To my subscribers : obviously this video is not about airsoft, but scuba diving, which is one of my other hobby (because yes, unlike popular belief, my whole life does not turn around airsoft only). I'm a CMAS ** diver (plongeur niveau II in french).

Therefore you may not be interested in this video, which is indeed very long and, I have to say, pretty boring. I guess. I like the video, it makes a nice souvenir to me, but I guess it's a bit slow and long ^^

I've been diving in Cape Verde during the first half of september. Cape Verde is an island country, spanning an archipelago of 10 islands located in the central Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometres off the coast of Western Africa (thank you Wikipedia). On this particular dive, I was in Santa Maria, the major city of Sal, the island in the north east of Cape Verde.

There is 2 points for this video :

- To show a nice wreck dive in a nice dive spot in Cape Verde.

- To show the performances of an "out of the box" HD GoPro camera under water. I'm using nothing but the camera, the waterproof case and the head bang. I have not buy any other accessorie. The camera is placed on my front head, just on the top of my diving mask (you can see me putting off my mask at the end of the video).

As you can see the image is very blue, and a bit blurred. But honestly I'm very surprised, I think the image is really not that bad. The maximum depth of the diving was 38 meters.

I'm using the R4 mode in this video, which provides the largest and widest view. Which explains the black bars on the left and on the right of the video.

  • @snakedoctor07 In reality sharks are really only dangerous for surfers, because sharks think they're turtles.

  • @OnCameraWeirdos I forgot them in France, actually.

    I think you should get a drysuit to make your dives more comfortable if it's cold, and then you can also dive in the winter! It will also improve your time at the bottom, since your body wont need to get you as warm as before.

    Keep making videos, and have fun.

  • I actually find this very calming. Kinda wish the bubbles were more quiet but an awesome video

  • put it in full screen and feel like ur underwater :D

  • so did u have to buy anything special to go under that deep or does any gopro out of the box can go under like that

  • AAAAABLUBLUBLUBLUBLUBLUBLUBLUB­

  • That video was amazing I am a 13 year old certified scuba diver and this video helped a lot. I just got a go pro hero 2 camera for Christmas and wanted to see the clarity of it before I got in the water. You should probably slow your breathing down just a little. Anyway awesome video. I will be posting some scuba videos on my channel soon so check them out.

  • Absolutly AMAZING!!!!!!

  • is that a warship or a u-boat?
