Diving Today!
I'm sitting at the boat ramp on Merritt's Mill pond waiting for my buddy. It's 38° F, and raining. Headed for Hole in the Wall. It doesn't get any better! Woo hoo!!!!

We look forward to the video.
No video this trip. We were diving an unfamiliar section of the cave, actually brand new to us. I don't like to film in unfamiliar cave. Tonight was just an initial foray. Next week, we'll take stages and really explore it. After 2 or 3 dives, I'll take the GoPro. No reason other than I like the increased comfort level that familiarity gives me before I task load. I carry my camera on a tray and that takes a lot of concentration for me.

Most of my video is shot in unfamiliar (i.e. virgin) caveOriginally Posted by Captain Bil
I carry my camera on my helmet, and it takes very little concentration.
I've tried the head mounted thing and don't like it for me. I end up with a lot of camera movement. One friend even remarked that he can get a little motion sick watching video shot that way. I don't think I jerk around that much, but hand carried yields better results for me. That and I am always in a state of extra awe when in new cave, I'm just having a hoot looking around! My buddy and I were both whooping it up last night, I could here his "woo hoos", even on OC!

It is mostly because that may be the only time anyone goes in some of the places I have on video. I do agree about the movement problem, though.
