Diver's Notes

Went with Greg for a dive at Clifton Gardens. The dive went for about 2 hours in total, we saw lots of cephalopods like octopus and cuttlefish, pygmy leatherjackets were courting and fighting off competing males, there were plenty of nudibranchs, a painted anglerfish and a tentacle held my hand! Oh, and there were seahorses and green moray eels too. All in all a really great dive. Towards the end of the dive I began to get cold, but I kept filming and got a lot of great footage. I also manage to find a scuba knife, so now all I need is to find a holster and my kit feels more and more complete all the time.
I tried different settings with the gopro this time. I used 2.7k resolution at 30fps and spot metering. I think I'll keep these settings. The extra resolution helps a whole lot, and I don't miss the higher frame rates. Spot metering seems like it helped keep exposures in reasonable ranges given the spot lights we've been using on the dives.
