Hi All,
First use of the GoPro 3+ Last weekend. it was great to use and it kicked out some great video. Its taken me all week to figure out how to get it uploaded to U Tube, but I'm glad to say that its on there now follow this link Mikes U Tube Video. Due to Stormy weather I'm only getting to use the camera now. First use was in Preston Hill Quarry in Fife, which was nice enough. I am looking forward to trying the camera out on some big wrecks in great vis to see how it performs.
I hope you like the video feel free to give me some feedback.

2014 starts with dramatic but sad news as a very large Sperm Whale washes ashore at Eastfield Beach, Joppa (right off of the bus terminus). The whale looks to be around 9 metres long if i assume the sea kayak in my image is around 3 metres.
The Whale is being moved around a little by the tide but i do think that the animal is dead and i did not detect it breathing. Its a magnificent but sad site. Right now at the time of writing is high tide and the whale may be able to be floated off but i fear it will be stuck there for a while, when the tide drops. If you do plan to visit for a look wrap up warm as its freezing.

PS i did contact the coastguard and they had already informed British Marine life Rescue Divers
