My daughter is hearing impaired, she has been diving since the age of 5, she is the one in my profile picture, she picked up diving 3 times as fast as my other daughter because of being able to communicate under water easier. In my opinion the best dive instructor would be hearing impaired, by far, more natural for us. My daughter can feel the noise vibration of me tapping on my tank in the water. Pretty cool.
Darn... THIS IS INCLUSION... talking on sign language inside an outside water. This guy is THE BEST reviewer I saw in my life. Art is for everyone. Congratulations bro!!!!!
I want to say Thank You Very Much to the author. This is only video that I found that clearly explain and show how underwater filters work. Now I know all I need about these filters. Thank you once again!
I bought an accessories kit and it had these 3 filters and I had no Idea why would I want to make my video all reddish! now I get it, thank you so much
@@MicBergsma I used to work with people with a disability. As a psychologist, it was my job to inspire people so see what is possible instead of what is not. But this channel is really NEXT LEVEL. Wonderful job! Super inspiring! 👏
Thank you so much! I have been looking everywhere for info for using gopros while diving. Your videos are packed full of information and shot so well. I am hoping my diving video quality will increase after watching your vids!
You nailed this vid. I am just starting out and debating whether or not to get a filter. This was exactly what I was hoping to find in a youtube video showing the difference.
I am watching this before deciding a purchase. This is the second video I watch from you and I like the way you do them. Thank you for sharing a great style!
i bought this product and it does makes the difference. but recently i switch to dive light but still in deep waters i use sometimes the combo the snorkel filter with dive light
I love this video, most of the video is straight to the point and good arrangement. Keep up the good work brother. Love your content. Cheers from Sabah
Hi Mic, I have noticed that when you've put the filter and you were explaining things underwater, the behind-above you was redish, as one would expect when using a red filter and pointing to the surface. But at about 4:56 you show some coral and fish and we can see the surface behind and there's no red tint. Was it color corrected/graded on postproduction? Or this filter doesn't red tint when pointed to the surface? Thank you in advance for the info!
I’m so glad to have come across your video. I use to live out in Micronesia back in the day and we had one of the first, consumer grade, underwater film cameras. But man of man, the pictures were all washed out and near colorless…despite the MAGNIFICENT colors of the coral reefs! It was such a shame to not be able to capture the colors of the beautiful ecosystems. However, I’m planning on head back there before to long and I’ll have to pick up these filters for my trip. So thanks! This was helpful at seeing the differences. Cheers
Thank you for making such a dope channel. I enjoy following and watching your videos. It is nice coming from someone who knows sign language. I finally got myself 2x GoPro Hero 9. Your channel is my #1 go to when I want to look something up related to GoPro :-) now I recently got my first drone, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. I'm looking forward capturing more shots and apply what I learn from your channel. :-) keep up the hard work !
Aloha Mic, I used the Polarpro Divemaster filters with my GoPro8 today at Mala. Used the red filter, since diving around 20 ft or more. Vids came out so perfect. My instructor used a GoPro9 with no filter. The filter really makes a difference to get perfect videos. Its true!. Get over to Mala to do some diving soon. You will totally enjoy! Maybe best shore dive on Maui.
Just bought the 9 plus the filters. This is my first go pro. Taking it on a dive trip what settings do you recommend. Will be in fresh and salt . Thank you
Genuine question. Wouldn't you get the same results by locking the white balance and then editing the colour later? That's how I've always done it. Am I missing out on something here?
Hello, Another great video and I'm looking forward to the next one. You do it very well, I love it because it is well explained and you can always see a comparison. Best regards Volker
Question, are you sure your housing is a supersuit? Or could it be the Protective Housing? Gopro sells them as different products, no idea what the difference is, but the Supersuit requires the front lense to be removed from the Gopro itself. It doesn't look like you did that here. Want to make sure I get the correct combination of stuff so it fits lol
GREAT video! What video settings (including Protune) would you recommend for diving 60ft+ with a red PolarPro filter PLUS little to no editing after shooting?
I got these filters from the GoPro's website and they are nowhere near as good as the original gopro filters made for hero 7,6,5,4 cameras. They do bring the red color back but in sunny days you get a washed out red image instead of a colorful one. the light creates glare when hitting the polarpro filters whereas the original gopro filters let the light through and keep the clear colors. now gopro does not make filters for the hero 9, but instead sells the polarpro ones. why are we not left the option to choose which brand we like? PS. great review, always very informative.
I'm curious, in your side by side comparisons of 'No Filter' and 'Snorkel Filter' the shots are identical (same framing and fish in exact same spots). So you obviously didn't use the filter or vice versa for these shots. The 'filter' we're seeing must be a post-production filter. If you can achieve those results in post-production, then why do I need the filter?
Hi Mic I love your channel sending you positive vibes from the big island. I had a question about what settings I should be using when snorkeling on the GoPro 9?
Hi Mic 🙋 I have some questions and may a new idea for your next Video. It would be interesting to compare snorkel and diving filters at the same depth. Also with different frame rates. A comparison with filters and different color profiles between gopro color and flat color profile would be great. Is it possible to edit gopro color or does it make no sense? Have a nice day. 😎
Yo i just realized you can have full conversations underwater with sign language, that’s so neat! Thanks for another great video!
haha yes we chat underwater all the time, it's awesome! 😄🙏🏼
My daughter is hearing impaired, she has been diving since the age of 5, she is the one in my profile picture, she picked up diving 3 times as fast as my other daughter because of being able to communicate under water easier.

