GoPro

Before you dive, there are a few things you should know. For one thing, you'll want to use a quality GoPro Super Suit. These suits are waterproof to 60 meters, and will keep your camera steady while you're shooting. Look for a handle made specifically for underwater use, such a telescopic.


GoPro Problems

The GoPro camera is an affordable, small, and easy-to-use device that many people have used to record their underwater dives. Unfortunately, some issues with the video of the GoPro camera can occur. Some videos are too bright or have little color. You can solve these issues by editing clips to improve the quality.

Problems with wide angles lenses

One of the main problems with wide-angle lenses for video of diving is that they don't give you uniform lighting. To achieve consistent results, try focusing on lighting your subject from the front. A strobe attached to a long arm can also help to avoid overexposure and direct light to your subject. Take several test shots before you find the best direction to light your subject. As required, adjust the shutter speed and power of both the strobe or aperture.

Editing underwater video

An important step is to edit your underwater video before sharing it with the world. Because your viewers have a finite attention span, it is essential that the video be short. The average attention span of your audience is three minutes. You should keep the footage short and manageable. To do this, select the best clips from the footage, and keep them in a logical sequence. To make the video more entertaining, you can also add text to the clips or transitions.
