Calm and quiet on top and underneath it's like a thousand tiny bullets hitting the surface.

[u/Deus-mal → u/ilygirlie]

That water needs some democracy

[u/Lolkimbo → u/Deus-mal]

Super earth. Our home.

[u/HavoKTheory → u/Lolkimbo]

Prosperity. Liberty.

[u/yourallygod → u/Lolkimbo]

We can't swim :(

Every time someone brings up Matt Damon in conversation around me, I instinctively yell “MATT DAMON” like from the movie 😂

[u/un1ptf → u/ilygirlie]

It seemed to me to be much less violent and tumultuous than "a thousand tiny bullets hitting the surface.", and quite calm and peaceful. The drops hardly seemed to disrupt the surface very much at all.

[u/swarajshimmar → u/un1ptf]

Next we need to see the night sky from there

[u/TiltedSkipper → u/ilygirlie]

Used to dive/snorkel in the rain, always felt the opposite to me. Rain and chaos above, peace and quite below.

[u/leventp]

Why is that video vertical? 🥴

[u/kenerling → u/leventp]

Cellphone mentality.

[u/TheRussness → u/kenerling]

Well reddit users are 78% mobile and 22% desktop

So yeah. Cater to the larger audience.

[u/logicdsign → u/TheRussness]

Phones can be turned sideways. They even have accelerometers in them for that purpose.

[u/GregTheMad → u/logicdsign]

Yeah, but this video only works if you start it in portrait, then switch to landscape, and only if you have said accelerometers ignored (auto-rot turned off).

[u/cosmolitano → u/leventp]

vertical video syndrome

[u/vajayjaysniffer → u/cosmolitano]

We spent years bullying people to film landscape just for tiktok to reverse our work

[u/CyanSlinky → u/cosmolitano]

[u/Past_Paint_225 → u/cosmolitano]

I'm not turning my phone, this to me is how the video creator wanted me to watch their video and it's crap this way

[u/KEPD-350 → u/leventp]

Filmed by a moron for morons.

[u/CartsOfDarkness → u/KEPD-350]

Genuinely curious if in all my years on reddit I've ever been in a single comment section where "everybody else is way dumber than I am" wasn't a top comment🤔

[u/c3p-bro → u/CartsOfDarkness]

But..this is dumb?

[u/HEX_BootyBootyBooty → u/c3p-bro]

The video changes orientation. Above water is normal, when mc goes below, it's widescreen and you have to turn your phone (and turn off auto-orientation) to view proper.

[u/Same_Square2555 → u/c3p-bro]

how is making vertical videos dumb bro😭

[u/SirSitsOnAss → u/Same_Square2555]

No video could have been improved by being filmed vertically.

Every video filmed vertically could have been improved filming horizontally instead.

How are vertical videos not dumb?

[u/ipokesnails → u/Same_Square2555]

In many cases filming vertically necessitates constant, rapid horizontal camera panning because it's not practical to capture the scene properly while filming in portrait.

[u/tekko001 → u/KEPD-350]

With morons commenting?

[u/Wise-Dust3700 → u/tekko001]

The complete cycle!

[u/trixter21992251 → u/tekko001]

i figured the best move would be not to comment

but then nobody would know I was here. If I didn't comment, was I really here? It's a fallen tree in the woods kinda situation.

[u/Megavore97 → u/KEPD-350]

Takes one to know one

[u/trixie_one → u/leventp]

Thank fuck for the rotate video button on here.

[u/UrsaMajor7th]

Looks like two different locations were edited together.

[u/juggilinjnuggala → u/UrsaMajor7th]

Why is no one else noticing this

[u/throwawayadvice102 → u/UrsaMajor7th]

Actually, it is Wakulla Springs in Wakulla County Florida.

edit: it does in fact look that way under water

[u/HikerStout → u/throwawayadvice102]

The swimmable area of Wakulla Springs isn't rocky like that. It's sand and a whole ton of grasses. I've been swimming in that area for 30+ years.

If you pause right before they go under water, that's also not remotely what the beach area looks like at the park.

