Hi, the sharks where on a full day trip, Xmas tree reef and Orimas, the Rays where on channel crossing using scooters, but it was a compilation so a few sites in there. Can’t recommend ProDivers enough, brilliant outfit, lots of dive trips everyday. Cheers Terry
I glad of this video because too often we see ribbon worms out of water and dying. These animals need to be seen living in their natural habitat to be truly appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Nick, I used two gopro's, one has two different red filters for shallow and deep and the other has a flip down macro lens and I use two video lights when that's on to put the colour back, first time I've used it and I was happy with the results, just need more diving to get better :-)
Hi Terry, were you using the red filter here ... ??? Looks like you were. It is recommended for further than 5 meters. I scuba dived at Kuramathi island last year and used the red filter to great effect at 18 meters. Going to Kuredu next year tho. ;-)
+Gavin Mooney , hi Gavin, no filter on this one , just two 3,000 lumen video lights and a bit of red added on editing. I do now use red filters though as a lot easier :-) We're back in Kuredu at Easter, if you can then do the Noon Atoll day trip it really is worth it, have fun, Terry
Awesome video! Do you use those light filters or tinted lense shields or anything? I have watched some tutorial videos on diving with a gopro and it said you need to put little rolled up cloths in the inner sides of the standard housing, to prevent leakage, and should use some sort of purple tinted filter things... I don't see a real need for either of them, the cloths maybe, but the lenses, I'm not so sure they're required. Do you think I need either of them? Again, sick video.
Hi, thank you, i used a camera tray with two go pros, one set to wide and the other narrow along with two video lights. glad you liked it, it was a lot of fun :-)
Shipwreck LtCdr Shinohara, who was not aboard, survives the sinking. Later, the Japanese informally name I-169 the "Shinohara". Over the next six weeks, Japanese divers investigated the shipwreck to determine the cause of the sinking and recovered thirty-two bodies. Their investigations did not reveal the reasons for the malfunction. With the threat of invasion by US forces, the submarine was bombarded with depth charges to prevent it from falling into American hands. In 1971, the wreck was discovered by divers and filmed. They entered the submarine through an engine room hatch and filmed the interior of the submarine with the skeletal remains of its crew. When this footage was shown in Japan, it caused much concern and nearly $100,000 was donated to recover these remains. Recovery of Remains During August 1973, a professional diving team using a dredge located personal effects and about 70 skulls. Photos, books, clothing, cameras and other personal effects along with the bones were cremated as part of the Shinto rites. The remains of nearly 100 were removed, indicating that there were more people on the sub than the normal crew of 70. Probably support personal and workmen. The salvage team welded the sub's hatches shut before leaving. The remains and personal effects of I-169's crew are returned to Japan where they are cremated as part of Shinto rites. Very little marine growth grows on the wreck. The water quality in this area is poor. The bow and conning tower have been heavily damaged from the depth charges that were fired to destroy it. Wreckage and debris is strewn about, and the 3.9 inch deck gun is lying in a pile of wreckage off to the side. The wreck is in 130 to 150 feet of water. Hoses and cables from the rescue efforts are along the side of the hold. The stern is also heavily damaged from depth charges. Two divers were killed in April 1974 while exploring the wreck. One diver drown when he became trapped in the engine room. His partner attempted to free him, but ran out of air and was forced to surface. Display I-169's bell is displayed at the Yasukuni Shrine.
