    Hey guys. I've been getting back into a bit more snorkelling, and finally back into a scuba dive after a four year hiatus! Been taking my GoPro out with me so thought I'd start a thread for anyone else whose interested to share pics/vids or tips for a great spot.

    Here's a wee vid I made of highlights from about 80 minutes of diving under around the pylons under the Kwinana Grain Terminal, near Rockingham south of Perth. Heaps to see, and just walk in off the shore to maximum depth about 5m.

    Make sure to watch in HD!


    I put my GoPro on my MTB handlebar mount, and clamped that to the end of an old seat post. The curved seat mounting end made a nice handle, and has a hole in it for an easy teather point.

    My aunt takes amazing underwater macro shots of marine life, it was cool to see what goes on on the other side of her camera.

    Here's another vid I made, this time from Exmouth Navy Pier mid March.
    This dive spot was epic, and apparently ranked amongst the top 10 best spots in the world.



    This was the second of two dives. I'm still working on an edit for the first dive.

    Wow, awesome vid Koastr. I'm jealous, been years since I've done any diving... Too many years :(
    Some of those fish were massive, so many different species too, cool.

    Nice vids Koastr.

    I ain't too good at this technical stuff, but here is a short video of the reef at Duck Island in Noumea that I took with my gopro last year.

    Apologies to anyone offended by that lol.

    That place is called the Mele Cascades waterfall and I can highly recommend it for anyone going to Vanuatu.

    Here is a video of me in a pool near the top, getting my shower for the week:
