Description

A departure from the cold, shifting tides of the Cornish coast to the sun-drenched, crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea.

This film documents the quiet underwater world of Patmos, a volcanic gem in the Dodecanese islands of Greece. Striking a contrast against the dramatic backdrop of the Rock of Petra and drifting through the seagrass meadows of Livadi Geranou, we explores a fragile, sun-lit ecosystem home to Mediterranean red starfish, curious octopus, vibrant sponges, and shimmering schools of damselfish.

Filmed entirely on an iPhone 14 Pro inside a specialised DiveVolk housing, we explore the striking clarity and unexpected diversity thriving just beneath the surface of these historic waters.

From the geological marvels of Kalikatsou to the sheltered, shallow bays of Agrio Livadi, this is a cinematic look at the marine life of the Mediterranean.

If you find beauty in the quiet corners of our oceans and appreciate independent wildlife filmmaking, please consider subscribing to follow the journey.

Including:
• The Rock of Petra (Kalikatsou): Incredible geology and diverse rock-dwelling species.
• Agrio Livadi: A sheltered bay perfect for spotting smaller Mediterranean fish.
• Livadi Geranou: Pristine seagrass beds and excellent visibility.
• Lampi Beach: Famous for its multicoloured stones and clear shallows.
