Summary: Experience The Deep
Review: For the love of god! Do not purchase this dvd. It is awful!!! It has no educational or entertainment value! The sound and video is crap! I would give anything to go back in time to get the money I wasted on this damn video. Learn from my mistake! Don't buy anything from Madacy Entertainment! Anyone who recommends this dvd must work for these guys.

Summary: Very Poor Quality for a DVD
Review: I expected excellent image and beautifully composed music, instead got a video tape quality image and music very badly composed.

The price does not compensate for such a low quality work. Instead I recommend spending more money buying another title.

The only reason to buy this title is to find out if your DVD actually works.

Summary: Good for kids
Review: I try to spend at least a few hours a week taking pictures of fish, and bought this DVD so my child - who's not yet swimming, let alone underwater - could see what sort of stuff is "down there." The quality of the video and audio is definitely nothing extraordinary, but the subject matter is fine, the price was right, and I'd rather have my kid watching real live fish than cartoons. Of course, I had to point out which species are, and aren't, found where we live.

Review: It would be more interesting to watch a fish tank for 45 minutes

Summary: Great photography. Tropical fish everywhere!
Review: This is the best value in DVD! I couldn't believe the number of beautiful tropical fish. If you haven't been scuba diving (and would like to) this DVD is a must. This is the closest you will get.

Summary: very relaxing...good price
Review: Video quality is dissapointing. It looks more like video tape than a DVD but if all you want is something that will both interest and relax the viewer then this is something worth buying. The camera work is good, the fish and plantlife are very colorful and the music will put you to sleep. Another thing worth mentioning is a very low price for a DVD. All these things together make this a great deal. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Poor video quality
Review: While the visuals are generally nice, the video/compression quality is very poor. In particular, the quality is very bad in the above water shots of whales and dolphins. I'm not sure how much it shows on smaller TV's, but on a large screen it is very obvious. Also, I said the visuals were generally nice but certain scenes are very 'hot' with poor contrast.

The music didn't excite me much either. It's much better while listening to your favorite composer. Be sure to note that it is 2 channel Dolby Digital as opposed to 5:1. Why someone would encode stereo is beyond me.
