Rottnest Island Western Australia | One day and 5 hours of Snorkelling | Gopro Hero 7

[@munter10]

I had a day there with my newly married bride back in '83, wow . . just an awesome day. Snorkeling at the many beautiful bays, traveling by bicycle and it was 38degC all day! I'll never forget that day, and now I'm 65 and thinking about going back there and reliving my memories Greetings from the South Island of New Zealand!

Rotto really has absolutely every possible marine environment just slung in together. Coral reef? Yep. Sea grass beds? Yep. Kelp forest? Yep. It really is an absolute gem, and Perth is so lucky to have it.

[@DangoesOz]

True that. So lucky and easily accessible

@@DangoesOz I don’t know if you said it in the video but where was it that you went snorkelling

[@DangoesOz]

@@IsuckAtFlightSimulatorsRN Salmon Bay, one of my fav's

[@exploreaustralia6577]

@@DangoesOz Yeah, keep exploring

[@jimclements3190]

Had a three week holiday there recently, stunning!!😎

[@DangoesOz]

Certainly is a fantastic place. Did you get some snorkelling in?

[@jimclements3190]

@@DangoesOz personally no,( poor swimmer) but my best mate Greg does, he lives and works on Rottnest 👍

[@fayleya3865]

I have a new appreciation for the skill it takes to get smooth, well framed underwater video. That was so well done.

[@DangoesOz]

Cheers. The new cameras make it a bit easier....

[@stemature2118]

ooh nice. im heading over to rottnest this weekend. how do you get such closeups of the fish?

[@DangoesOz]

Thank you. Enjoy Rotto. Close ups, never swim directly towards the fish, slow movements, and try to swim along the bottom....

[@stemature2118]

@@DangoesOz another quick question. did you use filters on your camera for this?

[@DangoesOz]

@@stemature2118 no filters as not swimming deep. Just use the gopro default settings. Film in 60f/second so footage can be slowed down.

[@kobyt]

Great footage! Just out of curiosity, was majority of this footage taken at Little Salmon Bay? Were those crays at Little Salmon?

[@DangoesOz]

Thanks... all from Little Salmon, crays included. Lots around there most of the time.
