It's been a years since I shot UW video with a GoPro. My last such setup was a GoPro 3 black with BackScatter macromate, SRP red filter and tray, macro diopter lens and video lights, and tons of accessories. I later switched to a compact camera based setup with housing (LX7 and Nauticam) which...

Wife and I each have Mares Mesh gear backpacks we use when we cruise. For the most part they work well when hauling around our gear but after a dive the weight of the wet gear is pretty heavy for anything but short walks, especially for the wife. This trip, we may be doing quite a bit of...

DW and I have an Eastern Caribbean cruise coming up in just under 2 weeks. There may be a possibility with the current storm activity flaring up in the Atlantic that our itinerary will get switched to the Western Caribbean. If that were to happen I could use a recommendation for a cruise...

We are less than 2 weeks out from our eastern Caribbean cruise. There is a possibility that we may get switched to the western Caribbean if a system behind Danny develops and stays the course. If this happens I could try to book with Aldora in Cozumel, Barefoot in Roatan and Deep Blue Divers...

I'll be trying out a Hero 4 Black in a couple months primarily for wet use during a trip. I'll be using it at 4K/30 with Protune enabled. I know from previous experience that sometimes certain SD cards can be finicky or out right useless when using the GoPro at full quality. This problem...

Wife and I have dove in Cozumel (Aldora) during a cruise stop a couple years ago. This time we are bringing the 3 kids which are really adults along on another cruise. Wife, myself and the oldest kid is certified but not the other 2. I'd like to arrange for all of use to do a dive together...

I was looking for answers in the Cruises section but not much goes on there. Wife and I will be on a cruise in September. The stops we are interested in diving are St. Thomas and Grand Turk. I'm looking for recommendations on good dive ops that would work well for cruisers. From what I've...

Wife and I will be on a 7 day Carnival cruise this Sept. with stops at Half Moon Cay, Bahamas, San Juan, PR, St. Thomas and Grand Turk. We are only interested in diving St. Thomas and Grand Turk. I'm looking for recommendations on good dive ops that would work well for cruisers. From what...

I purchased a pair of Penetrator 220 (Dorcy) torches with goodman handles ( Soft Low Rider Handle for Penetrator 180 / 220, Hog, Compact 800 Lumen or Mini Deep Star Light). While solidly constructed, I find them very uncomfortable. Any recommendations on a more comfortable glove that can be...

Getting a lot of use out of my macro lens lately. I compiled clips from my last few dives at the bridge including a couple of night dives into this video. Enjoy. http://youtu.be/TSZ2YsFXLiQ

With the Goliath grouper breeding season approaching, I'm looking forward to seeing some for the 1st time. My question is the best period to see them? I understand the breeding season lasts from August till October and I may not have a chance to do the dive till September. Also, were would be...

I have yet to dive Boynton Beach and the surrounding areas. I hear a lot that the shore diving there is excellent. Is there a particular area to shore dive? Other info like parking, shop for tank rentals, good time to hit the water, etc. would be helpful. Would diving from charter be a...

Had a nice dive this morning at the Blue Heron Bridge. This is my first attempt at macro with my camera. Hope you enjoy. http://youtu.be/K524pXu2Zis

Thought I'd share my dive at Molasses Reef in Key Largo last weekend. Even though the conditions up top were pretty crummy, down below it was quite alright. http://youtu.be/2G09MbdPuhY

Had a few nice dives at Molasses last weekend. Surprisingly, I saw more fish here than I did in my previous dives at other Caribbean locals. http://youtu.be/2G09MbdPuhY

Did our first Spiegel Grove dive over the weekend. Very impressive ship. Was also the first use of my LX7 setup. Still trying to get the WB right. The colors were way off. Did what I could in post to improve them. Now if I could only keep the camera still. http://youtu.be/DxSB4tjJtMQ

Well the wife and I had our first privilege of diving the USS Spiegel Grove. The conditions uw were far better than up top. A very cool dive. We used Rainbow Reef and they were great. We will be going back again. This was the first time I used my new camera. Had issues with WB so colors are...

Someone just pointed out this article to me. Some entertainment for the SB masses. Occurred about a week ago off Melbourne, FL. Great white shark kept at bay with speargun - GrindTV.com http://youtu.be/RJilFvxMQE0

I'm looking for a replacement for GoPro Studio for quickly trimming out sections of video clips and saving them separately while still preserving as much of the quality and characteristics of the original as possible for final editing in Sony Vegas Pro. I don't want to alter the original files...

SRP has helped develop a new mounting system for the GoPro that might prove useful in many ways including for DIY. Lots of mounting points, looks like a good way of having a pole mounted GoPro attached with lights. http://youtu.be/XPwunOzcAgw
