Great Barrier Reef Day 1

[Marinebionerd]

Hey guys doing some fish and coral surveying with a company called Marine Discoveries in Australia. Check out some of the footage I got on my go pro. Apologies for the shaky footage I didn’t bring a stand or anything so I’m just holding the go pro with my hand lol. I’m going back on the reef tomorrow so I’ll try and update the thread then!

Check out my YouTube video here:

You did fine. The second video captured the colors of those massive tables, and the first video of the reef crest was awesome. That's a lot of water flow.

Thank you! It was very rough waters the second day so it was hard to stay in one place.

That was clearly apparent in the video and that's what gives it value.
People can see where the corals they buy actually come from and the conditions they are subjected to.

You can easily mess yourself up bad out there if you're not careful!

That color blue. I wish I could find this somewhere.

That was a beautiful Stag, probably my second favorite coral of the trip so far. This acro was electric and I mean ELECTRIC blue. Definitely my favorite!

Last day! The wind was 25-30 knots so it was very hard to swim, but I managed to get some decent clips.
