Descent (handheld cam) - Gopro HD scuba cam test at Indoor Tauchsport Zentrum in Oberding, Germany

Gopro HD camera was kept in front of the diver at arms lenght by one hand. The objective was to test how the camera focuses on a close object (arms length = 60 cm) in back light when moving. This is a raw footage, taken in an indoor pool at depths of 0-4 meters. There was fluorescent indoor lighting. The GoPro HD camera was in a 720p 30fps mode, but it appears that a 960p 30 fps mode with more vertical picture would be better for diving (traditional 4:3 screen aspect ratio instead of 16:9 HD ratio).

The pool looks pretty cool, was the hood really necessary though? What temp was the water?
