Snorkeling at Bain Boeuf - 'What's it Like?' My new Youtube channel!

As a very early Christmas present I recently acquired a GoPro Hero 7 black, a mighty little monster underwater camera. I love spending time snorkeling on the reefs around Mauritius and I am so excited to be able to show you what it looks like.

I decided to launch a Youtube Channel called What's it Like?
Here I will be posting videos of my favorite snorkeling spots as well as exploring what it's like at other interesting locations or tourist attractions.

My first video is of Bain Boeuf in the North of Mauritius. The fish are quite nosy here and if I set my camera down and swim away they come inspect it. At 5:26 you can hear a low gurgling sound. This is the clicking sound of the fish communicating. If you have the back of your head and neck under water you can hear it quite clearly and some fish definitely have more to say than others!

The video ends with me looking down at the camera and then filming upside down. I thought it was funny and left it in the edit. The camera screen is only one by one and a half inches so for the most part it's a bit of a blind shoot and downloading and viewing the files on the computer afterwards is like opening Christmas presents. You have a vague idea but you never really know what you're going to get :)

If you enjoyed the video click through to the channel, there are a couple more video's up already and I am aiming to upload a new one every week. Work is keeping me busy but weekends are for swimming and filming.

Cheers!

That looks like a lot of fun and great music to go with the film. I haven't been as active on steemit of late and I needed to come by and say hello to you and your wife. I hope her health situation is improving and she gets with a good team of doctors where you guys are now. Tell her I said "hello"please Lynton, and I wish you both all the best in life.
Until next time,

Hello Sult.
I haven't been on very much lately. My health is improving though.
I've just fired up Steepshot again so hopefully you'll see some more photos from me in the future :)
Almost Christmas!
All the best
Lizelle

Good to hear that your health is improving, wishing you a happy holiday season and I will try and look for some of your shots. I have been so busy lately I haven't looked at my feed in weeks on here and I hate to admit that, but it is true.

Thanks very much Sult, I do enjoy making the video's and the music is from the gopro website. I see Lizelle has updated you on her health. Thank you for your comment and greetings, I wish you all the best as well and a great holiday season. Bye for now, Lynton
