VIDEO - GoPro Hero 2 with Backscatter in the Caribbean

[quikcolin]

Hi everyone,

I just got back from our Caribbean cruise to Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. It was a blast. Best part... diving in both St. Thomas and Grand Turk!

This was my first underwater adventure with a Hero2 and the Backscatter housing. It was a first for the Magic Red filter as well.

The Backscatter housing is bullet proof! I loved it. I really can't say enough about the design. The way the "Magic Red Filter" is fitted onto the housing with the rubber bands is perfect! It allows for easy on and off depending on the depth of the dive. No more need to fiddle with screw on filters.

These are the first 2 of 4 videos I'm making. The first is the Miss Opportunity wreck in St. Thomas, and the second is the East Wind Reef drift dive we did. The coloring you see in the videos is NOT edited in any way.

Enjoy.

PLEASE VIEW IN AT LEAST 720P (otherwise the image quality is horrible)

Colin,
Great video! Thanks for posting them here.
I received my GoPro with Backscatter housing last week.
Hope my shots turn out as good as yours.

They both looked great! The Barracuda going for a fish at 1:30 into the Miss Opportunity video was cool to get on video

That kind of spooked me to be honest lol. I wasn't sure if he was upset with me, or was going after a fish at first! :huh:

Thanks for your comments guys