Hey, can this filter fit in go pro 10, really like the filter and your review
I am looking for a best video for underwater. I realized you sign language as I understand. Thank you for sharing your useful item. 🤙👌🤙👌
Do you hear vibrations? If so do the bubbles from the scuba make vibrations that you can hear
Me gustó la buena onda de tu video, saludos desde el caribe!
Thank you for sharing! I just subscribed. Your videos are super helpful and enjoyable to watch! Awesome channel man 🤙🏽
OMG!! I could've watched this video for hours. Amazing information, details and demonstration!
what white balance setting to use with the filters so I don't need to edit in post production?
Thank you for this interesting video on using these filters with my GoPro Hero 9.
Thanks for your amazing work
Wow I just discovered you today and I am in love with your videos! They are very high quality and informative! Thanks for doing what you do!
hello friend. Is white balance on auto or did you choose a temperature? when we work on automatic with red filter, is the result satisfactory? hugs
Thank you MicBergsma ! Please, Which settings with these filters ?
Thank you for all the efforts in making this great informative video. I find it very useful.
Where's this place you dive?
Loved this & great info!!!
Mindblowing review
Thanks a lot for this amazing super detailed review, im ordering my kit right now

You're welcome Jerm! Thank you so much, more videos coming! 😄🤙🏼
Helpful video as usual but it made me miss diving AND made me jealous of you getting to be down there having fun! Have some extra fun for me please.
Thanks Pete... ahh yes I bet, will do 😄🙌🏼
@@MicBergsma Yeah, I know you will. I can count on you. Off topic, boy, I can't wait to see Kona completed.
Amazing demonstration - a fiest for eyes! Thank you!
Great video, where i can get the supersuit housing for my hero 9

