Calm underwater videos to relax, sleep and unwind to. I set up my camera to film a beautiful section of reef and swim away, so what you are watching is the ocean carrying on without me. No narration, no chasing, just fish going about their day.

What the videos are for

They are for relaxation, enjoyment, inspiration, and whatever you want them to be for. Put one on the TV as a living screensaver when friends are over. Fall asleep to it. Watch while you work. Even your cat might enjoy watching.

Where the footage comes from

The Tuamotus in French Polynesia, remote coral atolls in the middle of the Pacific. The beautiful Cabbage Tree Bay in Sydney, a small protected reserve on my doorstep. Each video is filmed hands-off, so what you see is real ocean life, undisturbed.

The videos

Sleepy Sea Turtle at Shelly Beach

A green sea turtle resting on the reef at Shelly Beach, Sydney. I set the camera down nearby and left it be, so you get a long, calm look at a turtle relaxing. Take a leaf out of its book and do the same.

Sunlit Reef Crack with a Giant Cuttlefish Cruising Through, Shelly Beach

A full hour framed in a sunlit crack in the reef at Shelly Beach, Sydney. A giant cuttlefish cruises by, so keep your eye out to make sure you spot it. Long enough to leave running on the TV, calm enough to sleep to.

Blacktip Reef Shark Over the Coral, Tahanea

A blacktip reef shark gliding over table coral in the shallow inner lagoon of Tahanea, barely half a metre deep in places. Keep a good eye on the reef, as the sharks pass by quite quickly. Quiet, unhurried, and strangely soothing.
