These videos show RegMount doing what it was built for: recording the dive exactly as the diver saw it. Every clip is shot from the regulator second stage, so the camera points where the diver was looking. There are no exhaust bubbles drifting across the lens, and the diver’s hands were free for buoyancy, signals and everything else. Watch for the steady eye-level framing, the clean view ahead, and how naturally the footage follows each turn of the head.
What you’ll see
True POV
The footage follows your gaze. When you turn to look at a turtle, the camera turns with you, so you don’t get the sky-and-sand footage of a crooked head mount.
Clean frames
The camera sits in front of the exhaust, so your bubbles rise behind the lens instead of across it.
Hands-free action
The diver’s hands stay free for spearfishing, lights, buddy contact and buoyancy, while the camera keeps rolling.

Tips for filming like this
RegMount handles the angle, so most of what makes these clips work is good diving. A few habits make the biggest difference:
Nail your buoyancy and trim
POV footage shows every bounce. Stable, horizontal trim gives you smooth video and protects the reef. If your footage looks seasick, the fix is usually buoyancy rather than camera settings.
Move your head slowly
Your head is now the camera operator. Pan about half as fast as feels natural, and hold on a subject for 5–10 seconds before moving on. Editors love long, steady shots.
Get close, then closer
Water steals color and contrast with every foot of distance. Within a few feet of your subject, colors stay rich and details stay sharp. Never touch or chase marine life to get there.
Use the right settings and color tools
A good resolution and frame rate, a sensible white balance, and a red or magenta filter where it suits the water all add up. Start with our GoPro settings for scuba and our color correction guide.
Check the camera at a glance
Because the camera sits in your line of sight, glance at the recording light every few minutes, especially after a long pause or at the start of the dive.
Edit with a light touch
Trim hard, keep the best few seconds of each moment, and correct color in post. Our beginner editing workflow walks you through it.
