- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- My last day of diving on the Cozumel reefs on our month long visit. Nov 12 to Dec 12 , 2012. The first reef is called Caracolillo and the second is Cedral. I was diving with one of my favourite dive company's " Dive with Martin"www.divewithmar... After over 250 dives with this company I can not recommend them more highly. Everyone from the dive masters, Captains, equipment managers and front desk staff are like family to me.
Thank you Orlando for making this dive one of the best of the trip. Also I had a chance to meet once again one of my favourite dive buddies and her husband. I also meet some new dive buddies.
I filmed this with the GoPro Hero2 in 1080p 30fps 16:9 wide aspect ratio. I used the flat lens housing from GoPro. Also at times used 2x Sola 2000's and a Backscatter magic flip filter www.backscatter... with the Snake River Prototyping tray and lockline arms. snakeriverproto...
I could have done a bit more editing but i think this video would be great while having a coffee and checking you email in the morning. Or even better on your 50" HD flat panel TV.

** adding this product to what I like to use as extension pole for GoPro www.gopole.com/... and edit the title from "Word" to " World", lol. Dec/18/2013.

Thank you all who have left a comment. You are helping me get more and more views by leaving your comments :).
Mike Gerrie ok
My first and only time diving (single tank) was in Cozumel. The experience was like heaven under water. Great video! Thank you.
It is like heaven, thank you for your comment!
I dove with Martin many times in Cozumel around 15 years ago and never had a bad dive with him. Glad to hear that they are still going strong. I purchased the dive housing for the Hero2 and tried using it in Barbados last week. To my dismay, the latch popped open one minute into my time in the water and the camera no longer works since salt water got into it. I am now debating on the Hero3+ Black or waiting a few months til the Hero4 is released.
Great video and I cannot wait to dive with my replacement camera after watching this video.
Thanks so much. GoPro is pretty good about giving a discount coupon on your next GoPro if you flood yours. I would email them and see if they can help.
To anyone considering a dive, just do it. I logged about 5,000 hrs. over 17 yrs. diving from West Palm Beach to Key West, and it never got boring. When you dive open water like this you never know what you may see. And you'll never run out of stories to tell your friends!
THANK YOU for the AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL footage. The music and video are OUTSTANDING! SO GREATLY ENJOYED every second of it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING.
You're very welcome, I often have my coffee to this video and enjoy the music as well!
awesome. i've visited Cozumel twice, the first time in '89, and it's by far my favorite place to dive. this brings back lots of good memories. i'm hoping to go back one day soon with my son.
Cancun always allow a nice dive. The warm and crystalline water is amazing.
I got to the Cancun area in the summer to snorkle with whale sharks and manta rays!!
Cheers Mike... i've witness this beauty first hand and i am always amazed at how peaceful the experience can make you feel.
Really enjoyed the footage swimming along side the turtle. Well done.
The first song made me think of Ocean's 13 immediately!!
That's beautiful. This is #1 of the things i want to do and can't wait for next year, God willing. Thanks for sharing your experience.
You are welcome, maybe I will run into you next year. Make sure to book with Dive With Martin and ask for Mike. I might just be around. Remember everyone if you can breath then you can scuba dive. It takes no great skill and you don't need to be a athlete to do it. Even if you have never done scuba you can take a special introductory dive in shallow water with lots of wildlife to see. Then if you want you can get your certification right away :)
Deep dive, deep colors and deep adventures. Very nice video.
Thank you ebazyli :)
I was in cozumel diving is the best experience in my life the water is so clear and transparent incredible.
I know right!! It is amazing!
Thank you for posting this! Very pretty. The water in Cozumel is truly amazing.
We film soulful city walk through's with a gopro, so it's good to see someone filming underwater with it successfully, as we haven't tried this this yet. Thank you I've subscribed and look forward to more.
Thats great I will check out your channel!
Just learning to dive at the ripe old age of 51 (wish i'd done it years ago) and cozumel is definitely on my to do list probably in 2018. Got trips to greece and cuba first and hoping to get enough experience to do my advanced in mexico. Absolutely stunning film. Thanks
My first dive was with Martin too. They were awesome!
Wow. Can't wait to see this in person. We have a carribean cruise booked and I'm signed up on a two tank scuba exclusion. Our first cruise took us to Cozumel and hands down this location has the most to see when you snorkel. I'm slowly getting the fam to try scuba diving. I actually got them booked on a casta maya discover scuba while we are down there. Just couldn't sacrifice roatan or Cozumel two tanks. :) I'd love to get them certified for a week long Cozumel trip. Baby steps though since one is paranoid after a snuba exclusion regulator that breathed hard for them.
The most beautiful garden I have ever seen !!!
About to go on my first dive trip in Cozumel and loving ur video! Music is great by the way!
