Eel hit my camera and more muck diving highlights

[klausi]

All dives are nice, but in some there is more action than in others. Last week an eel knocked my camera out of my hand, and I witnessed a wrestling match between two crabs, plus a fire worm feeding on a crab. Negros Island, Philippines, at night. Enjoy:

Awesome video...you may yet turn me into a muck diving fan!

What are your video recording tools?

Thank you!

It's a TG6, in the Olympus housing, and a cheap-o gorilla tripod. and two no-brand dive lights. The lights are supposedly 2000 lumen, but they aren't. I always found that power in macro videography is not a major factor. I always try to get very close to the subjects, and never max out the zoom.
