I was solo diving and trying out the new SJCam SJ4000 action camera that is a $99.95 alternative to a GoPro by shooting skill videos underwater similar to what I have done with GoPro in the past to compare cameras.
I'm filming selfie videos by resting the camera on a training platform in 27 feet of water. The camera is attached to a 3 lb. lead weight (lightest weight handy) with a surfboard mount fastened by cable ties.
During a valve drill, I experience a real right post failure (leaking DIN O-ring) that I fixed myself even though the failure was behind my head. I decided to create a YouTube clip since I managed to capture it on video to show that a backmount diver can resolve fixable failures behind one's head.
The video may be viewed here: [video=youtube;GhZdrLnZlzg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhZdrLnZlzg[/video]
Since I'm far away from the camera and the leak is small it is best to watch the video in HD and full screen.
