My big dive trip for the second half of the year was a visit to Browning Pass by way of Nanaimo. Our group headed up to Nanaimo for a weekend of diving before moving on to God's Pocket up in Browning Pass for another 5 days of diving. Nanaimo is always fun with the some major wrecks and great wall dives. I return every year to Browning Pass, constantly blown away by the amazing color and density of life.
O this trip I made my first attempt at shooting video. I put together a video rig consisting of a Sony CX550 HD video cam, a simple Ikelite housing, and a Nocturnal video light. It was a bit of a learning curve, but I was pretty happy with the results. Editing the clips and compiling a short video turned out to be pretty simple. It's a bit of a change coming from years of shooting stills, and I still have a lot to learn.
I had a bit of a leak after the first day in Browning Pass, which turned out to be user error. No damage was done however, but I switched to Photos for the rest of the trip. So most of my video is highlights from Nanaimo with just a few shots from Browning Pass.
Here is the trip video I put together with highlights of the trip.
