Scuba diving GoPro HD in Cape Verde

To my subscribers : obviously this video is not about airsoft, but scuba diving, which is one of my other hobby (because yes, unlike popular belief, my whole life does not turn around airsoft only). I’m a CMAS ** diver (plongeur niveau II in french).

Therefore you may not be interested in this video, which is indeed very long and, I have to say, pretty boring. I guess. I like the video, it makes a nice souvenir to me, but I guess it’s a bit slow and long ^^

I’ve been diving in Cape Verde during the first half of september. Cape Verde is an island country, spanning an archipelago of 10 islands located in the central Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometres off the coast of Western Africa (thank you Wikipedia). On this particular dive, I was in Santa Maria, the major city of Sal, the island in the north east of Cape Verde.

There is 2 points for this video :

– To show a nice wreck dive in a nice dive spot in Cape Verde.

– To show the performances of an “out of the box” HD GoPro camera under water. I’m using nothing but the camera, the waterproof case and the head bang. I have not buy any other accessorie. The camera is placed on my front head, just on the top of my diving mask (you can see me putting off my mask at the end of the video).

As you can see the image is very blue, and a bit blurred. But honestly I’m very surprised, I think the image is really not that bad. The maximum depth of the diving was 38 meters.

I’m using the R4 mode in this video, which provides the largest and widest view. Which explains the black bars on the left and on the right of the video.

Where are some good vacation spots in Florida?

I’m planning out Spring Break! I want to go to an island with a resort on the beach. They keys sound nice but I don’t know much about them. This is a family vacation and scuba diving/snorkling is something we’d want to do. Also, swimming with dolphins is an activity we are looking forward to. Please list an island(or several) with a little information about it. Remember: The Florida Keys is something i want to look into. Thanks! <333

Florida is not an island.. but I do have some suggestions. I’ve been on 3 cruises, therefore to a LOT of different tropical islands. The VERY best island that I have come in contact with would have to be Grand Cayman, some of the best snorkeling in the world, and many dolphins to swim with. However, Dominican would be the best "family" oriented place to visit.
