all those who record with hydrophones; are interested in new underwater rec=
ording techniques; and the ocean lovers among us.

P.
Is the underwater world a silent world?
No, the depths of the sea are as full of exciting sounds and voices as any =
other habitat rich with species. However, humans can't perceive these sound=
s under normal circumstances, and so this world has been hidden from us so =
far.
During the twelve days of filming around the Caribbean island of Bonaire fo=
r the documentary "The cannon crackers of the pistol shrimp", for the first=
time a microphone technology was used, that was previously only available =
to researchers and allows the recording of sounds of the underwater world n=
ot only true-to-life, but also in surround quality. This documentary is a t=
easer for a documentary series "Sound of the oceans" production is starting=
this year!
