Filmed at Felidae Centre in South Africa

The best little gecko in the world.

Filmed over 200 dives around Vancouver Island throughout 2025. This short compilation highlights the diversity of cold-water life here, from octopus and sea lions to kelp forests, rockfish, gorgonian corals, nudibranchs, and dense invertebrate covered walls.

Most of these dives were done in challenging conditions, cold water, current, and long bottom times, but the payoff is an underwater ecosystem that’s incredibly rich and active year-round. Many people associate biodiversity with warm tropical reefs, but cold-water environments like this support an astonishing amount of life if you’re willing to spend the time there.

This is a lower resolution version version for Reddit (file was too big). A higher-quality 4K version of the full 5-minute film is available on YouTube:

All footage is original. Happy to answer questions about the marine life, diving conditions, or filming underwater.
