Wow u didnt even seemed phased by that beautiful sea turtle. That was amazing, great video! Must have been so fun to explore these creatures in their world.

The ability to change colors and texture so drastically is amazing. The closest we can come to that is a suntan and goosebumps.

From what I've seen, the Mantis Shrimp solves all of its problems by punching them.

OH MY GOD THERE'S A CUTTLEFISH *completely disregards the grazing sea turtle*

That funny mantis shrimp at the beginning playing "now you see me, now you don't."

Great filming! That's hard to do, esp when snorkeling. It's very clever how you staged the camera and wrangled the cuttlefish to it. You did such a great job!

What I observed about the smasher shrimp's eye is when it's actively hunting for food booth eyes will look around independently of each other until a good target is acquired then both eyes will acquire a lock on the target then move in for the kill.

I know for a fact both contenders are bad asses in their own rite . Mantis for its power punch , and Cuttle fish for its brain power and hypnotizing light show effects . This should be a good one !

This is the perfect video for me lol - add/adhd and a fascination for mantis shrimp and cuttlefish, since I was a kid xD

I fell asleep and autoplay got me here.

Great footage of amazing underwater life. Thank you!

Not really my thing but your narration is natural and not exaggerated, cheers 👍

GREAT video, thank you so much for sharing part of your trip! I find Cephalopods absolutely fascinating, s well as mantis shrimp!

Great footage. Thank you for posting this. Hans and Lotte Haas traveled the world observing & filming ocean creatures - They encouraged Marine Biologists to go to the habitat to learn, instead of dynamiting coral reef to bring to the lab for reassembly (the very old school method!) They believed it was vital to view creatures in their habitat to gather relevant information about behavior. (sorry, got a bit off topic)

I was falling asleep with the relaxing sounds of the air bubbles.

"...feet or hands or I dunno what to call 'em..." Murdersticks :D

Nice filming. This looked like a lot of fun. Cuttlefish are just so weird.

😂😂😂 550 reminded me of a cartoon. Greatt videos.

Thank you so much for sharing your snorkeling trip with us, I really enjoyed it. Awesome footage.

Some great photography; I very much enjoyed watching these creatures close up in their natural habitat. Many thanks :)

It’s like the mantis keeps entering the room for a flamboyant entrance but no one is there to appreciate him.... “haaaa... oh no one’s here...”. “Haaaayyy!!!! ... damnit”... “ heeyyy guys! It’s me!”

3:20 focusing on cuttlefish A WHOLE ASS SEAT TURTLE JUST CHILLIN

Wow man, you got some really great footage of that cuttlefish.. amazing!!

Great shots, hard work! Awesome and thank you!

Those two species are really the "Glam Rockstars" of the ocean. Good footage.

Do you do a lot of diving? I want to go, but know absolutely nothing about it. I've heard Vietnam has some awesome scuba, and is basically the new Thailand since Thailand is so touristy now.

Thank you SO much for sharing these clips--and your enduring efforts at getting good shots! I've long loved cuttlefish, though sadly, the only time I've seen one 'in the flesh' was in a shallow bucket at a Hong Kong fish market..:-( I'm so jealous of you right now!!!!!!

A genuine alien world down there. Life is do different in these places to the terrestrial.

Wow , that's some clear sceneries ! Where is that footage location ? Thanks for upload !

WOW! you have some INCREDIBLE footage of cuttlefish! it reminds me of how spaceships move around in movies! to me the ocean is where the Aliens of this world are! we might give them a name but looks pretty Alien to me. Great video!

@1:00 I just love the perfect TIMING 🤣

super ! would love to know the details of your setup/camera you were using ! cheers

Great patient photography. The Blob who ate me.

Love it thanks for sharing this

You have something here. no waffling on about evolution shite so i didn't need to turn the sound down. great post. more!!!

screw falcon punch, we need mantis shrimp punch

amazing Cuttlefish footage

3:30 TURTLE!!!

Excellent video. Thank you!!

The hairy chested guy is super cute.

