Hi everyone,
I am going to the Maldives at the start of December for 1 week. I am going to get in 5 dives at least and I am taking my Hero3 Black of course. I have only recently become aware of maybe needing a red filter. I have looked at a few and asked about them at the Dive 2013 show on Saturday but I wanted to ask people on here who have actually used them.
I am only open water qualified so will be going no deeper than 18 meters. Will be diving with Rasdoo Divers. Can anybody please tell me the best filter to go for please. I wanted one which would maybe flip up and down as needed but they all seem to be fixed. Will I really need one at all ... ??? Also will there be any red tinting on the final video ... ??? This is a once in a lifetime trip for me and I don't want to get anything wrong with the videoing. I assume it is beneficial as soon as you enter the water so I guess it is left on all the time. Bit confused about all this. Any pointers greatly received. If needed I do want to buy the one which is considered the best.
Thanx for reading this.
Regards, Gavin.
