Underwater video made with a GoPro Hero 3, shot while snorkeling underwater in Tenerife. The GoPro Hero 3 (I have the Black Edition) is an action camera you can use underwater, when using a protective case. It's a wonderful camera to bring on your snorkeling adventure! I caught many fish on film, while exploring the waters of Tenerife. I mainly used 30 FPS while filming my underwater snorkeling video. A few times I used 24 FPS when the water was really dark, and 48 FPS when there were no clouds on the day I was snorkeling, and there was a lot of sunshine. The video resolution settings I was working with were 1920x1080 pixels and 1280x960. This GoPro underwater video was shot both wide angle and normal angle. I wrapped the headstrap around my wrist while filming underwater, or just kept the GoPro Hero 3 in my hand. I didn't use the headstrap on my head this time, because I could get closer to the fish by just holding the GoPro camera it in my hand or wrapped around my wrist. Places where I shot this GoPro Hero 3 underwater video were Playa Del Duque, Playa de la Arena and El Puertito (the footage where you can see the divers). I actually saw water turtles while snorkeling in El Puertito, but while I was snorkeling underwater my battery suddenly died lol (even though it was fully charged). I really smacked my head that day haha, so I went back a second time, but without luck: no turtles that time. Luckily underwater turtles aren't the only awesome creatures Tenerife has to offer! I had an encounter with a bunch of happy fish that were either trying to kiss or attack me lol. I think the reflection of my camera was probably what draw them closer to me. The only annoying thing about that underwater video footage is the slight 'bokeh' in the scene. I had just switched batteries before filming that underwater scene, and probably didn't dry the protective case of my GoPro well, so tiny water droplets formed while snorkeling. However, I'm still glad about how this video turned out, considering it's my second GoPro Hero3 underwater video! I hope you will enjoy the footage.
