Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[djtimmy77]

Any idea how long the GoPro will run on one charge? How about the "card"? How long to fill that up?? TIA

I have a Hero2, and on the two tank boat dives I have taken it on I have run out of battery juice midway through the 2nd dive. On the two BHB dives I have taken it on (90-100 min) I have not run out of juice.

I have a 32GB card and haven't used more than half of it before the battery runs out, filming at 1080p.

What filter were you using, if any? And why such a strong vignette?

I have this housing: GoPro Housing with Glass Flat Port & Orange Filter [gop.glass.orng] - $119.99 : Reef Photo & Video!, The Underwater Photo Pros so that is the filter I use, and it is also what causes the vignette. I may consider getting the gopro dive housing for it eventually.

The dive today was great. a LOT more divers at the park, lots of classes, but they did a good job of keeping them away from the divers. had 75°F for water temp and the visibility was much improved from yesterday.

Hadn't previously run across the two types of garden eels together.

Kind of cool to catch these two youngsters together.

This guy was repeatedly harassed by the brightly colored reef fish at the snorkel trail.

This is blown way up in an effort to show the peppermint shrimp in the crevice - which was apparently why the puffer was lying on his side.

I *think* I'm finally starting to be able to recognize when a bar jack is actually a blue runner.

Wrasse ID wears me out, but I think the guy on the bottom is a Clown Wrasse.

My first juvie Spadefish. This culling stuff is just too difficult for me.

love the juvi spadefish!
Nice shots, you've come a long ways photographically speaking in the past year or so!

Thank you! I'm certainly learning more and more about the dive site. Totally addicted now.

According to the Pura Vida FB page Cliff is doing good and eating, which is a good sign.

My first time UW with the Hero 3. Just put together a short vid to show the quality. I'm impressed. I had it on a 3ft. GoPole. I turned the whole cam off at times and also just shut the vid down at other times. 95min. dive. Can't begin to tell you how much time on battery if I kept it continually on. Battery life is supposed to be not good.

Is there a night dive coming up ?

 

[Diesel00]

There is one with Force E tonight.

 

[Shcubasteve]

Nice night dive tonight. Water was clear before the tide switched. Lots of divers having fun.

Any vis reports? Thinking about diving this weekend.
