Help with go pro 3 underwater settings with red filter, Caribbean, 30-80 ft. Protune?

Here's the 1st movie I shoot/edited with my GPH3B.
No filter, no color correction, I only used my primary as a light source.

Very interesting video. I must admit I got a little freaked out watching when you had NO visibility!!!! I think I stick with high visibility! Impressive the calm control you have in those conditions...

Very cool, nice low light quality, vis certainly not the caribbean for sure, LOL! Not much marine life down there, good to see you guys follow all the safety measures. Only wreck diving I have done was in Papua New Guinea and the vis was amazing as you can imagine. Thanks for sharing your vid, enjoyed it and good job!

Agree,the vis was a little non existent for sure and all the scum floating around was interesting but cool!

Agreed this is not the best movie for Lebanon's tourism except for this wreck we have clear blue water and I'll put a nice 40m blue viz movie when I have something interesting.

Being safe is not an option, we didn't know what was inside so we expected the worse, if we haven't deployed a line it would have been impossible to find our way out.

As for the Gopro, yes I'm impressed with the low light performance, there is no graining at all even with the lowest light and viz.

Here is a "wreck" type dive with GoPro HD2, SRP camera ray, SRP Blurfix, URPro CY filter, 1080 30 fps med fov, Intova TovaTech 500L and Magicshne 1000L as pointer. One thing I noticed and plan to use in the future, is that reflected light, i.e. bounced off a wall or structure lights up the closed area well, maybe better than directly pointing at the sublect of interest. Avoids the hot spot. I'll be videoing this summer trying it out. However, I did buy some 120 degree lights.

IMHO, faster frame rates is like faster shutter speed and the image is crisper but may have less saturation. Even if in rendering, it is reduced to a lower fps, it will be less blurry.

This was shot with the hero 3 Black at 1080-60 fps (medium width) with a MAKO red filter. Depths for the head mounted camera vary from 0 to around 70 ft.

You can see that the red filter is not your friend on the surface. It can (and should) be removed at the surface, but with a head mount and snorkeling..that was not practical...

Beautifull shoot, did you hold your GP with you hand or did you fixe it somewhere?

All hand held, have a mount but haven't had a chance to use it yet, hopefully soon. Like to go back to Hawaii...parents live there so have a crash pad!
