Hi,
I finally cracked the upload file limit problem. I can now upload large video files to the blog. Rather than go back and update the Fiji dive posts I thought I would just put the 3 special videos here in a single post. If you click the little symbol in the lower right hand corner of the video player you’ll get a full screen version of the video.
This is the dive site called “Wheat Fields”. As I said in the original post once I got the video posted you would understand how the site got it’s name. The entire top of the coral head is covered in these golden colored sea anemone. In the current they look like a field of wheat blowing in the wind. Very cool!
Our last day of diving we did two of my all time favorite dives. A great way to end our Fiji week. We did both of these dives last year and I had written in my log book how much I’d liked them. Above is the dive called “Mellow Yellow”. We are approaching the coral head and LOOK AT ALL THE FISH! Awesome!
And our last dive in Fiji was “Purple Haze”. The different corals on this dive are quite amazing. Note the little fish that darts out at me to defend its patch of coral. And at the end of the video is my dive buddy Barb.
I’m sorry it took me so long to get these videos posted but between slow internet access and dealing with the upload limit of this blog software it took a little effort. But I cracked the code.
Enjoy, we did. 🙂

Love the videos Spencer. Did you use a filter on your GoPro to get the colors to be more vivid? Still learning to use my GoPro under water.
Hey Greg,
Glad you liked the videos. Yes I did use a red filter on the GoPro to get the color. I have a Xcsource filter. It allows you to mount up two filters which can be flipped on or off the lens so as your water depth changes you can increase the redness of the filter. I really like it and saw several others with the same brand.
Hope all is well back home.

Greg,
I gave you bad info. The filter system I used on the GoPro is from Backscatter and is model Flip 3.1. Here’s an amazon link to the item.

Hi’
Will take the computer to mom this weekend when we see her. Sue took her to get her hair cut yesterday and asked her how she liked your letter and she could not remember she had gotten a letter. She told Sue she should get rid of all the stuff she had in her closet. We may just have to take everything and store it here so she doesn’t give it away. Not sure if I told you but she gave away the locket away with Wendy’s picture away to Maryann Twist. I went to someone most deserving but we may need to look at things.
Have fun’

Pictures look great and the video is great. I see many of these corals every day in my reef tank. The pink and yellow fish surrounding the reef are Anthias. They come in a number of colors. If you go on line you will be able to see them.

Don’t be sorry – they were worth the small wait! Beautiful videos for sure. I think my favorite part was actually the sounds – how I miss that!
