very cool Jack!

Hey Jack, Im the guy you ran into at the Harbor freight store about those Apache case and we got to talking. I absolutely love this footage the musical goes very well with it! I think you can break up this video into a couple parts the first song when it ended would of been a great time to fade to black and video end there then break up the rest of the songs into more videos. So that way you have more content on your channel and people stay interested and what to look for more, and so you don't feel rushed or backed up making one big video. Just food for thought! Love watching all this!

Hey Gunner, thanks for the comments and suggestions. I really put this together so I can have a comprehensive documentation of the entire trip all in one place. Although I do have plans to make a condensed version of the video but I am now just about to publish our 2017 trip in the next couple of weeks, so watch for it to come out soon! It was good meeting you in the store last week and thanks again for the suggestions!

Wow,some awesome footage. Which dive site did you encounter the Seahorses? We're going to Bonaire in late January and would like to see a Seahorse. Those frogfish are cool.

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video! We were back in Bonaire in late Sept. and saw the seahorse at the north end of Invisibles. We see the frogfish at Barri reef and Something Special. As always, check with your dive company to find out the latest sightings. Enjoy your trip and let us know what you see and where also! Thanks once again, Jack

Hi Jack. Incredible footage. We're looking forward to getting video like this on our trip May 2018. In the market for a GoPro or possibly an Intova X2. The reason for including the X2 is that it includes a led light. I noticed you were using a light as well. What kind were you using. Thank you!

Hi John, Glad you liked the video. I am using 2 - Light In Motion GoBe 700 Lumen each, lights on a tray that came as a kit. My advice is to get as much light as you can afford. Two lights are always better than one! The tray helps to control camera movement and steady the shot. I always shot the video with a PolarPro Switchblade Red filter with a macro glass bubble (when macro is needed)along with the 2 lights. The Red filter is a MUST. I shoot the video at 30fps and 1080P at the medium setting. Other settings distort the outside edges of the shot. Sorry this was long! Have a great scuba trip!

Hi John, I can't wait to see your video. Please send a link when you have it finished!

Did you keep the macro lense on the whole time you filmed?

Hi Hailey, I usually have my GoPro on the medium field of view setting. I find the wide setting is too far and narrow does not give me enough field of vision. I use the 'Switch Blade" red filter along with the macro. The red filter is great for the white balance and use the macro portion of the switchblade only on the very close up shots. Hope that helps! Let me know if that answered your question. Jack