Wow!! Incredible nice shots! Thanks for The movie. 👍👍

5:26 its like the spaceships you see in sci fi movies

Pretty sure that octopus you found at the end was dying -- Looked like a female who was either still helping some eggs or she was dying after having helped out the eggs. Octopus moms have to manually oxygenate their young so they will hide under places like that to safely do so.

🎶Cuddles cuddles swimming in the ocean. Causing a commotion, cuz they are so awesome🎶

Dude. Sick ass videos!! Man I would've spent a long ass time filming these guys and just watching them. Pretty raw shots!! Nice and up close! The Octopus was pretty scary to see squeeze in and out of things

If i ever come back as crustacean in another life, i hope its a Mantis shrimp or its next evolving cousin

5:31 JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!

Cuttlefish look like someone made a Funko Pop of Cthulhu.

Some really nice footage! Good work!

incredible sea life!i luv it.looks amazing!

You got some beautiful film of the fish especially, very cool. 😎👍

Amazing animal, great video. It looks so intelligent!

That giant cuttle fish looks terrifying to be close to. I don't think that would stop me though

wait mantus shrimp build walls! donalf trump confirmed photoshop of mantis shrimp with rrump hair

Lol he punched the cuddle fish. Amazing video!

Incredible shots my hats off to you what a strange magnificent creature

Great Video. I Appreciate your Effort. Thanks

Great footage and strategies to get it!!

I Just want how to cook this Mentis Shrimp🔥💥😚😂😍👅Deep Fried or Steam with Garlic.Delicious😝same way cooking the Cuttlefish Seafood menu Always Have.

Are we sure cuttlefish aren't aliens? They look unreal...

beautiful filming

Thank you for such great video ! Great work .

those mantis shrimp are truly amazing

This is so cool,thanks for sharing.

Cuttlefishes remind me of little boats lol

neat video! looks like a lot of fun

This is great. Mantis shrimp i love em. 😉

Good video, thanks for sharing!

long story short there is no fight between them there's a punch?? i didnt see it

The cuttlefish is amazing, man.

Fantastic ! More please

Looks like the mantis shrimp are very dominant, doesn't matter about their size. (scary !!).

Great video. Thumbs up.

I thought this would be mostly about the mantis shrimp and cuttlefish facing off. It took up about 2 seconds.

Just curious as to where this was?

I was adopted by a family of cuttlefish off St Thomas island. I was snorkeling and they kept positioning themselves around and underneath me using me as a shield against something or just checking out the funny looking fish with no gills?

That octopus looked like it had breathing problems

That octopus reminded me of a heart pumping but with tentacles and eyes....

How were you able to eat rice crispies under the water like that?

Mantis Shrimps are the best tasting crustacean bar none!!!😎😎😎😍😍😍

Wow that was cool, both of them. Looks kind of like a squid, octupus.

I’m gonna assume your day job isn’t professional wildlife photographer/film maker, but this was some of the best cuttlefish footage I’ve seen!!! You clearly went to a lotta trouble and were rewarded with some amazing shots. Thanks for sharing!!!!☺️

wow i saw sea turtle so beautiful

When the 2 most unique species began to battle

Let's not be anemones, let's cuttlefish...

What's all that crackling sound? Were you cooking bacon?

Great work . close ups are amazing

Once I went night diving and I found a sleeping one. I gently touched it to see if it would wake up but it stayed asleep.

Hey check out this video too, its a Mantis that grabs a fisherman's boot and punches a hole thru his water boot and draws blood and causing swelling fast. These guys are the badass' of the crustaceans.

He’s going to tell Cthulhu about you chasing him

Beautiful!

Wow cuttlefish are way too advanced 😮

It sounds like he's at a bonfire. I can hear wood crackling

Yes it’s all very interesting but do they taste good in a cocktail or will you get your teeth kicked out 🤔

Is the mantis shrimp a smasher or spearer?

So cool!

You swam right by a giant sea turtle while chasing the cuttlefish. Haha

watch true facts about the mantis shrimp by zefrank he explains it super well esepcially about their eyes ! its incredible!

You did a great job!

his whiskers look like he's waving at you
