Like most of us here, your daily screen time is probably much higher than usual right now. Now is the time to binge, right? You would almost say that Netflix must be running out of shows to watch soon, but there is hope!
So instead of getting bored and scrolling endlessly through your social media (again) let us help you quench your dose of ocean thirst! With such a huge amount of shows at your fingertips itβs easy to get lost in deciding which one is going to be good! Weβve therefore handpicked the finest Ocean Themed documentaries and movies on Netflix for you.
Chasing Coral (2017)
Chasing Coral offers a breathtakingly beautiful look at some of the Earth's most incredible natural wonders while delivering a sobering warning about their uncertain future. Highly recommend for any diver or diver to be!
mission blue (2014)
In this one we follow world renowned oceanographer Sylvia Earle on her personal mission to save the ocean. Sylvia Earle - scientist, explorer, visionary - has spent over 6 decades exploring the ocean and the creatures who live there. A personal mission to reverse the destructive course our species is on before it's too late. If you donβt know Sylvia Earle yet, please do yourself a favour!
blue planet II (2017 -2018)
Blue Planet II will reveal the astonishing characters, otherworldly places and extraordinary new animal behaviours. Warm and compelling stories about marine habitats and their characterful inhabitants will build people's emotional relationship with our oceans and bring a new perspective to this little-known world. And I mean, can you really go wrong with Sir David Attenborough?
a plastic ocean (2017)
The four-year journey of two explorers showcases 20 spots around the globe, including the five major ocean gyres. Their aim is to learn about how plastic pollution is killing our oceans and creating shockwaves that go far beyond where the sea meets the shore. A documentary that is sometimes disturbing to watch but therefore a Must Watch for any ocean lover like you!
47 meters down (2017)
Hey, you made it this far! Please promise us you watch the abovementioned suggestions before you give this one a go. Consider this movie as your last option, unless youβre ready for some laughs! For us divers this βbeautyβ of a movie is more a comedy instead of a believable chain of events. So, grab your popcorn and be entertained by the inaccuracy displayed.
We are sure these suggestions will help you appreciate the wonders of the seas and spark your desire to get back to Gili Trawangan and dive with us as soon as the world opens up again. We hope it inspires you to take action and protect the ocean for generations to come.
Are you an ocean-addict just like us and have watched all of these ones already? Feel free to inspire us with your own favourites and weβll add them to our list (if Roos can manage to stay awake throughout βem)
