Mark Doyle, MidWeek Magazine, February 24, 1999, page 34
If you have never been scuba diving, or even if you have, get ready for a fascinating adventure as you dive under the ocean9s surface and swim through Hawaii9s unique and bountiful marine life in Hawaii Underwater....This 30 minute journey takes you in and around coral heads that look like they9re from another world.

Product Description
This production is featured at many world class aquariums like Monterey Bay Aquarium, Birch Aquarium at Scripps La Jolla, Long Beach Aquarium, Maui Ocean Center and the Waikiki Aquarium. The message is one of conservation and appreciation of Hawaii9s magnificent underwater world. The narration was written by Chris Trusty, former assistant editor of Skin Diver Magazine. The Waikiki Aquarium approved the technical aspects of the script and assisted in the identification of the animals. At the conclusion of the video, the viewer is presented with over 60 animals and fish that are identified by their common names.

2.0 out of 5 stars a pretty 25 minute DVD, January 10, 2004

By	unused undeletable account (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hawaii Underwater (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 again. It was a waste of money for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful underwater panorama, June 30, 1999

By	[e-mail] G. West (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

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 Spectacular Underwater Seascape, July 16, 2001

By	"hildy54" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

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!
