It's worth remembering that the Great Barrier Reef stretches for 2,300 km, and your video covers a couple of hundred meters of that off one touristy island (Fitzroy) near the busiest town for GBR tourism (Cairns). If we're trading anecdotes, that looks better than my own visit also off Cairns about 20 years ago.
I'm not saying that coral bleaching etc isn't a problem, in fact I don't see how we can avoid massive coral die-off if global warming continues, but we should also avoid generalizing "the reef is dying!" or "the reef is recovering!" based on samples of a single point.
