Yer you will see soon as you actually hold one they are damn simple devices (thats one of their perks). I really do need to get my hands on one of the dive housing, the standard waterproof ones it comes with causes some horrible blurring underwater due to the curved lens :(

Pretty impressed with the GoPro. Watch it in HD tbh. Surprised how much was down there!

Yeah there's loads down there, surprised with quite how many fish, the crabs and shrimp am not too suprised at they get everywhere.

You nearly caught yourself a crab though!

I was surprised at how few crabs were around compared to previous trips. Either it was due to being near the end of the day and the crabs had already been well fed, or maybe with the wet weather we've had this summer there's been a lot of run off into the harbour resulting in more food for the crabs anyway so they weren't as interested.

I'll have to go down early one day and try it with the same bait from that first trip I think, just to see...

Well no shortage of crabs in Poole harbour. We sent a student out on a boat to test out the "industrial" crabcam frame we've had engineered for a test run. This is the first of about 6 or so videos that I'm in the process of sorting through. We only have 1 frame at current, but attached 3 cameras to it to give multiple angles. The video processing at the moment is pretty cool, a seagrass bed with Pollack swimming above, a territorial blenny, a wondering crab and lots of small fish (no idea what they are). My video editing skills are coming along (IE, not as bad as they were at the start, but still pretty terrible). The latest videos have slightly better cutting between cameras!
