Family Discover Scuba Dive Phuket Thailand

Finally on a family holiday to Thailand I got the whole family diving together. 10 year old and 14 year old kids doing try dives with Scubadeep Phuket. Trip was a 3 dive Discover Scuba Diving trip to the Rachai Islands, Thailand. Kids were looked after by Instructors Pepe and Johan while Mum and Dad tagged along in the background. Unfortunately this year there is a lot of coral bleaching but still had a great time.

This looks like it was an amazing trip! Beautiful underwater shots and edit Mister Elliot!

Thanks. It was great as it was the first time we had all dived together at once. It was basically my daughters first dives and my wife hadn't dived in 15 years. I also did my Instructors course in Phuket far to long ago to admit.

Awesome! That one neon colored fish doesn't even look real! Like a drawing. Amazing. Super crisp shots too! You were using the AOI lens on this one? Getting some superb quality out of the GoPro. Makes me wanna try scuba diving again! I'm certified but the costs have kept me away for a few years now. I also always had a bit of anxiety before I went haha. Such an amazing experience though I'm craving it again! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Actually this was a really basic setup. As it was a family holiday and we were only doing 1 day of diving all I took was the Gopro, a single tray and 1 light. There is no external lenses used. As it was clear and we were 12m or less plus I didn't use red filters it meant I could keep the iso from going to high which helps. Diving can add up cost wise. Luckily where I live you can often dive without dive shops. So if I go for a dive at home its very cheap as I just need the fuel to get there and to run my compressor to fill a tank. Of course Ill ignore the years of training and the cost of all my gear, compressor and boat and claim its cheap for me to dive :)

@@seanpe80 Haha! Those are all investments! Investments into mental health I say. Something that many people don't invest enough in. So I'm all for it! I need to get that feeling of being underwater for 45 minutes straight again it's unreal. Continue to be impressed by the quality you're getting out of the GoPro. I need to check my render settings again haha! Well our waters aren't nearly as clear, especially in the summer! A lot of what we like to call "whale snot" heh. Just being in the water is such a peaceful feeling though. Inspiring to consider that even shallow scuba dives can be great!

you should have them using SNUBA....

[@seanpe80]

Why? Isn't SNUBA limited to 20 ft?

[@MaximumDiver]

What was your filming gear setup for this? You had 2 spots or only one?

[@seanpe80]

Hi mate. As it was a family holiday I took a very basic setup. It was a gopro with a single handle and one light. I also only had one set of batteries for the light so it was running out in the end.
