I guess it is that time for shameless self promotion. Me and my dive club had an incredible week of diving in Roatan, Honduras in mid August. I have had some time to edit 387 gigabytes of scuba related footage and 37 gigabytes of other stuff that happened during the trip. All in all we had 17 dives including 1 night dive and 1 wreck dive. Most other dives were walls and or semi-walls ranging from 15ft -90ft. Deepest I got was 106 which was my deepest dive yet. I am not a big fan of deep diving so this was deliberate to ease myself into pushing boundaries of personal comfort levels. I am also not a big fan of night dives and in retrospect I would rather have dove 4 day dives that day. Visibility was variable. 100-200ft but clarity was 25-100ft with most of it around mid 30's. I have not looked at my dive computer since but I was the only person to dive with a wet suit in my group until folks started coming back complaining about thermoclines.
Place: Turqoise Bay Resort Inn. 3 dives per day on boat called Kassandra with captain JT and dive master Nelson. Company that did the scuba trips was called Subway Watersports.
Daily treck consisted of having to climb to room #17 about 25 vertical meters up gorgeously landscaped stairs surrounded by sights and sounds that will not be soon forgotten. I give this trip a 9.5/10. Only complaint was that someone kept taking down the hammocks grrr.
My goal with videography was to use both of my GoPro Hero3 Black edition cameras with PolarPro filters. Unfortunately (for them) folks traveling in my group purchased gopros at the airport and there were no filters available. After some persuasion I sold one of my filters and they traded it between them during the week. Essentially I dove with 1 gopro except for 2 dives. I wanted to benchmark filming in 2.7K with protune on (no filter) but I have yet to sort through that footage so can't report quite yet.
All filming done was in 1080 60fps with protune off. Goal is to create 3 zip line videos (done). 1 trip video (done) and 17 scuba videos. At this time I made 3 and I think I might have to curtail total number of videos to 10 but we'll see.
After I came back I ordered a glass version of polarpro so now I have one of each (acrylic and glass). glass looks more orange which is awesome.
