Your expertise is so appreciated. I am in overwhelm with my 1st Gopro (10 is what I'm starting with).

[robclitheroe]

Thanks so much for this video. I've just got a (second-hand), GP10 after using a Gp3 for many years. I've watched a number of tutorials on here as I want to maximise the cameras capabilities - and all those tutorials leave something wanting - but not yours. I love it. Your educational style suits me as you give all the important facts in a calm and detailed way without all the intense arm-waving and over-the-top speech-volume (shouting) of so many presenters on other channels.

I'm off to the Philippines and Chuuk lagoon next march and can't wait to put your tips and equipment recommendations into practice. Again, thank you so much. **subscribed**!

17:27 is so true, brought my go pro along during my open water and was just video taping everything because I was so excited. End up with more than an hour of footage that takes forever to load from cloud and still have not got around to editing it yet, its been almost 6 months

Also, set the White balance to "Native" since the lights are shifting very quickly underwater. And avoid using a physical red filter if the sun is in front of you, you will never be able to re-balance the colors 100%, if the sun is behind you, you will get stunning pictures with a red filter without additional artificial lightning.

dive video light does makes a lot of difference.

[LukasNiebel]

Great Video! It really covered all the most important things. I finally decided to retire my GoPro 5 and upgrade to the GoPro 10, really excited to see the difference. I'm also looking for a new Video light and was considering the Orca D910v but never heard of the Kraken Hydra 5000 before. Could you maybe share a quick comparison between the lights or give some pros and cons please?

[carolinejerke]

Thanks for sharing all tips!!!
What do you recommend at the beginning... shooting or filming?
I've just buy my first gopro (hero 10) and we just have the opportunity to stay underwater around 12 dives a year. Of course we want to save these moments. Thanks again!

[divingslotcarsmusicandstuf]

Very useful and clear video. Do you have any advice on using filters? I assume a filter is good for shooting a wide reef scene, but think for shooting a subject in the foreground I should switch to using a light and remove the filter?

[edivesoftware]

Hi....brilliant vid and many thanks - who makes the 'tray' you used....thanks

[EugeniaFrenzel]

Love all the recommendations! Thank you! Question, for your photo settings, you’re recommending having the Lens setting on Linear, which is only available for Standard Output. Do you typically use Standard? If I choose Raw, the Lens options default to Wide. Thanks!

[WeiseGuy]

Can you recommend a tripod to use underwater to film myself? Place the tripod on a platform, swim up to it, etc?

[bjoern.l]

Thanks for this great video! Which Color-Mode you recommend for diving if I dont want to do post-work: Natural or Vibrant?

[novatlizrz]

Cool tips. Thks. Anw what’s the color profile do you set for video? Flat too?
