This is just some footage of my last 2 dives. Shot between 3-10 meters. The water temp is approximately 18 C at the moment.

Today, after being at sea for a week to bring a tall ship back to Rotterdam, we went for a dive. The water temperature is still 17 C which is quite nice for the time of the year.

Good videos there.....What equipment---ie camera/lites--are you using????.....tia..

Sorry I missed your question. I use a Canon HF G10 in a L&M Blue Fin housing and one Sola 1200. Editing with Final Cut Pro on MacBook Pro.
There are more movies on my youtube channel: sphyrnidus.
I started using this combination in 2013.
I'm thinking about another light, because the Sola has some issues. The RG Blue lights look appealing..

I enjoyed your videos. You are at the northern edge of European or Short Snouted Seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus) distribution. Do you see them with any frequency? I have seen them near Barcelona and Mallorca, but have never dived in your area.

Thank you agilis. If you are talking about the second movie at around 45 seconds, yes I see those quite often. But is that actually a hippocampus hippocampus? I have seen photo's taken in the same area showing seahorses, but I've never seen them myself.
I thought this was more the likes of Entelurus aequoreus, but of course I may be wrong as I'm not really knowledgeable about the Dutch sea life, I just film what shows up in front of my camera

As I did a lot of other things this year, so I haven't been filming a lot.
But this weekend we did a nice long dive: max depth 10 m, dive time 69 min.

For reasons I can't figure out, the embedding doesn't work, for me, but here is another short movie.
Filmed with the Canon HF G10 in L&M Bluefin and two RGBlue lights.
The location is the Oosterscheld in the Netherlands.
Depth 1-12 meters, dive time 2x 70 minutes
