Stingray City Video

[crux0724]

Here is my first GoPro video. My wife and I did Stingray City in GC. It was a much better dive than I thought. Any/all feedback would be fantastic because I'm very new at the videography/editing thing.

Nice video...but the female was freaking out! Looks like she lost her tank and was on the verge of panic.

Haha, that is my wife. She did lose her tank and thought it was a ray trying to get her. She had a great time but gets anxious quickly.

I can't say I blame her! LOL!

As far as the video goes, just try not to move the camera so much.
As far as the diving... that's a horrible display of buoyancy control. Every single person in that video is vertical and kicking the crap out of the bottom. Your videos will be better if you can hold the camera steady. You cannot hold the camera steady if you cannot hold your body steady.

Didn't know that it was a requirement to stay horizontal! Good thing it is very shallow there, though. It's easier to just snorkel at Stingray City.

I definitely need to work on stabilizing the camera. As for the buoyancy comment, Stingray City wasn't the typical dive. They over weight you and want you to sink to the bottom. Granted, my wife doesn't have many dives and needs reminders on staying horizontal. It wouldn't have mattered on this dive though. I bet buoyancy was the last thing on her mind due to those rays trying to envelope her
