You dive often? What kind of camera are you using to get this footage?

My wife and I try and make a trip once a year to go dive and she really wants to video tape while we're down there. I've managed to get her to just take stills using cheap underwater cameras, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold her off for much longer.

I don't dive as often as I like, not great diving at home, cold mountain lakes with random steamboat wrecks to dive, pretty much just practice here and work on adv certs. Finished up my rescue diver cert this summer. I was lucky this year and dove the Bahama's in the spring and Dominican republic in oct. I have also dove in Cancun as well.

That was filmed with a GoPro Hero3 Black Edition @ 720p 120fps. You can ramp it up to 4kp15 for cinematic quality but battery life suffers. I use it for mountain biking, snowboarding, rock climbing, and all the other stupid stuff I do.

Your busa video made me nervous as shit when it started to rain. But it probably wasnt as bad as it looks since the video is sped up.

I also ride..... 2005 Yamaha R1 with a few mods (intake, exhaust, cams, tune and the other usual stuff). I don't dive though, I go the other way instead (up instead of down)

Yea I lost traction in a few corners but nothing bad. That whole run is nothing but 35mph sweepers. Avg speed for that run was around 65mph, on dry we push it to 80+. Video is 3x iirc...made that one quite awhile ago.

R1's are a nice ride, I rode with a group of guys with them when I had my Daytona 675.

By going up I assume you Climb? I actually rock climb as well but still fairly new to it...I think the most difficult I have finished was a 8.3
