I was up on Green Bridge last Monday. Conditions were pretty good, visibility was ranged from good to fair, I hit the tide right about the change. I made a video dive log of it.

I added music to make afterdark happy.

Rich,

Thanks for posting your video. It was great!

I used to dive Green Bridge regularly. I’ve not been there in years. After seeing your video this will change.
Can't wait to return.

Nice post and video. Vis looked pretty good. Where is green bridge and what are the logistics of diving it?

the Logistics are pretty easy. you can park on the edge of the road and easy access to the water. The only real tough part is you need to do a 250 to 300 yard surface swim to get out to and back beyond the eel grass. You can see from the picture it is a pretty protected cove, once you get out beyond, the swell can toss you around pretty good. Definitely a bring your snorkel dive.

Video looks nice - MUCH better vis than we had at Wetherill yesterday. My wife and I should have gone there instead. What was the water temp? thanks

Did you use a filter on your gopro?

 

[CT-Rich]

I used a red filter for 10 to 75 feet from Polar Pro . I was also using a preset of color corrections called "Protune" that sharpened the color and improved the contrast. The water temp was in the low 60s, maybe a degree or two lower than Wetherill.

Thanks for sharing. I just got a GoPro Silver and will christen it in Cayman Brac in a couple of weeks. What, if any, additional light did you use? Thanks again.
