A little harsh, Greg. I was amazed at how good the viz was, but I was
bothered by the reflection of the video camera lens in the housing
port. That can't be right...

That's OK. Marshall's used to it, I'm sure. Maybe he's using a DIY
housing?
I've shot a fair amount of video in places with strong conditions like
Indonesia and Cocos where it can be hard to hold a housing still
against the current. I've also shot in easy conditions like the
Belize Atolls, where holding the housing steady is as easy as diving
there. I was surprised to find out that the conditions in a quarry
mirror the tough Pacific conditions. Maybe that's why I've always
been hesitant to dive in a quarry.

Hi George,
Truthfully, I threw this video together as I was doing experimental things.
First of all, I got the red filter for the housing and used that for the
first time. I believe that is where the lens reflection came in, so better
I go back to no filter. Next experiment was using Google Earth in the
video. The last experiment was using my son's MacBook and Final Cut to edit
it. Anyway, I switched back to my Windows PC and used Pinnacle Studio like
my other ones.
And yes, Greg, I know I was not holding the video camera steady. This was
supposed to be the first of two dives that day and I was scouting locations
and shots. Anyway, my dive buddy developed a sinus squeeze problem and this
was our only dive that day there.
Anyway, it's out there for people who have never been to Gilboa to get a
preview.