Thank you Mimi :)
Cozumel is so awesome!! Yes it's drift diving but not normally in a fast currant. Palancar deep has a short through cave that's cool. Lots of eels and lobster that will make you look for butter!! But!! Also barracuda!!! There is a awesome dive shop in the barracuda hotel. Very affordable. The best dive masters!!! I MISS MEXICO,!!
Love your Video!! How I love the ocean such a beautiful place!! Cant wait till we go back to Cozumel JUNE 16 2014 !!
Dang I will just miss you I am leaving at the start of June.
Thanks Mike... enjoyed your video. The best places that I have found are Ningaloo Reef off Exmouth West Australia and Vanuatu. They have everything from Whale sharks to dugongs and colourful reefs seaming with fish. I enjoyed my underway experiences in Mexico and Belize.
Oh boy, Then that is on the bucket list for sure!!!! Thanks for the comment :)
Beautiful and nice video!
Looking to get back to Cozumel soon. It’s world class. Nice video
Thanks hope you enjoy your stay!
Love the turtles -! Great shots :)
Thank you tampamichelle. Possible I dove with you in Playa Del Carmen?
this place is defintely on my bucket list!
Great video, thumbs up from us and cheers from sunny IGY Simpson Bay Marina, Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Oh boy would love to dive St. Maarten one day!!!
Cozumel is wonderful! I miss it very much!
This is a beautiful part of the world and your video is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome !! Thank you for the comment!

Very nice...I just got back from Cozumel. I need to get one of those video cams for my dives. Thanks for uploading your video.
Thanks for the comment Richard :)
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video 💖👍👍👍
Thank you!
so much life! soo peaceful! I love my Mexico.
You have a amazing beautiful country !
I went to Cozumel on a cruise last year. Amazing and beautiful.
Great Video, I hope to dive there some time.
Would be great to have you :)
Yes a great dive, however GBR Australia has the most awesome reef and wild life I've ever seen. I've dove the world for the most part. If you have not been that would be your best dives ever. Dive with Tusa T6
Thank you, I would love to dive the Great Barrier Reef someday and thanks for the shout out to Tusa T6 i will check them out!
Hey mike! You met my dad Kirk on the dive with Martin boat! Really impressive work on here, your videos are what made me get a go pro.
LexiLouxoxo Haha, yeah I remember your Dad, great guy. Thanks for the Compliment and enjoy the GoPro!
Awesome video!
great video.. peaceful stuff. thank you
You're welcome :)
Kimberly, the camera tray I use is from Snake River Prototyping and can double as a tripod on sandy bottom if the current is not strong. I do on occasion use a post production stabilization on certain shots to reduce shake but once i am back in the water for a day or two and I sort my buoyancy out. My videos come out with a lot less shake. There is definitely a learning curve though , you should see some of my earlier stuff lol.
Been over 10 years since we dove Cozumel, my daughter was 3, she is 13 and just got her certification. We are going soon!
oh wow, I'm so jealous when I see just how young some are when they first get certified. Some many years of experience ahead of them!!!
Great video, well edited and perfect music. Go to the Red Sea, you won't regret it. Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you Mauro, I can not wait to try the Red Sea, I have heard so many amazing things about it!
great video indeed... and it match perfectly with the music... looking at your video just make me wanna go dive there..
Like your video, you went to one of the fanciest beach, Quintana Roo, México. You'e a thorough camera diver.
beautiful. i myself have advanced open water certification. only done a couple of dives in the canarie islands though. this look totaly beautiful.
Dark Silver I would love to dive the Canary Islands someday :)
excellent video! you've moved mexico to the top of my dive list
Great video, especially the first sequence of following the tortoise. (6:34) Looks like quite the variety of life down there. Can't wait to use the same camera for something like that.
tortoises live on land. Turtles live in fresh water but sunbathe on rocks or logs regularly. Sea turtles live their entire lives in the Ocean with the exception of crossing the beach after hatching or beaching to lay eggs.
december 11th 2012, the day before the world was supposed to end. good thing you did what you loved the that day
I dived the same year at the same place, best place ever
Agreed !
I am going scuba diving there next week from the carnival cruise! I am super excited but slightly nervous because I've never gone scuba diving in the ocean only springs!
You'll love it, open water diving in the Gulf of Mexico is the best.
brittney r I missed the message. Did you go diving. The Dive with Martin scuba shop is right at the Carnival Docks :)
Wow it's a beautiful place
Hello Mr Mike Gerrie, your is video so fantastic.
Thanks so much!!!
Excellent video... thank you so much for sharing :-)
Love that island... Great music along with the footage!!
excelente video ! Me encantaría bucear allí. He nadado en Cancún y vimos muchos peces y algunas barracudas .
hi from russian divers! thanks for the wonderful video!
