What settings do you use on your GoPro Camera. I can't seem to get decent video of fish. It won't focus.

@muddymc You are correct, the GoPro housing will always give a blur when used underwater. You need a flat lens housing. Please see my related videos comparing two different solutions: youtube.com/watch?v=j0ERjOMHbj­0 ..youtube.com/watch?v=e6snmkpo­5RM
