5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful underwater panorama
Visually engaging and delightfully colorful, the Trustys take you on a personal guided tour of their Pacific playground. I was immediately enthralled by the vivid colors Lew was able to capture through his lense. What is clearly evident in this video is the love the Trustys have for their Hawaiian home. They share the beauty and wonder of Hawaii's underwater...

2.0 out of 5 stars a pretty 25 minute DVD
This DVD is pretty. But, as it does not disclose on the cover, it is only 25 minutes long, er, short! It's just too short. It does identify about a dozen sea creatures, and it does take you to a few dive spots. That's it. And as to the non-English support, it has no subtitles (the fish ID's were subtitled only) -- only dubbing.

Watch it once and you'll never watch it...

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful underwater panorama, June 29, 1999
This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Visually engaging and delightfully colorful, the Trustys take you on a personal guided tour of their Pacific playground. I was immediately enthralled by the vivid colors Lew was able to capture through his lense. What is clearly evident in this video is the love the Trustys have for their Hawaiian home. They share the beauty and wonder of Hawaii's underwater wildlife. As a teacher with 20+ years experience, I found this an extremely useful educational tool as well. It shows the great diversity of aquatic life. With dancing rays, shy Hawaiian monk seals and graceful dolfins, Hawaii Underwater is a great video for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best underwater video on the market!, July 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Lew did an outstanding job of capturing our Hawaiian underwater population. While explaining how fragile the environment is and showing ways to help save it, he also heightens the excitment that surrounds it. The naming of the species at the end is some of the most educational footage available to a scuba diver today. As a PADI Certified Scuba Instructor I'm happy to have these kinds of materials to supplement my training. Great job Lew - it's always great diving with you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic underwater footage! A cute cast of characters., July 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
What a great Hawaiian underwater video, one that everyone will love and treasure. All ages will be captivated by the cast of underwater characters. It's about time that Hawaii has a great video of our reefs and the life that lives there. The Trusty's have done a wonderful job of bringing our sea life to our homes and families. Outstanding Job!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Underwater Seascape, July 16, 2001
By 
This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Stunning scenery caputures your attention in this well made Hawaiian Video. If you scuba dive- this will bring back wonderful memories. Speaking of memories- if you liked this, you might enjoy experiencing the beautiful beaches and sunsets in "Hawaiian Dreams." It too, takes you on a wonderful journey to all 6 of the diverse Hawaiian Islands. You can't go wrong with either of these awesome videos. 5 STARS each!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular ocean footage!, July 15, 2004
By 
This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Hawaii Underwater remains as one of the best videos ever produced on the ocean! The creatures filmed are very colorful and some may be intimidating. Renowned filmmaker Lew Trusty deserves much thanks for this magnificent movie! Though very short in time length (30 minutes), it seems that hundreds of ocean inhabitants have been easily photographed underwater. There is also much anticipation of Trusty producing and selling more of these remarkable types of videos on the market.

Beautiful footage that brought back great memories of my several trips to Hawaii, and in particular, of snorkeling... something that I would happily do DAILY if it were possible! Well worth owning and watching again and again!

5.0 out of 5 stars a Great view of the reefs taken by one who loves them, June 28, 1999

This review is from: Hawaii Underwater [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The Trustys have done it again. Always super photographers and writers, this view of Hawaiian reefs is one of their best. Lew takes you to the heart of the reef to visit the residents (his friends) he shows it in all its beauty, up close and personal. As a diver of 45+ years, a former Chief Engineer of U.S. Divers and a founder of the Underwater Socity I've seen lots of film. This is of the best. Lew has the touch and the feeling to make it live.
