Snorkeling at Palolo Deep Marine Reserve in Upolu, Samoa | Journey to the Island - Episode 1
Oh Samoa, beautiful Samoa! I snorkeled from the shore at Palolo Deep Marine Reserve to a tiny little wee island made of dead coral. Along the way I saw many varieties of fish, and went through water so deep and dark I couldn't see the bottom and water so shallow that I was gliding dangerously close to razor sharp coral. There were moments when I thought that I may get stuck on the coral. Tip for next time - go at high tide!
Palolo Deep Marine Reserve is on the outskirts of Apia town on the main island of Samoa - Upolu. Interestingly, Palolo Deep Marine Reserve shares the same name as the Samoan Palolo worm, which appears during the months of October and November, and is a popular delicacy amongst the locals.
Filmed in June 2018 in Upolu, Western Samoa while travelling through Samoa.
All shot on (including drone and underwater shots):
* DJI Phantom 4
* GoPro Hero 4 Black

Palolo Deep Marine Reserve, Upolu Samoa
Upolu is the smaller of the two islands that are the independent country of Samoa, located in the South Pacific. It is the most populated island of the two with 135,000 people. Savai’i is the larger of the two islands located to the west of Upolu. Tutuila Island better known to the U.S.A. as American Samoa, Is located to the east of Upolu
Uplolu is a beautiful island full of the friendliest and most welcoming people I have ever met. I look forward to returning someday to explore more of the island and experience more of the culture.
Upolu, Samoa is surrounded by coral, it covers almost the entire coast line of the island. This video is of the reef that surrounds the Palolo Deep Marine Reserve located in the capital city of Apia. I really wanted to capture the breakers that were about a half mile off shore during low tide for days. These shots were taken on the first day that the wind would allow me to fly the drone that far out. It was an overcast day and I used a CPL Polarized Filter.
Below I have listed links to the Palolo Deep Marine Reserve and the capital city of Apia. I hope this video inspires you to learn more about Samoa.

Snorkeling @ Palolo Deep (Samoa).
This was taken during Sunday snorkeling at Palolo Deep (Matautu Village) which is only a short stroll from Apia. Coral is starting to regenerate and the many different species of fish make it a worthy dive.
