GoPro: DeepFlight Submersible - Searching for Whale Song

Shot 100% on the HERO3® camera from GoPro.com.
Renowned submersible designer Graham Hawkes and co-pilot Lee Behel go on a surreal adventure in the DeepFlight Super Falcon submersible. Using their hydrophones and their wits, our intrepid explorers cruise the underwater valleys of Hawaii in an attempt to capture a whale song. The DeepFlight Super Falcon submersible was designed, built and operated by Hawkes Ocean Technologies (deepflight.com).

Although our world is full of violence, we have these types of moments to show us how incredible it can be. Well done.

+J Jack yes, this types of moments that just can be enjoyed by rich people. Thanks to the capitalims system created by they. The problem is not just violence. Is justice too!

Dajilus they have no sense of personal responsibility, it’s easier to complain than to actually do something

[@judgementhall4216]

@@seudotrofio typical communist. Fyi communism led to over 300 million deaths so can argue more throught the 20th and 21st century. However, capitalism defeated slavery, nazis, built modern infrastructure, modern trade, modern medicine, internet, and that same cell phone you have to complain about. Remeber their is nothing new underneath the sun, all who live here will feel pain, loss, defeat, ridicule and etc... no one is immune from death or judgement. Live free or die!

The whole deep flight project is amazing when you think about it. A series of vehicles built not for the acquisition of wealth or for war but for the sole purpose of scientific gain. Pretty inspiring stuff.

Lets solve some of the problems we have on earth instead of pumping hundreds of billions into pointless manned space missions.

[@tobyman360]

***** Actually quite the opposite, talking bang for buck unmanned missions are so much more efficient for exploration, innovation and scientific discovery.

[@tobyman360]

+Wolffirezulu Yeah it's a sad truth, don't get me wrong I love the idea of maned space flight and it's the future, but at the moment with the current budget we can do better science without people.

But you need a deepflight

[@RaresEnache]

We've all seen the skydiving, skiing, motorcycle riding, etc., but we rarely see any vids that show off the camera's low-light capability. This is the best I've seen, plus the video production itself is beautiful.

[@Cybjon]

Funnily enough, the designer of these types of subs (the pilot in the clip, Graham Hawkes) is claustrophobic as well, which is why everything he designs always has those bloody great big acrylic domes to wrap around your head for 360 degree vision.

[@Eggy777]

That right there is one of the reasons that the internet is SO important. Thanks for putting up a video to allow us to share your experience.

[@MrAlvarez23]

That was crazy and awesome. I will love to do that with my son.

[@ZicajosProductions]

I wanted to hear some Whale song without the other music, but that's fine. Also, I had the biggest aha! moment towards the end of the video... I was moved, almost teared. Did you see what they did at the end? It was beautiful. They were being the whale, jumping out of the water. Truly, truly magnificent cinematography.

[@dr.kennethnoisewater3653]

This is so beautiful. They are taking a simple advert for a product and taking it to a whole new level. GoPro is transcending brand with this video, it is effectively known as more than just an expensive camera. It is now the Kleenex of digital cameras. And that's just fine by me.

[@Skrtbaow]

the number of GoPros on that sub is too damn high

Congrats you are a human.

[@ninadanae9484]

[@ThaFunkster100]

Your emotions have been manipulated by stirring music and slow motion shots, to get an emotional response that is completely innapropriate. If you just watched the raw footage without the music and slow mo, you would barely be touched at all. Its how clever marketing people and Hollywood work.

[@Chris-wq3pe]

you are wrong. because looking at whales and hearing their calls, that is moving in itself. your comments show that you are not receptive to the feeling of biophilia, a love of life, of being connected to life.

[@Ruslanick]

The teaser of GoPro 3 with divers was amazing too! This isn't so beautiful, but more fascinating.

For those asking about the final song, it's "Big Things" by Rhian Sheehan. It also sounds very much like Eluvium's "Prelude for Time Feelers". The latter is a far better song!
