Cave Diving in Mexico (4K)

I was lucky to get cave dive certified at Zero Gravity, one of the premiere training facilities in the world for cave diving. We did almost 20 cave dives post-class at Cenotes Taj Mahal, Carwash, Nahoch Na Chich, Otoch'Ha, and Mayan Blue. It's been some amazing training and dives I'll never forget.

The video was made with gratuitous slow motion and dramatic music, inspired by some SFX promo reels. Everything was filmed the week after class. Adobe Premiere CC was used for editing. Only one sequence edited for contrast (from :53 to :56) and the rest were as is with no color grading. The cameras used were the DJI Osmo Pocket for all above water shots and the GoPro Hero 7 Black for everything under the water in 4k 60FPS and a few 2.7k 30fps uprez'ed to 4k for the cenote Carwash footage. Most of the footage was running at 50%-80% speed since I didn't have to warp stabilize the shots, which is a first for me.

Special thanks to the diver buddies Nadia Lee (who also did some above water footage with the DJI while her suit was leaky), Martin Pieters, Rob Nellor, and my cave instructor Chris Le Maillot. They're all in the video.
