A trip to Barkley Sound at the Rendezvous Dive Lodge.
I miss the ability to go up close with the Gopro, if any one hears about a macro lens, please post it.

very good clarity considering that is a gopro
Are those the smoothest divers and fish or the footage has been slowed down maybe 0.75x speed in some sections? The bubbles seem to move really slow too and the surface part seems unnaturally slow
The macro topic has been discussed here
To date there are no lenses to allow short focus, probably the main limitation of the GoPro

I love the footage...swimming Nudibranchs are one of my favorite.

Can you tell me about your light set-up? It has really brought out the colours and the clarity of the footage.

I did slow the end surface footage and the last wall scene, otherwise it's the original speed. Hard to hold steady in waves at the surface!
Lights are 2 cheap chinese LED dive lights, they claim 900 lumens. I'm happy so far, had them over a year. I also use a magenta filter I made from an old aquatica housing.

Great outcome bravo!
The colours are great the filter works well inyhe wide angle and those lights might be cheap but do a good job
