Hey all,

Had some more fun editing some video of Craig's dive out of Half Moon Bay with Akumal Dive Adventures. Threw this together this afternoon! Enjoy

LOVED it! Great music choice. Loved the credits too! LOL

Great video; especially enjoyed your timing of the lyrics "...into the sun" with the shot of air bubbles rising toward the sun.

Great pictures. I will be returning in February and staying for 10 days. Did you use a underwater case for the Go Pro.

Thanks,
bob...

Hey Blues....Craig used the Dive case...I'll get more info on it for ya...something about a round vs. flat lense that clears up blurriness....I can't remember which one, so I'll have to ask tonight! Thanks!

Sorry if I haven't been posting that much...we have been having trouble with our internet connection at home being extremely spotty and it's frutstrating! LOL!

From about the 0:16 - 0:20 second mark there's a tortuga with a couple of remoras in the bottom left-hand corner playing possum. Do tortugas normally do that?

We plan on buying a GoPro 2 before our trip in December. All of them come with waterproof case and some standard accessories. From what I can see there are three options, Surfer, Motorcross & Outdoor. With each you receive other accessories. I was looking at the Outdoor because it seem the most middle of the road. Does anybody have insight or advice? We are both scuba divers and ride motorcycles.

I am looking at the Go Pro outdoor also, last time in Akumal I used my Cannon D10 on my Dive trips. I had it down 70 feet without a case and the pictures were awesome, I am considering upgrading to the new D20 now. I am looking for a Video camera now and looked at the Sea Life camera system but the Go Pro will probably meet my needs as I think I will be using it more... I hate buying a expensive camera and it sits in a case untill a dive trip!.

Akumal In Feb for 9 days can’t wait.

We did the adventure backback and found extras on Amazon...the pole - great for everything...it extends out 3.5 feet! Also got the display that attaches on the back and more straps...etc. Fee free to PM me with any questions. Craig has done tons of research and I'll make sure he logs on and answers...

There are a couple underwater lenses...he got both and uses one specifically so things aren't blurry....otherwise it looks like there is vaseline all over the lense...lol!

Get extra memory cards and batteries what ever you do!
