Title: Catching Blue Crab - Underwater Cam!
Post by: lazerbacon on September 24, 2012, 03:11:43 PM: Finally got some decent footage after many different depth and lighting tests. I shortened the video down a lot as well. I think I had about 10 minutes of just the crab attacking the camera.

I know right. I was stressing big time in the first 10 minutes. I could see the whole setup since it was only in a foot of water. The crab was lunge attacking all side of the camera before he even came into view. No damage was done to the GoPro atleast.

I am gonna make some sort of protective cover for the lens out of plexiglass glass though. Just to UN-settling with how aggressive they are.
