Details |
This was my first dive with the D7000 in its housing and I was looking for some video subjects.
Entered at the beach and first headed out to the centre reef. Found a blue groper and mourning cuttlfish and got some footage there. I then headed to the eastern shore and headed north along the rock reef. I was buzzed for over a minute by a large school of 60cm+ yellow-tail kingfish but in the exitement I completely failed to get any footage. It is a pity as they came in very close (and fast). Managed to find another mourning cuttlefish and seahorse on the way back to the beach.
See the footage below. |