[u/matthewkr89 → u/throwawayadvice102]

I thought it looked like Wakulla Springs

[u/ConfusedByPans → u/UrsaMajor7th]

The above water shot is definitely from Wakulla Springs, FL. The water is incredibly clear and blue on a sunny day, and if you look just behind him before he films underwater, you can see a flash of blue-green below the surface. I used to live down the road and swam there many times, I can believe the underwater shot is the same place.

[u/UrsaMajor7th → u/ConfusedByPans]

Two different days then. I find the tone shift between them incongruous.

[u/OskuSnen]

I was once scuba diving in Thailand in heavy rain, it's quite a wonderful sight when looking up, and the contrast between the surface and down below is somerhing else.

[u/BongofromPatreon]

Sometimes I think the worst thing about the younger generations is that they see everything in portrait rather than landscape.

It's just a patently stupid aspect ratio.

[u/ThunderShott → u/BongofromPatreon]

Its not like we have a choice because a lot of companies only allow portrait videos and everyone annoyingly records that way.

[u/little_turd1234 → u/BongofromPatreon]

To be fair there are plenty of types of content where a portrait aspect ratio is fine or even better. If the video is just someone talking to the camera chances are it’ll frame up a lot better in a portrait orientation unless they are being very expressive with their hands and you need the extra width.

I agree it gets over used but just wholesale writing off the entire aspect ratio is a little silly

[u/username_elephant → u/BongofromPatreon]

Yeah. Like all those old portraits should just be fucking burned in a pyre because the painters were too stupid to paint them in landscape.

[u/DragonStangFlyer122]

Honest question, do fish care at all if it's raining? Does rain affect their behavior in any way?

[u/CosmonautMott → u/DragonStangFlyer122]

Do you start destroying your livingroom when it hits the roof of your home? Jokes aside, no its like a normal thing for them. Some are more active.

[u/Responsible-Arm-4993]

so heaven is on earth but it’s underwater , got it

[u/anondydimous]

That's beautiful, it's like stars

[u/ermaecrhaelld → u/anondydimous]

The world is so beautiful and it’s quiet moments like these that make me so sad to know we are making it less beautiful every day.

[u/codephotog]

The music kills it. Just let us hear the rain hitting the surface.

[u/Jadema80 → u/codephotog]

I think it adds to the charm of the video. It's not overpowering, it sounds nice and the rain can still be heard.

[u/Not-a-Bot_1968]

fuck this video format

[u/justtobeherenotsure]

The video should just have gotten the real sound of the underwater footage. I'm not amazed, unpopular opinion apparently!

[u/No_Boysenberry_7411]

This is why I pay my internet bills!

[u/NRMusicProject]

Above water is portrait, under water is landscape. Got it.

[u/JustinSanders95 → u/NRMusicProject]

I’m pretty sure the landscape is usually above the water :p

[u/Arkayb33 → u/NRMusicProject]

Really #blessed to be watching this on my phone instead of my computer. 

[u/iMissTheOldInternet → u/NRMusicProject]

Underwater it’s called an aquascape

[u/StevieMJH]

Know what that almost looks like?

Rain above water.

[u/Xendarq]

Now get the lightning strike

[u/RedSecOps]

[u/chabrown86]

What’s the name of the background music ?

[u/Fit_Giraffe_748]

VS what? we'll never know

[u/ErionAireTam → u/Fit_Giraffe_748]

Vs on the left of water.

[u/CalifOdysseus]

My first time ever seeing this! Is this your original content? If so, thanks
And if not, thanks

[u/UnderratedAMIT → u/CalifOdysseus]

It's not I have mentioned the original creator ig handle

[u/Abal125]

Nature is beautiful 🥰

[u/BlahblahblahLG]

idk why, but I wasn’t expecting it to be so deep that close to the dock.

[u/eulersidentification]

Swimming in rain is fantastic. I remember being in an outdoor heated pool during a snowstorm at a local gym. At night too.

[u/HardSong]

Any1 Know the music?

[u/haric0 → u/HardSong]

My dark fantasy dream (slowed + reverb) - rexlity

[u/wonkey_monkey]

Wow, underwater is sideways, who knew

[u/acityonthemoon]

Why the vertical video?