Hello, Your're very welcome. Love to visit Russia one day!
@@gearbow I used to go diving in Playa del Carman! It was awesome !!! See you underwater on diving !!! All the best!!! Thanks again for the wonderful video !!!
Thanks for sharing this is so beautiful
I live right across cozumel, Playa Del Carmen. The beaches there are very nice there to.
Simply amazing. for real.
Mike, Nice job post processing all your footage and adding the music. I dive the Playa del carmen / Cozumel area a few times a year and never get tired of it. It is a beautiful, accessible and affordable place to dive. A few questions for us wanna be underwater photographers. Can you tell us what type of lights you used? How many? Is the footage we are seeing actual speed, or did you slow it down a bit for more impact? Keep up the good work and dive safe.
Great news! You were right. I didn't need to be PADI Scuba certified if I'm only snorkeling and feeding some stingrays in Grand Cayman. The receptionist from Shore Excursions Group said so herself. So I am 100% good to go.
Nice, I really would like to see those stingrays in Grand Cayman one day!!
Amazing! I have to do this before I die.
Yes you do!
Фантастика!
Awesome video I’m in love haha
I know right!!!
Wow what a great video!!!
It's amazing!
Thank you, it is such a wonderful place.
I've only been to Cozumel for one day, but I would,d love to stay their about two weeks. Roatan is the also a wonderful place to snorkel at Little French Kay.
Thank you, my first love was snorkeling and I just recently got my freedive certification. Would love to snorkel Roatan. maybe this year!
COZUMEL...!!! AMAZING...!!!
you all probably dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Quincy Kristian Instablaster :)
Going to be diving here in March. I'm so excited!!!
Hayley Marie Smith Just missed you I arrived in April, hope you enjoyed yourself!
Mike Gerrie It was beautiful! Great drift diving.
I realize this video is five years old, but I just discovered it and for the benefit of any newcomers like me I'd like to post a suggestion on underwater videography/photography: with the exception of deep down in some of the crags and crevices, there's plenty of light at the depth and location where you're diving so you don't need an artificial light...and in fact you can see how the light often causes some of the highlights to "blow out." You can also see, though, by the weird skin tone of the diver, that SOMETHING is needed to fix the color. The answer is a magenta filter over the lens; that will absorb some of the yellow and cyan light, allowing more of the magentas and reds to show, thus making up for the red light absorbed by the water. HTH.
Yes your right there are a lot of different techniques to get a great image. Lights are definitely needed below 30 ft especially with the small sensor of the Gopro Hero 3 and yes i blew out some highlights at times and should not have used the lights. I now have a Panasonic GH5 and now sell my footage.
Im 11 and i have been to cozumel/playa 13 times!
Marc De Smet the camera is on a tray that I hold and the lights are on a arm on each side that I can bend a swivel in any direction.
Nice video! The last time I was in Cozumel the reefs' looked pretty beat down. Check out the Bahammas on a Black Beard's cruise.
The reefs are almost completely back to their previous splendor from the Hurricane in 2005. I would love to do a Black Beard Cruise! Going to Bahamas in January to dive with the tigers and lemons of Tiger Beach!
Thank you for sharing, we've just filmed a long natural sight and sound gopro walk through the town and beach which may be interesting for people looking for a snorkeling beach. Hope it's helpful? We enjoyed watching your underwater footage and have subscribed.
Hey, Congratulations, awesome work.
Amazing video and even more amazing place :)) so excited to go here next year! Do you have any suggestions of where to stay, best beaches, and best things to do there? Thanks!
Cool video!
Thanks man!
Very nice video. Beautiful colors. I guess because you use lights. Correct? What lights do you use? How do you ensure they point same way as camera? Is camera mounted on your head?
Nice video !
Just Amazing!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for the video, I hope to get certified in diving so I can do these things too!
I hope you did it!!!
Beautiful!
Very cool video. I have a request - in the future can you add a little text to the reefs where this was taken? We dive in Cozumel annually, and it will be nice know where this was taken. Strange how I feel I recognize the marine life.
excellent advice!
best place to dive!!!
Sure is!
very nice clip
BUCKET LIST ~THIS WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME
I hope you got a chance!!
I like the fish with a mermaid looking tail (the bone tail is longer), this’s also why we need to save are ocean, no more beauty if we don’t do something.. I also like that fish with a flat belly... I’ve never seen a flat belly fish.
I know right. We definitely need to work to protect these beautiful reefs !
+Mike Gerrie Why don't you use a filter? It improves the colors... Look for SWCY, CY and GR filters.
Hi Mike! Excellent video! Did you use any colour correction while editing? Because the colours and saturarion look amazing!
No colour editing just lights and filter. They are in the description.
Barrier reef is the best diving in the world👍
Awesome, I hope to visit there one day!!!
