Weedy sea dragons on BBC life

Hi all,

There is a preview of the next episode of this excellent series here

It is featuring the courtship ritual of the weedy sea dragon-and shows how fanastic this series has been. BBC natural History unit at the top of their game again.

For those of us in the UK, the next episode goes to air on Monday 2nd Nov at 2100.

Sardine Run footage

Same more amazing footage from South Africas Sardine Run in 2007. I think this was taken from the BBC Natures Great Events series that aired here in the UK earlier this year. Stunning visuals, and narrated by Our Lord (!) David Attenborough.

My video on BBC

I am quite ridiculously proud of the fact that BBC news and News 24 used some stock segments of underwater video that I had shot at Capernwray last Wednesday. They used them to illustrate a section on the impact of the banking crisis on small business! Thye sprung the request on me on Tuesday, and I had to let them have some footage that I keep here for illustrating some points on our PADI Open Water course. Given that the clips were not my best work, I was pleased that they got used, and they did actually look really good on the broadcast.

Rightly or wrongly, seeing my footage on a national broadcast has really made me very chuffed!

Watch out for the humpback

More from the fantastic BBC Natures Great events series!

The DVD is out now on amazon. If anyone would like to buy me a (very) early Christmas present!

BBC's Natures Great Events-Sardine Run

The episode of the excellent BBC Natures Great Events series covering the Sardine Run off South Africa's East coast goes to air in the UK on Wednesday night (4th March). If the trailer (and the preceeding episodes) is anything to go by, we are in for some fantastic footage.I am planning a trip to SA in 2010 to dive the Sardine Run-so this is a great program to get your enthusiasm going!
