I viewed this yesterday at the Blue Ocean Festival. It was riveting.
I could not help but wonder though to what lengths people will go to film the next big undiscovered/undocumented/unphotographed thing. I joked with my wife afterward that we should go dive with hippos.

Hey Brad,
     So what happened to the "heart" symbol for when you like someone's video?
Steve


The :D heart LIKE symbol still shows in the upper right if you are viewing other peoples videos. If you view your own video while logged-in the heart is absent. I didn't noticed this until tried it just now.

Actually, I just noticed that the heart symbol is no longer there and some kind of clock which says 'Later' is on screen.  Anyone know why?

There is a new Watch Later feature which allows you to add videos to a playlist for later viewing. I have not tried it yet so I can't comment on how useful it is.

I've been told that white duct tape on your fins works well.
I picked some up at the local hardware store this past weekend. I was surprised to see several colors available. There were two brands of white.

I have to say i'm tempted - although reviews seem to imply that I would then need two strobes as well and also need to get very close to use it to best effect.

Will I (or in fact do I want to) get close enough to the sharks in galapagos to enjoy it?


Yes, the sharks will get close enough for strobes. Just hunker down behind a rock and be ready. You will get a few good, strobe-worthy passes (3-4 feet away) per dive if you choose your location well. Wolf Island is a good place to practice this technique.

The 10-17 is the lens to use. I brought a 12-24 but soon realized it was the wrong lens for close subjects.
