Hero 3 Cavern Dive

[thorschosen]

Here's a video from a cavern dive I did this past week near Cancun. I just got the Hero 3 so it was kind of a test to see how it would do in lower light. I shot in 1080p at 30fps with protune off. I was pretty happy with the results. The company I went with only provided very weak spotlights for the parts of the cavern that were completely dark and those didn't show up well. I'm sure if I had better lighting those parts would have looked cool. I didn't use much of that footage because it was so poor.

cool site. Yes you need flood lights in dark conditions.

Nice. Beautiful dive site. I like your shot choices and editing.

Those conditions were ideal compared to my latest cave dive:

Haha, I see what you mean 3D Diver On my dive there were also people complaining about the water being cold (it was about 75 degrees). I was warm enough in a shorty but I would say the water was probably a lot colder on your dive as well

I bought the thickest drysuit undies I could afford, so know nothing of water temperature. (though my log book says it was ~52F that day)
