GRK-DVD-NWA - In our second of a two part series from Western Australia, we continue to travel a northern route up the western coast along the Indian Ocean.
The temperatures begin to heat up, the further north we travel. The coral coast is in the hot and arid tropics of Northwest Australia.
In Geraldton, we join the Batavia Coast Dive Academy and board Australia's only amphibious rescue helicopter to fl y 35 nautical miles off shore to the famous Abrolhos Islands and dive its spectacular coral gardens which offers a home to a unique mix of tropical and temperate marine species. With warm southern fl owing currents, it creates a marine environment that breeds both tropical and temperate sea life to thrive in an area they wouldn't normally be found.
Further Northward we visit Coral Bay - part of the famous Ningaloo reef - heralded as the most pristine reef system of Australia. The Ningaloo Marine Park begins about 100 km north of Perth.
Our Northwest coast diving adventure finally culminates at Exmouth a town built by the United States Navy in the 1950's and home of the famous Navy pier. Here a mass spawning of more than 200 species of coral occurs in March and April each year and is part of a chain of biological events that herald the arrival of whale sharks.
At Exmouth we also dive around the famous Muiron Islands a marine management park area. Sit back and watch this adventure unfold as we travel by camper van through the bush country of beautiful Northwest Australia.

GRK-DVD-KWA - Ernest Hemmingway lived, fished and wrote on this island he called home.
Join 'Dive Travel,' a video adventure series, for its first production, filming the introduction from the front lawn of the famous Hemmingway house in Key West.
Then, come along with us as we dive the Atlantic Reef, America's only living coral reef. This 150 mile system parallels the Keys four to five miles offshore from Biscayne Bay to the Marquesas.
We also take you to two of the Key West's popular wrecks;the Cayman Salvage Master and Joe's Tug. But before we dive we take you on a mystical tour of party town in Key West style where you will observe the landmark southernmost point in the continental United States.
Key West is the home to key lime pie, a naval base, exotic foliage and natural coconut trees, almost 30,000 year round residents and its free roaming chickens. We hope you enjoy Key West, Florida.

GRK-DVD-FIJI - As Fiji natives say, "Bula" or "Welcome" to Fiji! This country is truly one
GRK-DVD-FIJI - As Fiji natives say, "Bula" or "Welcome" to Fiji! This country is truly one of the most friendly countries on earth, considering in 1789 it was well known to a cautious Captain William Bligh and passing ships as the land of cannibals.
Fiji is made up of over 333 beautiful, exotic, tropical islands in the South Pacific. We will visit four different dive destinations, all off the main island of Viti Levu. We will dive the reefs off Wananavu where we will see vibrant, multicolored soft corals and over 1,200 species of fish.
We will visit a native Fijian village for a ceremonial dance and be served their native drink called "Kava." After a walk through the jungle and swim in a heart shaped pool and waterfall, it's on to tour the Nai'a, a Fiji live-aboard boat.

GRK-DVD-COS - On this Dive Travel adventure, we fly into the city of Liberia, in Costa Rica, and stay at the beautiful Ocotal Beach Resort, located on a high bluff overlooking a scenic bay on the Pacific Ocean coast.
We are here during "green season" - when the waters in the Pacific are tinted green. Visibility is about 30 feet, but what these waters lack in visibility, they make up for in an abundance of aquatic marine life. National Geographic calls Costa Rica "one of the most biologically intense places on earth."
We will encounter our first Whale shark;see a cloud of hundreds of Cow Nose Rays swim overhead, and countless schools of Pacific fish. We will dive some of the most popular locations Costa Rica has to offer, including the famous Bat Island, known for Bull sharks and Catalina, Buda, Palmares, Virador, Fatboy, Black rock, and Widow reefs. The high cliff shoreline and jagged rocks pointing up out of the ocean floor at various dive locations is breath taking and yet somewhat eerie.

GRK-DVD-BAY - Join us on this Dive Travel adventure series as we explore the western Caribbean Bay islands 40 miles off the northeast coast of Honduras. The three main inhabited islands include Roatan, Utila and Guanaja, all part of the second largest coral reef in the world and one of Honduras hottest attractions.
Beneath the clear turquoise waters is a trove of unbelievable riches: vibrant coral, massive sponges, multicolored fish and large pelagic species, like manta rays, sea turtles, and whale sharks.
Surrounded by translucent waters, painted in bold strokes of emerald greens and deep azure blue, these islands are a diver's paradise, while surrounded by jungle, luxurious foliage and exotic flowers.
Roatans history comes alive with tales of pirates. As many as 5,000 pirates and buccaneers used the islands as a base for attacking Spanish galleons laden with precious metals, woods and other new world bounty.

GR-DVD-15613 - A motorcycling paradise unlike anywhere esle on earth. Three Motorcycles, 30 days and 3,000 miles of exhilarating riding through raging rives, breathtaking fjords and expansive lava fields. Join us on this incredible journey across a lang forged by fire and honed by ice.
"Majestically the island rises above the waves to greet the traveler approaching from the sea, stirring his heart like some heroic strain of old, touched by eternity, laden with destiny."
We greeted Iceland with a picture perfect landing as our ship slipped into the narrow fjord, breaking its own reflection in the clear, deep blue waters. Adventure awaited us. New knobby tires transformed our motorcycles into dirt chewing, backcountry beasts. We were ready to explore this remote island perched atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Calm fjords and soothing hot pools define her enchanting beauty while steaming geysers and jagged mountains betray her seething core. Birds and whales were our companions, gravel and water our playground.

GA-DVD-SURY - For over 5000 years the beliefs and cultural traditions of the Syriacs have
GA-DVD-SURY - For over 5000 years the beliefs and cultural traditions of the Syriacs have continued to live on in their Holy Land, located in the Southeastern Anatolian region of Turkey. As one of the first people to accept Christianity, they played a prominent role in the promulgation of this world religion. The Syriac culture should be revered as a universal heritage that has enabled the language of Jesus Christ to survive to this day unfortunately, for many years this culture has been overlooked, and the circumstances which have forced their migration from their homeland in Mesopotamia are growing increasingly severe, causing a rapid diminishment of their presence in the region.
The Suryoyo Documentary tells the story of the Syriacs by showing the Saint Michael's Day celebrations of the remaining small Syriac community in the unparalled locations in Mardin from sunrise to sunset. With in the story of this one day, the beliefs, culture and history of the Syriacs;their artisanry in the areas of stone carving, silver working and cloth printing;and the story of one day in the lives of the last few remaining artisans of theses crafts was described segments from the lives and works of the 92 year old former weaver Ms. Merin, the 85 year old cloth printer Nasra Simeshindi one of the last generation silver workers mastercraftsman Gevriye and the last master stone carver Gebro Cevik seem to drift to us through the millenia.
