Default Dive video

Sorry it's a bit long and the videography isn't great - first time using a go pro and doing under water video.

Not sure why it is starting in the middle of the clip - my apologies, I apparently made some rookie mistakes in the youtube upload.

Seems like there is a lot of life on that reef. Not the clearest waters, but sure looks like an abundance of diversified life.
Colours are good. Mine never turn out that well.
What go pro model is that you use? and the settings? Do you use a filter? Mine seem more greyish blue. I have to learn how to use mine better. I have a Hero3+
black edition.
Thanks

I have dove the reefs in Cozumel several times and yes it is world class however Puerto Vallarta has some incredible diving to offer and although the corals & sponges are much smaller I honestly think there may be a greater diversity of sealife in PV. One dive I'm riding a Manta and the next petting sea horses. This video does no justice to the dives and the visibility was not the best that week however as witnessed in the video - plankton brings manta rays. The thing with PV is you need to get up very close to the reef rocks to really see what's there.

Dove In PV last year on a cruise to Cabo and the whole time we were in the whales were singing. Amazing experience. Viz sucked then too, but there were morays all over and tons of fish. Loved what we could see.
Dove Cozumel quite a few years back, 15-20 probably. Heard lots of the sites we dove got ravaged by the last few hurricanes and what not over the last few years.

Either way, both great places to dive with great diversity.
