'Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.' - Hunter S. Thompson

That's exactly what happens to me every time I come close to the Ocean.

A few days ago I bought a GoPro Hero 5 in order to shoot my surfing sessions. Since there are no waves coming in currently, I decided to test my new toy snorkeling. 

I'm excited to share my first edited unterwater video with you today. 

A Magical Place

If you've ever been snorkeling or even Scuba diving you'll know what I mean. 

Getting down there is like entering another world - a silent and magical world where time doesn't matter.

Whenever I put my head under water I completely forget about everything that is happening on the surface. In my short clip - which is actually the very first video I've been editing since University - I want to transmit that feeling of melting away. 

Underwater Love (1:29 min video) 

 

Transcription / Translation:

"As you can see there are no waves today. That's why I have created a little altnernative program for water addicts. Let's find out if we can see anything down there. Let's go!" 

These moments give me the creeps. 

The next time I will choose a spot with a more interesting underwater life so that you can watch more than only one fish :) 

This clip was edited with GoPro Studio, a free software that can be downloaded on the internet. You need a more or less fast computer to fully enjoy the process.

Before starting to use the program you might watch some tutorial videos. However it's quite intuitive. 

I hope you enjoyed my little experiment.
There will be more clips to come soon, so: stay tuned! :)
