1 Year Of Scuba Diving On Vancouver Island Highlights

[@catherinemelnyk]

Wow! I have to do this! I'm 68 years old and have lived on VI for 16 years now and this is DEFINITELY on my bucket list!

[@scubabc6701]

It was on my bucket list for many years and then finally one day I just decided I am going to do this.... One of the best things I've ever done! My wife and I went with Nanaimo Dive Outfitters for our open water course. Hope to see you out there one day!

Awesome VIdeo! Great shot of the octopus hunting and changing colour

[@scubabc6701]

Thanks Garrett, that Octo was a super cool experience, I have a few minutes of footage of that one. Crazy how instantaneous their color and texture changes!

[@scubabc6701]

Thank you Tom!

WOW! Great video! Steady hand, bright lights and awesome editing! Great inspiration for my next trips to Vancouver Island! Thank you for sharing that!

[@scubabc6701]

Thank you so much!

Awesome compilation! Amazing octo footage! You're lucky you saw so many sea lions this year! You are definitely making me want brighter video lights...

[@scubabc6701]

Thanks Max! We've been seeing Sea Lions pretty much every dive lately. Sadly one of my lights flooded a couple weeks ago and it's toast! New ones should be here any day and they're even brighter, lol.

[@scubamax]

@@scubabc6701 Awe! I'm sad I'm missing all the sea lion action! How does a light even get flooded? That's really crappy!

[@scubabc6701]

@@scubamax The O-ring had some damage and water got in. Sucked. Have fun in Florida, looking forward to the videos!

[@UnderwaterPhotoBali]

Very nice video.I did know there were so many critters and colors . Happy bubbles 👌 ps I'm not sure about the shot with the ursin

[@scubabc6701]

Thank you! Yes, it's beautiful here. When the visibility is good there is plenty of things to see! The urchins are just colorful and pretty plentiful at some sites.

After only one year of diving and you are producing this quality of video...very impressive! If a I may ask? what are you filming with?

[@scubabc6701]

Thank you! I am using a GoPro Hero 9 and 2 12,000 lumen lights.
