I've just upgraded my gopro hero 4 black to the gopro hero 6 black. Has anyone any tips or recommendations on the settings I should use for diving? I used 1080p with 60 or 30 fps depending on light with my hero 4. Is it worth upping my resolution with the hero 6 and changing frame rates? The...

Hello all! I'm an experienced diver who is just joining the Scubaboard. I'm heading to Hawaii next week and wondering what dive shops are currently recommended on Maui and Hawaii. In the past I've gone diving with Ed Robinsons on Maui, and Jacks Diving Locker on the Big Island. I'm diving...
