5 out of 5 stars Interesting   July 25, 2010

But tge information given on each category was rather limited. Would have liked to have more.


3 out of 5 stars Wasn't what I expected   May 6, 2009

I ordered this DVD for our 11 year-old son, thinking it would be an enjoyable learning piece for him, given his fascination of Marine Biology.

As we found this to have beautiful underwater filming, and somewhat informative segments, it was very lengthy, and soon became boring. Not just to our son, but our entire family.

Also, it is not a good device to use scholastically; our son knew most of what was discussed in the DVD (about the different fish and their habitats) from his 5th grade education.

So, if you're just looking to buy a DVD with some very beautiful underwater scenes, this one is fine. BUT, if you're wanting something more of a study guide, I'd pass.




4 out of 5 stars Beyond the Blue : Tropical Marine Life REVIEW   December 18, 2008

Awesome video, very informative. Easy selection of types of fish / etc. to see video and facts of that species. Was hoping to see a wider variety of marine/aquarium fish. But still is a great video. I would recommend this to others.


5 out of 5 stars Absolutely recommendable   August 8, 2008

Obviously a heck of a lot of work went into this. Hats off to the makers. Stunning footage, easy menu, incredibly informative. I use this as a teaching tool and highly recommend to anyone who is interested in life beneath the sea.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent but not a reference guide   December 15, 2007
D. Elwood (Bridgewater, NJ United States)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This DVD is awesome as an instructional, fairly comprehensive guide to marine life. It can not, however, be used as a reference to look up species and search, for instance, for the name of a fish sighted. The best way to use this DVD is as an enjoyable movie of all varieties of fish life. The camera work is exceptional, the number of species highlighted is good, the facts presented about each species are interesting. All in all, a great value and a good way to prepare for carribean dives but cannot be used as a reference.
