We've just released an aquarium DVD — Reefscapes: Nature's Aquarium. It's full of beautiful underwater scenery to play on your widescreen TV. Unlike other aquarium DVDs on the market, this one wasn't filmed in a fish tank — it was filmed on the pristine coral reefs of the Fiji Islands, in the tropical South Pacific. You can watch a preview online.

Nuku'alofa, Tonga. Last night we were at the screening of the promo video we filmed for the Tonga Visitors Bureau. Rob Barrel, the producer, hosted members of the Tongan media and various government officials for a lively evening aboard his ship — and our former home — NAI'A. The video was well received, and there ensued a friendly scramble to get copies! Thank you, Rob, for this opportunity.
