Video From Turks & Caicos (Aggressor)

[Scott from LongIsland]

This was my first time using the GoPro hero 3 Black. I had previously used an Intova Sport Pro but i flooded it.

I used a Polar Pro red filter and an Ultralight 1 handle tray. No lights.

This is an overall compilation of clips from the trip.

This was my best clip of the week of a stingray swimming up to me and burying itself to hide.

Cool videos.

Word of advice... well 2... as a polar pro user to a polar pro user.

Take your camera and point it at yourself. Position filter with the tab (that has string coming off it) on your right. Now take the string and wrap it around camera's base and loop it through gopro screw. That will add just a hint of tension to the string so it will not flap around in front of your camera while you dive.

Also something I learned on my trip I just came from. Polar pro loves to attract bubbles. Every now and then tilt your camera backwards toward yourself and wipe surface bubbles with finger or just tilt the camera up. That clears bubbles off filter.

On my recent trip to Roatan I religiously checked for bubbles. Good thing I check all of my videos in hotel so I spotted bubbles asap. 99.9% of my footage came out fine but that one bubble... it will always get into the most important shot.

Great videos, we are going on the T&C Aggressor in late fall, how was your trip? Seeing your video makes it hard to wait!

had a wonderful time on the T&C Aggressor and I thought the diving was great. Lots of sharks, nice walls plenty of variety. there was little to no current and excellent viz. the crew was fantastic too although, i believe it is a different group right now. I thought the boat was great, well set up and had plenty of room. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me. I would highly recommend the trip though.
