@@sunfrost Cool, thanks for the response. I'm an advanced diver, but have never gone with a camera. The gopros don't seem as cost prohibitive as I assumed. Do you have any suggestions for a user-friendly model, mainly underwater use?
Omar K I’ve only used GoPro as far as action cameras are concerned so I can’t speak to other manufacturers. That said, the newer gopros are quite nice with lots of built in image stabilization that was not offered at the time I got my camera. When you start shooting make sure you use 60fps or higher it will really make your video much more crisp. Also consider getting a filter or filter system to help with color correction as you lose a lot of color at depth. The filter will help adjust for that. Video lights are also an option but then you’re getting into expensive equipment. You need to decide what your budget allows for. Camera first and then maybe filter or filters. Then lights.
Michael Elliott thanks! Most of this was with natural light only. Some of the Frog fish shots on the back wall included some flashlight. I acquired a good tray and light for my GoPro after this trip.
VintageVinyl its a mixture of Hero 3 silver and hero 4 black. I believe it was 720p 60 FPS on the silver and 1080p at 60 on the black but it’s been a while. No extra lights were used except for some flashlights for some deeper scenes. Post production was just using protune in The standard GoPro editing software.
ksenia k Maui Dive Shop, 1455 S. Kihei Rd. Kihei, Hawaii. And Ed Robinson's Diving Adventures Ed Robinson's is more of an experienced group with eclectic management. Maui Dive Shop is top notch. Nice people, good customer service.
@@kenziepaige4519 he's saying that bc you need to respect the animals space. don't chase octopus or moray eels give sea turtles their space. you give them space they feel more comfortable and stay so you can watch longer rather they feel uncomfortable and they taking moving from the area and you go to continue to chase it like paparazzi
Its so beautiful
I like how at the beginning the turtle didn't even care there was a camera in its face.
I seen a video where a huge shark cruised through this very area, glad when I was snorkelling there that it was like 5 years in the past lol
Si
Maneaters are often here, thus a ‘temple of doom.’
Wow, amazing video quality! What max depth did you dive at Molokini?
Omar K on the back wall we did around 100 feet. In the crater it is much shallower 30-60feet depending.

@@sunfrost Great, thanks so much for the info!
nicely done. the vis looks amazing. what time of year did you go?
kkkkkkkk January. Vis was very good!!
Nice video, were you using any supplementary lighting or just ambient?
Michael Elliott thanks! Most of this was with natural light only. Some of the Frog fish shots on the back wall included some flashlight. I acquired a good tray and light for my GoPro after this trip.
Sunlight is enough here, at noon. Night photo graphy requires strobe, or floodlights.
Which GoPro and settings did you use?
VintageVinyl its a mixture of Hero 3 silver and hero 4 black. I believe it was 720p 60 FPS on the silver and 1080p at 60 on the black but it’s been a while. No extra lights were used except for some flashlights for some deeper scenes. Post production was just using protune in The standard GoPro editing software.
What camera are you using in this video?
This is a mix of GoPro hero 3 silver and hero 4 black footage.
