This visual muzak features gorgeous scenery and soothing music, but little educational content. Actually the cinematography is also
disappointing: the predictable Humpback Whale scenes are mediocre, and all we learn is that their population is growing.
The search-and-rescue training and surfing scenes would probably give you a rush in a theater, but what does that have to do with ocean
ecology? The Siphonophore looks interesting, but in what way?
Species descriptions include vague statements such as this gem from Palau native Francis Toribiong: "cuttlefish is a type of squid".
Marine biologist Laura Martin misinforms us that Jellyfish Lake in Palau was created thousands of years ago by the Ice Age rather than
millions of years ago, but at least she tells us something interesting about jellyfish migration.
The BBC Deep Blue has better visuals; though it offers even less educational value, at least you
would be spared watching footage of humans in a nature film.
