A diver in Hawaii left his GoPro underwater to record the sunrise, but she filmed a lot more than that. The incredible images that he managed to capture are now amazing by users on the Internet.

Distributed on TikTok in June by Brittany Ziegler, 34, of Maui, under the username @dividivelive, the video it features not only the beauty of the sunrise seen underwater, but also a lot of marine life swimming smoothly. Initially, only a few curious visitors came close to the camera, but as the sun began to rise, all kinds of creatures began to appear, including sharks, turtles and fish of all sizes and colors.

“This is the part of the reef that we don’t see in our underwater live streams. The peace of dozens of species coexisting beautifully. The true magic of the underwater world,” reads the break text in the clip.

Ziegler, who along with her team is known for being one of the few live broadcasts divers of the worldhe said Newsweek that this particular clip is part of a “behind the scenes” series they’re currently running.

“We live stream the underwater world to share its beauty and promote the love and passion of the ocean. Most of our following comes from an audience that dives in with us in real time. The Unsupervised GoPro Series is a new thing we started. to capture all those moments we don’t see in the live stream with human interaction.

“We put a GoPro on the bottom of the ocean and let it record, by itself. The camera records the entire dive while we’re away at another location on the site. Each video lasts 30-70 minutes,” she said.

In this particular clip, the camera was placed right next to an artificial reef, 26 feet underwater. Man-made reefs are becoming more common as scientists try to tackle the loss of coral worldwide, which is largely due to climate change.

National Geographic says the oceans absorb more than 90 percent of the planet’s heat, which in recent years has caused the waters to become warmer, endangering reefs and marine life around the world, especially in equatorial areas.

When El Niño developed in 2016, warming the Pacific Ocean, it destroyed a third of the Great Barrier Reef’s coral. It is estimated that more than half of the corals on the coast of Australia have bleached and then died.

In the Hawaiian Islands, coral reef degradation increases the exposure of coastal communities to storms, increasing the risk of flooding.

Artificial reefs, which are used to mitigate environmental damage and habitat loss, are typically built on sunken shipwrecks, oil and gas platforms, bridges and lighthouses, according to the National Ocean Service website.

The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 475,000 views and 68,000 likes on the platform.

One user, Lucy, commented: “The turtle silhouettes are just magical.”

Sleepy_Niffler said: “I wish there was a 24 hour live stream that I could watch for hours.”

Love_cats added: “I counted 3 sharks, 5 turtles and what is that long fish at the end of the video.”
