Ok plannin a dive trip and want an underwater cam. Prog going with the hero 3 go pro
first iv had one before here is the story with why im unsure if i want to go with the go pro or how to set it up
in march 2012 we was in florida went down to key largo to dive the speigal grove. On the way i bought a go pro with a head mount strap. We got to the wreck in like 6-8 feet waves. It was my first boat dive with my new bp/w also. I had three shore dives on it though and six hours pool time checking everything for this dive.
I was the first in the water ripping currents waves and i started up the line to the bouy. My go pro repeatedly keep pulling on my mask flooding it. Dealing with that i got smashed with a wave the rope caught my reg pulling it out second time dumbing water down my lungs. So water in my lungs mask issues i headed for the boat. Three more times i got water in my lungs and 20 min into fighting it i could hardly breath and started passing out. So the dm pulled me to the ladder. She saved my life and said even with water in my lungs blacking out i never freaked out. She thought i was out cause i was not thrashing or screaming. It took a month for me to step near the ocean.
The mask issue with the camera caused the start of it all. So i dont want to repeat this again.
What is the best way to mount a go pro for diving. I thought on my bc or a wrist mount.
Oddly after it happen i was glad i the go pro was on. It caught every second of it. Showed me pushed down 10 feet deep by the waves huffing and pushing water out of my lungs. It was freaky watching my self basically slowly beginning to drown but better i watchin it then a coroner
