Salt can have a corrosive effect – and the last thing you’ll want is to have a damaged/weakened case or seal. Take care of your GoPro and your GoPro will take care of you! You should thoroughly rinse the housing in fresh water to remove any salt residue. Rinse the housing in fresh water after diving: Split images are half underwater and half surface shots Many Go Pros have been lost by divers who have removed their mask first and dislodged the head mount in the process! Note: If you are using a head mount, be sure to remove it before your mask at the end of the dive. If you aren’t going to mount the camera on your chest or head – we recommend using a camera rig (tray) or selfie stick. It can be hard to hold a GoPro steady due to its small size – and for people with large hands, it’s easy to capture your fingertips in the edges of the image.

To ensure that your video footage does you justice, here are some easy to implement tips which will ensure you take home videos and images which you can be proud of.
