| Remarks |
I had technical problems with my camera on this dive. There were a lot of times that it recorded and I didn't want it to be recording. I shot 13 minutes of tape, about two minutes is worth watching.
This dive was used to demonstrate the types of camera motions underwater. I did the following: pan, tilt, dolly, truck, follow and lead. I didn't really have much problems with the motions. The biggest problem I had was holding steady. Part of my problem was the current and the lack of dead space to stabalize myself on.
I wasn't that impressed with this dive site. It was mainly a mountain of coral. At the dive brief Brad told us to swim with the coral on our right. This way everyone would be swimming the same way and there wouldn't be (m)any collisions. I guess it worked, because I didn't run into anyone on accident. One annoying thing was that the diver's bubbles from below us would get in our way.
