tvs if you are showing your home to sell-----it totally creates a beautiful ambient mood!!! You can choose the music to play with it or turn it down to enjoy only the scenes.

I love, love, love this dvd the quality is so awesome! I play this on my big sceen tv......WOW !!! I look just like a real aquarium. It will de-stress, calm you down. After a long day......turn down the lights..... soft music.....pop this in your dvd player and a glass of your favorite drink. Oh! ... your favorite chair you will be amazed!!! And for the price compared to a large fish tank.....this DVD is a winner hands down!!