Hi John! I am so glad to hear that you got good videos with filter!! I love Mala, I scuba and freediving there a lot 😄🤙🏼
Does anyone know to setup your GoPro 9 underwater settings? What would y’all recommend using. I live in Virgin Islands and the water is pretty clear.
Thank you, Mic! Your videos are always helpful and interesting!
You’re welcome 😎🙌🏼
I love your stuff brother! Keep making awesome content! 🤙
Great video, really enjoyed it . Plan on buying one for my trip!
Thanks Tom! Glad to hear! Awesome enjoy your trip!! 😄🤙🏼
great video!!! iknow these filters are amzing underwater what if you're constantly going in and out of the water would you still use them?
For polarpro and backscalter which brand is easy to use?
Thanks for making this video, I can understand more the difference
Can I use those filters without the housing ? I.just want something to water drips not to be on the video at all . Any suggestions
*Спасибо за ВИДОС. ВСЕХ С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ И ЗДОРОВЬЯ ВАМ!!!!!!!!*
Awesome videos. Quick question for you. Do you need filters if someone is snorkeling in 0-10 feet of water? thanks
Brilliant development! From now I'm waiting for the same lenses for some Chinese cameras!
Just bought the 9 plus the filters. This is my first go pro.
Taking it on a dive trip what settings do you recommend. Will be in fresh and salt .
Thank you
Are you using ND filter at start of video?
You’re my go to for all things GoPro!
Happy to hear that!
Beautiful vid! Where on Maui was most of it shot?
I just want to make sure the housing comes with the ND filters?
Toujours de belles images
Mitch, do you have a video comparing red filters versus just editing in post?
Pure magic that underwater world. 🤍
😄🤙🏼🤙🏼
Genuine question. Wouldn't you get the same results by locking the white balance and then editing the colour later? That's how I've always done it. Am I missing out on something here?
Which filter is the best for underwater?
Excelente video... Te felicito... Siempre de muy buena calidad👏👏👏🎇
Wow This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.Keep it up!
Your video's really helpful and where's this dive location? It's really clear and beautiful. Thank you for the review!
Amazing! Thank for your time to explain how filters works.
What presets do u use in your gopro? I just bought a Hero 12 Black.
Я человек простой, вижу этого парня - ставлю лайк. В его обьяснениях больше смысла чем в 98% ютуба.
Nice always love your underwater vids. Thanks.....and great job
What are ur settings for the GOPRO originally and what do u recommend for underwater settings
I have underwater settings video on my channel, go to my channel and type in search box “GoPro underwater settings” you will see it pop up 🤙🏼
Hello,
Another great video and I'm looking forward to the next one.
You do it very well, I love it because it is well explained and you can always see a comparison.
Best regards
Volker
Thank you, was really helpful. 🙏
can you do hero 10 filters?
Would love to know where you are snorkeling or diving looks amazing
I live on Maui, Hawaii :)
Question, are you sure your housing is a supersuit? Or could it be the Protective Housing? Gopro sells them as different products, no idea what the difference is, but the Supersuit requires the front lense to be removed from the Gopro itself. It doesn't look like you did that here.

Can you use these filters WITHOUT the dive case on the GoPro?
OMG you are so good in your videos. Exactly what I was looking for. Congrats🏅
What settings do you have on?
GREAT video! What video settings (including Protune) would you recommend for diving 60ft+ with a red PolarPro filter PLUS little to no editing after shooting?
super clear and direct msg.....

Just wondering did what settings did you have your camera on while recording? Thanks
Always enjoy your vids mic!! The dive filters are definitely a must for deep water diving! 🤿
😎🤙🏼🤙🏼 thank you so much !
Great video!!! Thank you so much for the great work
Thanks Abel!
Hi! What WB settings do you use with filers? What do you think about backscatter flip9?
Have you had any issues with sand scratching the lenses so far? Thanks for the review :)
Is there a colour filter diving mask ? Would be great if we can see it with our own eyes
I'm curious, in your side by side comparisons of 'No Filter' and 'Snorkel Filter' the shots are identical (same framing and fish in exact same spots). So you obviously didn't use the filter or vice versa for these shots. The 'filter' we're seeing must be a post-production filter.

Hi Mic I love your channel sending you positive vibes from the big island. I had a question about what settings I should be using when snorkeling on the GoPro 9?
Excellent video. Thank you!
Hi Mic 🙋
I have some questions and may a new idea for your next Video.
It would be interesting to compare snorkel and diving filters at the same depth.
Also with different frame rates.
A comparison with filters and different color profiles between gopro color and flat color profile would be great. Is it possible to edit gopro color or does it make no sense? Have a nice day. 😎
