You guys love Underwater Physics 🤪 🇺🇸 C

Waiting for the manta to jump out of the water 🥹🦋

🇺🇸 This was 2022 but even if it was so long ago, it still makes us wonder to look back 🥹 Bioluminescence is probably the closest thing to magic we’ve ever experienced ✨

Have you ever seen anything like this?

🇮🇹 Ci mancava solo la manta che salta dall’acqua 🥹🦋

Questo era nel 2022 ma anche se è passato tanto tempo, ripensarci ci fa ancora sognare 🥹 La bioluminescenza è probabilmente la cosa più simile alla magia vera che abbiamo mai sperimentato ✨

Hai mai visto una cosa simile?

Get the most out of your @insta360 camera 🤓

🇺🇸 These are the settings we use for 99% of our underwater shots.

The only time we’d use a different setting is if we were shooting a really dark scene, like at dawn or sunset underwater 🌚 In that case we would use 4k30 PureVideo for AcePro and 5.7k30 on X4. This will help them achieve better low light performance and get a cleaner image 😎

If you use the dive case (necessary for the X4, and for the AcePro if you go deeper than 10m / 30ft) the most basic yet most important thing you must do, is check that your housing is clean and your fog inserts are dry. Check these every time you put the camera in 📸

Save the video to apply it to your camera 🙌🏼

🇮🇹 Ottieni il massimo dalla tua telecamera @insta360 🤓

Queste sono le impostazioni che utilizziamo per il 99% dei nostri scatti subacquei.

L’unica situazione in cui utilizzeremmo settaggi diversi è se dovessimo riprendere una scena molto buia, come all’alba o al tramonto sott’acqua 🌚. In quel caso utilizzeremmo 4k30 PureVideo per AcePro e 5.7k30 su X4. Questo aiuterà a ottenere prestazioni migliori in condizioni di scarsa luminositá, ottenendo un’immagine più pulita 😎

Se usi la custodia (necessaria per la X4, e per la AcePro se vuoi andare più profondo di 10m), ricordati che la cosa più basilare ma importante che devi fare è controllare che la lente sia pulita e che le strisce antiappannamento siano asciutte. Controllale ogni volta che inserisci la fotocamera 📸

Salva il video per ricordarti i dettagli 🙌🏼

It’s actually called a Beaver Tail 🦫

🇺🇸 Freediving wetsuits are probably the most COMFORTABLE wetsuits out there, no joke. They might look weird or funny (we think they do 😂) but they are really really amazing to wear. Totally feel like a second skin 🥰

The reason for the Beaver Tail is simply that a zipper on your back or front, or even on your chest like some surf wetsuits have, is actually rather stiff. When you freedive, you need full range of motion for all your limbs. Especially when you’re freediving without fins. Every little bit of stiffness on your wetsuit, is a little bit more energy needed to move and little bit more oxygen consumed on your dive.

There’s a whole world of information surrounding freediving wetsuits. Would you be interested in hearing more? We were thinking of doing a longer video about this 😍🙌🏼

PS. Before you ask, we swear by @bestdive_official wetsuits. Amazing quality and can also be perfectly tailored to you. Literally second skin 😉 Use code BG10 for 10% off 🙌🏼

🇮🇹 In realtà si chiama Coda di Castoro 🦫

Le mute da apnea sono probabilmente le mute più COMODE in assoluto, per davvero. Possono sembrare strane o buffe (effettivamente 😂) ma sono davvero fantastiche da indossare. Sembrano una seconda pelle 🥰

Il motivo per cui esiste la Coda di Castoro è semplicemente che una cerniera sulla schiena o sul davanti, o anche sul petto come alcune mute da surf, è in realtà piuttosto rigida. Quando fai apnea, hai bisogno di poter fare ampi movimenti con tutti gli arti. Soprattutto quando fai apnea senza pinne. Ogni piccola rigidità della tua muta richiede un po’ più di energia per muoverti e un po’ più di ossigeno che consumi durante l’immersione.

C’è un mondo intero di informazioni sulle mute da apnea. Ti piacerebbe saperne di più? Stavamo pensando di fare un video più lungo su questo argomento 😍🙌🏼

PS. Prima che ce lo chiedete, le nostre mute preferite sono di @bestdive_official. Qualità incredibile e fatte anche su misura. Letteralmente una seconda pelle 😉 Usa il codice BG10 per uno sconto del 10% 🙌🏼

Water was 2°C 🥶🧊 🇺🇸 This dive site $Water was 2°C 🥶🧊 🇺🇸 This dive site in Iceland is said to have the clearest water in the world, and it most definitely was true to it’s reputation! When we dove Silfra, it felt like flying 🪽 The transparency of the water was mind boggling, it made it harder to judge distances and depth. It made the light’s refraction in water look weird, bringing out super bright colours from the rocks and making the distance look the brightest of blues 🥹 It’s a pity the temperature is so insanely cold 😂 We stayed in their for over an hour, twice on two separate days, and it was so worth it. But our lips were totally numb, and it was an effort to keep our mouths sealed 😂 Not to mention our fingers and toes, that totally felt like they were coming off 😅 Would you dive in here? • 🇮🇹 L’acqua era a 2°C 🥶🧊 Si dice che questo sito di immersioni in Islanda abbia l’acqua più limpida del mondo, ed è stato decisamente fedele alla sua reputazione! Quando ci siamo immersi a Silfra, ci è sembrato di volare 🪽 La trasparenza dell’acqua era pazzesca, rendeva difficile valutare le distanze e la profondità. Rendeva strana la rifrazione della luce nell’acqua, facendo emergere colori super brillanti dalle rocce e rendendo tutto iper saturato 🥹 Peccato che la temperatura fosse così follemente fredda 😂 Siamo rimasti lì per più di un’ora, due volte in due giorni diversi, e ne è valsa la pena. Ma le nostre labbra erano completamente insensibili ora della fine, ed era difficile tenerle chiuse 😂 Per non parlare delle nostre dita delle mani e dei piedi che sembravano staccarsi 😅 Ti immergeresti qui? • #Iceland #Silfra #DivingIceland #Underwater #Freediver #Snorkeling #IceDiving$
