Goliath Groupers Sept 15 - Jupiter, Fl

[crazyqban67]

Here is a quick video I made with a new Gopro 6 using Bacscatter Filters and SeaLife Sea Dragon 2000 lights. Filmed on Sept 15 while on a dive in Jupiter, Fl with Scuba Works. While using the lights I didn't use the filters. Also, when I tried to use the deep filter the images were really dark and soft so I was not able to use them. Not good since I had some really good shots of lemon sharks and goliaths. Oh well, next time. Enjoy.

I believe that is a Scorpion Fish. They tend to camoflauge themselves very well with the environment around them so their appearance varies by location.

Who is smashing into the coral at about 1:04?

Smash: to break to pieces with violence and often with a crashing sound, as by striking, letting fall, or dashing against something; shatter.

This doesn't seem to be whats going on here. Camera was set on a ledge of the wreck and I swam to the front of it. No corals were harmed my friend.

Would you answer some questions on your rig and editing? (I'm thinking I need to make some UW videos for work, and looking for any tips I can get....)

1. Did you have a single Sea Dragon 2000 or a pair? (More?) Full power?
2. What are you using to edit the video?
3. Care to speculate on whether the filters would matter with the GoPro 7?

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
