Jeff you are a man of many talents 👌

[@PolarProFilters]

Haha thanks, Ive been shooting underwater all the way back to the GoPro Hero HD days :)

Loved your tips. Just ordered a Gopro 12 with underwater housing. Do you use a light when you film on deeper dives? If so, specifics would be appreciated. From what i can gather, there are many cheap $30 leds, and then a big jump to $300 lights on trays. Anything in between? Thank you again for the great tips!

Yah anything under 50/60ft really will need a light, the more expensive, brighter ones will produce better results. It’s just up to you on budget

[@crixofficial]

do you recommend setting the profile to default or hdr?

[@PolarProFilters]

I always shoot default flat, but HDR will probably not require as much grading

If the the reef is 25 feet down and I snorkel down to 12 feet what filter do I use

[@PolarProFilters]

The red filter is what I would use. But you do really need to get down to within 4-5 feet of the reef to get the cameras white balance to lock onto it. If you are 10 feet above it the camera may just lock onto the color of the water and you still get too blue of colors.
