I'm always fascinated with the sea and diving - so, when I'm on vacation on our beautiful cost I'm always underwater and this summer was no exception:) I filmed this video with my Canon PowerShoot A95 in camera mode, so every sequence was 30 seconds long - enough for one dive. Before the trip I have bought a small bag for underwater shooting called Aquapaq (only 30€!). In the beginning it was very hard to get still shots because I was diving on a breath and this camera didn't have steady shot option. At the end, after hours and hours of trying, I found the "right angle" and I was really satisfied with the results.
What is the most interesting about this material is the way people swim/move trough water. When you look them from the surface they look like they are really trying to swim/move, but when you look them underwater you see that they almost don't move or they move very little, just desperately slamming with their arms trough water. Despite that clumsiness or laziness, because of the water effect, they look very gracious, sometimes like underwater contemporary dancers.
My camera don't work any more (E18 error) and I don't know if this summer underwater adventure has something to do with this brake down but never the less it was worth a shot:)
