  • Releasing quality content like this without asking for anything in return shows a lot about your character mate. Thank you. My sons love your content and will be falling asleep to this for years to come.
  • @havirojer9799
    As a fellow undergraduate studying the natural world and its organisms, I have the utmost respect and admiration for you for making such high quality, enjoyable, and scientifically engaging films- and for free! I've always loved Attenborough and have been searching for other documentarians who meet his quality of nature films. You absolutely fit that bill, and I'm excited to see what you create in the future! :)
  • @MarioVAmaya
    My son, about to reach his 5th birthday, had developed an intense passion for all things oceanic, marine animals and more particularly abyssal fish. I found this channel by chance and now he's hooked and I'm very happy and grateful that independent science documentary films have reached such high informative and aesthetic standards. Who knows if my kid goes on to become a marine biologist. In this challenged planet it would be a blessing.
  • @deusexaethera
    My seasonal depression is acting up, and all I want to do is lay down and listen to this guy tell me about deep sea life for the next 2 months.
  • @keyaunna.
    i am so ECSTATIC that you made this a full movie and you’re just lending it to your viewers for free. i find that to be absolutely incredible. thank you for everything that you do.
  • @Ghaz002
    This is one of the best nature documentaries I’ve seen in years
  • @tea120
    I'm poor but I seriously appreciate your videos. I'm fascinated by the ocean and you have some of the best high quality and FREE documentaries I've seen. Thank you again, I can't wait to see what you do next ❤️
  • @huntert7650
    I have so much admiration for you. Not only did you make this incredible passion project, but you also released it entirely free with no midrolls. If anyone on YouTube deserves a Nebula partnership, it's you! You do such an incredible job. Great work, wonderful video. A fascinating subject rarely discussed or even known about by the general public, and extremely soothing to boot.
  • @gradient816
    Hello again NWF! Once again I find myself astounded by the level of quality found within every moment of your videos. The clean editing, the calming narration, the music! It all comes together to create an educational and wonderful experience that I"m shocked is on Youtube for free. It's beautiful how life can flourish in an environment so hostile and extreme. All I can say is that I love your work immensley and can't wait to see what you make next!
  • @Akatsuki69387
    Although I can't give much I can't just let this incredible content go unsupported. Your voice is soothing and your topics informative. It's a rare combination and one I'm happy to support.
  • You're videos are beautifully crafted and always spark that joy of learning in me. Please know that you are appreciated ❤️
  • Hi all, there are no mid-roll ads on this video. I wanted to keep it immersive for those of you who might use it for relaxation or find the ads intrusive. That said, if any of you would like to help support me so I can continue to improve my content and rely less on ads, I've just set up a Patreon. Absolutely anything you can contribute would mean the world, but even just watching and commenting helps out immensely!! Thank you so so much. www.patreon.com/naturalworldfacts
  • I rarely reward such phenomenal content. But you truly deserve it
  • This is incredibly interesting and the quality of the footage and craftsmanship of your work is astounding. You’re doing an excellent job.
  • @khemmy9190
    Thanks for your time and effort on this masterpiece. Such a great video and the narration is soothing.
  • @lfrey2001
    This is worth showing in any college Marine science classroom. Expertly written, beautifully narrated and captivating from start to finish. Having 2 years of marine biology undergraduate experience, I am almost shocked to see a documentary that does not dumb-down or dilute interesting facts. This is a milestone piece. I think the world is ready for shows to get smart again. Don't you agree?