[u/mmatessa]

Filming vertical vs Filming horizontal

[u/WasabiProper7234]

Like a starry night for the fishees:)

[u/bboynearzam]

Looks the same on top

[u/Independent_Cap_9775]

I felt my ear fill with water watching that

[u/MadCaucasian → u/Independent_Cap_9775]

This guy swims

[u/KoraBirn]

Is it just me or is it just raining from the other side and it's wetter?

[u/DoodleDoo1989]

There are the things you know, the things that you know that you don't know and the things that you don't know that you don't know. I didn't know that I didn't know this, very cool and beautiful.

[u/Round-Breath6630]

The first place in the video is wakulla springs in Florida! It’s a beautiful place to swim and it’s a state park.

[u/NarniaBiRTH]

first time my thalassophobia didn't kick in

[u/ShiibbyyDota]

Stunning view

[u/Heazen]

I've been seeing quite a few videos on Reddit recently with that underwater camera. Is it a stealth marketing op?

[u/UnderratedAMIT → u/Heazen]

Nah I just love sharing these beautiful and amazing videos of nature
I don't have any proper idea about underwater cameras and all xd

[u/Junin-Toiro → u/Heazen]

Might be, but underwater camera housing are super niche and expensive, and not the easiest to use, plus you already need a few thousands of camera and lens to put inside, so advertising it to the masses is not the best strategy.

It might be a marketing operation from the ones doing the filming.

[u/Anxious-Signature346]

Shame the shitty music drowns out the sound.

[u/snmgl]

I can see why people get addicted to diving. Like being in a different world.

[u/BothGraph641684]

It's beautiful

[u/vertical19991]

In the end it really is just a mirror to another world

[u/tommlasio]

It's so relaxing

[u/DudeByTheTree]

Interesting that the image looking up to the surface from underneath is so crystal clear, given the depth and the quality of the water.

[u/AdLess1413]

I always love when scuba diving seeing the rain hitting the surface. The downside is it’s cloudy out so the lack of sunlight really cuts down underwater visibility, especially after ~30ft

[u/saljskanetilldanmark]

Why fishing is said to be easier on a rainy day.

[u/EggConfident4387]

I can understand why the fish thinks it’s grub time. Looks like a lot of insects landing

[u/onederful]

Dreamworks/Pixar are losing out on an opportunity to represent this as an underwater “night sky” scene for sea creatures. 🌌

[u/unbanned_lol]

portrait ruined this

One of my favourite memories was scuba diving in Thailand when there was heavy rain, was incredible seeing all the raindrops from below the surface

[u/lalo-lalito]

Gracias por mostrar algo que no tengo pa oportunidad de ver

[u/Rawing7]

So marine animals basically get to experience a weather phenomenon that makes the sky ripple? That's sick, wish we had that

[u/Faerie-Owl-1955]

I’ve never gotten to see this perspective of rain under water. I don’t get to swim much. And probably never will. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

[u/Slydoggen]

That’s not the same place even

[u/Hallisober]

One of my life goals is to go swimming while its raining

[u/NormalMammoth4099]

Thank you!

[u/Superb1819]

When I was a kid, I always loved diving into the pool on rainy days, sinking to the bottom, and looking up for as long as I could. This video brought that feeling back to me - it’s probably a little colored by nostalgia, but it’s still a wonderful feeling

[u/Maroof_Rahil]

Underwater one 💕

[u/Few_Inside6460]

Does this count as water getting wet lmfao

[u/Significant-Gap-1033]

Watch it in horizontal then 180 degree it is satisfying

Oh…am I…..I guess I’m supposed to turn my phone now?

[u/AS_as-Master]

Is water wet when water falls on water?

[u/granolaraisin]

What is that? A quarry? Or is it a natural lake? It’s gorgeous.

[u/MyraBannerTatlock]

[u/ImpossibleBicycle890]

Pretty cool

[u/Rudy_Nowhere]

I love swimming in a small lake while it's raining like this or even a bit more heavily.

First, it's so quiet and no one else is on the lake. Second, if you dip down so just your eyes and nose are on the water, it begins to look like the raindrops bouncing off the water are rain drops being pulled up and out of the water toward the sky.

[u/Simpwie]

I felt euphoric
