Underwater video

[Rattletrap2]

I've never tried posting this type of thing before, but here goes. It ain't fishing, but it is the reason I love to fish! For me, it's all about seeing the fish rather than the actual catching.

 

This was filmed on May 30th. which is pretty darn early to be swimmin wit da fishes in this here part of the world!

i can have it operated on but seemed like over kill,..my ears hurt for a day or two after flying in jets too

That's great Brian, really nice clear pictures.

 

I used to have a cheapo still camera that would supposedly take pictures underwater. I thought it would be good to take some nice release shots of fish beside the boat but nothing ever turned out for me.

cool video! What camera is that? I like that one bass who tuns back to say,"Hey buddy, why you following me?"

Thanks guys!

The camera is simply the Olympus 1030 SW. It is already out of production and replaced with a new model. The camera is rated for 33 feet or 10 meters of depth. A lot of them are only rated for 10 feet or 3 meters and would actually be okay in this case. Maximum depth is around 10 feet.

 

I used to SCUBA dive when I was younger and held certifications for both NAUI and PADI as a sport diver. These days I stick to snorkelling and can spend hours cruising the shorelines looking at fish.

 

I was back in the water this afternoon looking for fry. I saw them when above the water, but could not locate them under water. Oh well, I did get more footage of the variety of different fish.

 

Thanks for looking!
