So I traveled 10,000 miles on the biggest dive trip of my life aboard the Palau Siren; hauled my Sony underwater video cameras, Equinox housing and lights aboard only to find that I didn’t have the chargers for my Sony cameras. I went into a panic and fell into the fetal position on the cabin floor in complete disbelief of my dire situation. My only other option was to use my GoPro Hero3 with my lights from my other cameras. I was limited to a degree, especially with the close up stuff and also had some stability issues. I didn’t have high expectations for the GopPro, but when I returned home and began the editing process, I have to say that I am very impressed with these small easy to use, point and shoot cameras and what they can do in the hands of someone that can compose a shot and use light properly. The Hero3 saved my dive trip and I will never go on another dive trip without one. Thank you GoPro! Here is the video I composed from the GoPro footage I shot on that trip.
