Recent Snorkeling Outing: Palm Beach

It's been a while since the weather has been decent and even longer since we have had a chance to go snorkeling.

The four of us landed a good mix of fish including an AJ, 3 different types of snappers, Porgie, some Rainbow Runners and a few hogfish.

I think the theme of this video might be.. "if you're not a good freediver - then you better be a good shot".

Also, I about choked on the second kill shot on the jack, waited way too long and then made a shot that was way high - initially I thought I had missed the fish entirely. Sometimes it is harder to shoot a fish when it is too close.

You gotta watch cussing at fish on breath holds. Can't afford to lose air.

Have you thought about adding a filter to your GoPro? The deep red filter may not be great for free diving, but <50 ft. the orange shallow filter might work well to bring some color back into your videos.

I have the Backscatter flip 3.1 filter and I just need to get in the habit of keeping it flipped open when on the surface or shallow water but you can also add the blue back in to those parts of the video in the GoPro app. I usually have to adjust the exposure and contrast too, not perfect but it definitely improves the video.

I have a red filter and use it sometimes; it reduces light to some degree. I have been using the Go Pro software lately and don't mess with color etc.
