Marine Species Video Library
What is the Video Library?
The Grand Blue Project Video Library is a growing archive of underwater footage documenting marine species, behaviours, habitats, and ecosystems from across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
Built from more than three decades of underwater exploration and filmmaking, the library brings together thousands of curated videos that help users discover, identify, and better understand marine life through visual observation.
Designed to support education, research, conservation, and species identification, the Video Library transforms underwater footage into a valuable marine knowledge resource that can be explored alongside species profiles, taxonomy, observations, and educational content.
Explore the Video Library
Marine Species Videos
Discover footage of fish, sharks, rays, corals, nudibranchs, crustaceans, marine mammals, and countless other marine organisms.
Habitats & Ecosystems
Explore coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass meadows, pelagic environments, muck diving habitats, and other marine ecosystems.
Natural Behaviours
Observe feeding, reproduction, cleaning interactions, camouflage, hunting strategies, and other fascinating behaviours rarely seen on lan
Geographic Locations
Browse footage collected from Indonesia, the Coral Triangle, and marine destinations throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
Linked Species Profiles
Connect video footage directly to species information within the Marine Species Library.
Educational Content
Use video content to support learning, species identification, marine biology education, and conservation awareness.
More Than 30 Years of Underwater Exploration
The Video Library is built upon an extensive archive of underwater footage collected over more than 30 years of diving, exploration, and marine documentation.
With over 80,000 hours of marine footage and more than 5,500 curated species videos currently available on the platform, the library represents one of the largest privately assembled collections of marine video content focused on biodiversity, education, and ocean discovery.
Many of these recordings originate from Indonesia and the Coral Triangle, one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth, providing a unique visual record of species, habitats, and ecosystems that are often difficult to document at scale.
Preserving Ocean Knowledge Through Visual Media
Video has the power to capture details that photographs and written descriptions alone cannot convey.
From subtle behavioural interactions and colour variations to habitat preferences and environmental conditions, visual documentation provides an important record of marine life and changing ocean ecosystems.
By preserving and organising this content, the Video Library helps transform decades of underwater exploration into a resource that can support future generations of divers, students, educators, researchers, and conservation organisations.
Contribute to the Growing Archive
The ocean is far too vast for any single organisation to document alone.
Grand Blue Project welcomes contributions from underwater photographers, videographers, researchers, dive professionals, citizen scientists, and ocean enthusiasts who share our passion for marine education and conservation.
By contributing photos, videos, observations, and species records, individuals and organisations can help expand the collective knowledge available through the platform and support a deeper understanding of marine biodiversity around the world.
