I got a new dive housing for my GoPro camera and tried it out today at North Beach, Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
Nothing too spectacular, but I'm pretty impressed at how well it captures underwater footage for such a small camera.
I haven't found one of the little extension handles that some folks use for sale, so I rigged one using half of a swiffer handle, a spatula, and a small GoPro clip.

The unedited video has great resolution but I had to compress it hard to get it to fit in vimeo's free guidelines. So, sorry it's not quite as sharp as it should be.
Looks great! How deep did you get?
I rented a waterproof camera housing for my digital cam when I went diving in Thailand last Feb but the thing didn't fit well and I ended up getting a lot of flash off of the case.
I was thinking of ordering one of these. Ever tried one?

I'm shocked to learn that there is another human being outside of Japan besides myself who actually owns that game!
Great video looks like alot of fun.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I also own the sequel.
That looks like a ton of fun, Toonces.
Thanks for sharing!
