I'm liking the composition with the different layers -surface water, mid water and bottom. Nice thing about shallow is all the light.

Interesting and unique photos. Black and blue marks through a wetsuit no less and fin nibbles I think I'll pass on this dive. Just say'in .....

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on my Tahoe video, I truly appreciate it. Yes it was an interesting dive Dale and I would recommend it - altitude and fresh water diving is something i had not done before. Not much marine life but the underwater topography ... oh my very interesting. NWDiver thank you as well and interesting side note on the Emerald Bay wrecks!

Really like the schooling fish. Nice capture.

Very interesting the video link posted by Kraken adds to the mystic of this unusual fish.

Wow beautiful shots. Very clear, colorful with nice lighting. Well done!

Abundant sea life both big and small, well done. Are the resorts open for diving now?

Interesting and informative life of the Bumphead Parrot fish. Definitely a documentary style of short film. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I really appreciate it.

I agree that buoyancy for a GoPro with video light(s) on a tray probably not that vital. I think a good way to attach your rig so that you don't drop/lose is it more important. Definitely have heard my share of people losing their GoPros myself included. Lost a GoPro 7 doing a giant stride during a night dive. Got to the bottom and wanted to start filming something and realized I did not have the housing screw on tight enough it was gone ....oh my.

I do believe the image stabilization on the GoPro8 has been improved and so has the automatic white balance. Is it enough to warrant buying a new camera - probably not. And yes you will need a new housing but the price is pretty reasonable about $50. Here is an example of the GoPro 8 that I shot here in San Diego California.

I would highly recommend a GoPro 8 with a tray and one or two video lights. I use two Light & Motion lights affordable and effective. Keeping it simple and affortable. You will still need to learn video editing YouTube has lots of tutorials depending on what program you choose. Here is a video I put together using mostly the GoPro7 but some GoPro8 as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTDQ6XtWeiE Hope this helps

I like the Black and White. Thanks for sharing.
