Hi there 🙂 I hope you will or did enjoy my first GoPro 8 snorkeling video 😊 Snorkeling in Egypt/Abu Dabbab was really a great experience and I loved to film underwater with the new GoPro HERO 8 Black. The quality of the GoPro 8 in 4k 60fps is absolutely brilliant and sometimes I'm really stoked about my own underwater footage. If you're interested in scuba diving while staying in Abu Dabbab, just check out this video 👉 th-cam.com/video/ylWOLNFH3JI/w-d-xo.html ▼
This is awesome and so beautiful! I haven't been snorkeling in over 25 years but I wish I could have done this with my own Hero 8 back then! I always wanted to visit Egypt for the pyramids but now I have another reason! I listened to the audio several times but I couldn't quite make out what the ropes near the beach protect you from...can you tell us in the comments?
Hi and thanks a lot 😊 You should really snorkel again, the underwater world is simply unique. Egypt has a lot to offer! I also have to visit the pyramids. And hey, you have a great camera to shoot everything. The GoPro 8 really does a fantastic job above and underwater.
Magnificent video, in every aspect. Technically - made with wonderfull equipment but the eyes of the camera were the eyes of a human who loves and respects the underwater. In last 7 years I made hundreds of films from Abu Dabbab but none of this quality. Thank you
Hi Ela and thanks a lot 😊! Well, first: I read a lot of comments to my videos here on TH-cam in the past 4 years and yours is definitely one of the nicest 😊 Thanks again for that! Snorkeling in Abu Dabbab was a blessing. I enjoined every second of it and fur sure I love the ocean and editing videos of it 😍 In the end only the memory counts, no matter how good or less good the videos are... 🙂
Hi, what an amazing video. I was there once in April and the visibility was quite poor for Egypt because of strong winter winds so even though it was beautiful, it was not half as amazing as what you captured here. I am finally coming back and I wonder what month was this captured?
Ach die Videos von dir sind einfach nur top, die Musik und die Bilder , stauenen und entspannen mehr kann man dazu nicht sagen. Hoffentlich kann ich nach diesem Corona mist auch mal nach Ägypten und in Abu Dabbab Schnorcheln gehen.
Vielen Dank 😊 Ich kann dir Ägypten und Abu Dabbab nur wärmstens empfehlen! Schnorcheln in Abu Dabbab war einfach der Hammer! Und jeden Tag Schildkröten 😍 Beste Grüße and dich und Danke für dein nettes Kommentar 👍😊
Jens :) Das VIDEO ist der OBERHAMMER. Die Musik mit den verschiedenen Szenen zu verbinden. ABSOLUT GEIL!!!! Natürlich ist das SCHÖNSTE meine GELIEBTE ♥ Schildi ♥. herrlich- als wäre ich dort ! ♥ Ich glaub ich muss mir auch so eine GoPro kaufen :( Die macht auf jeden Fall tolle Aufnahmen. Liebe Grüße Krissi von Facebook
Hi Krissi und vielen Dank 😊 Freut mich, dass dir das Video so gefällt🙂 Schnorcheln in Abu Dabbab, zwischen den ganzen Schildkröten, ist auch einfach der Hammer 😍 Absolut einer der besten Strände Ägyptens! Sei aber bitte nicht enttäuscht, wenn deine GoPro Aufnahmen dann nicht ganz so aussehen, das ist alles nachbearbeitet. Ich will es nur erwähnt haben 😉🙂 Danke für deinen netten Kommentar, liebe Grüße zurück und bis bald auf FB 😊
Wunderschönes Video von Abu Dabbab. 👍 Normalerweise wären wir im Juni für 4 Wochen dort um die neue Gopro Hero 8 und Sony RX 100 VA zu testen. Das zerreist uns fast das Herz bei so schönen Aufnahmen, denn wir kennen dort fast jeden Fisch und es ist verdammt schwer sich damit abzufinden, dass es dieses Jahr wohl nichts wird. Auf der anderen Seite wird es dem Meer gut tun, wenn es sich etwas erholen kann.
Vielen Dank Peter 😊 Abu Dabbab war echt ein Träumchen 😍 Ja, uns wurde die Entscheidung auch abgenommen dieses Jahr noch wegzufliegen aber ich sehe es ähnlich wie du : Alles kann sich erholen und wir dürfen es dann wieder genießen 🙂 Wow, die RX100 ist eine super Kamera! Filmst du auch mit dieser oder macht das dann die GoPro 8, oder mit beiden? Beste Grüße!
Hallo, die Gopro Hero 8 soll unsere Backup-Kamera werden und auch für Außenaufnahmen wollen wir sie verwenden. Im letzten Jahr ist mir die RX100 IV direkt am 2. Tag abgesoffen und dann steht man da plötzlich ohne Kamera. Weil wir beide begeistert filmen, macht es Sinn Ersatz zu haben, vor allem bei 4 Wochen. Die Hero 8 macht allerdings auch extrem gute Aufnahmen, so dass ich beide Kameras gerne verglichen hätte. Ich hatte letztes Jahr jedoch das große Glück, dass mir der Basenleiter seine Kamera geliehen hat. Ich freue mich auf weitere Videos von dir.👍
Oje, das ist echt mehr wie ärgerlich aber Glück gehabt mit dem netten Basenleiter! Ich habe auch immer 2-3 GoPro's mit dabei...nur für alle Fälle. Den Vergleich würde ich auch gerne sehen 🙂👍 Obwohl die GoPro bei Nahaufnahmen keine Chance gegen die RX hat. Die GoPro 8 ist meiner Meinung nach aber die bisher beste GoPro zum filmen Unterwasser. Ich bin in letzter Zeit immer wieder erstaunt was sich da so alles zwischen meinen Aufnahmen befindet 😊 Neue Videos werden kommen...es wird ein wenig dauern aber dann 😉🙂 Liebe Grüße und Danke für deinen Besuch bzw. das nette "Gespräch" 🙂
Starkes Video. Richtig gute Aufnahmen, gestochen scharf und gut gefilmt, vor allem die Schildkröte. Der Effekt bei dem Fischschwarm kam auch ganz cool. Cool wie du die verschieden Spots im "Intro" einblendet, ist gut gemacht. Sieht aus als wäre Abu Dabbab zum Schnorcheln mal ne Reise wert ( sobald es wieder geht). Habe jetzt auch ne GoPro Hero 8, Ägypten wäre ne guter Auftakt 😄 Daumen hoch, super Video
Vielen Dank Mister 😊 Freut mich, dass es dir gefällt. Ja, ich wollte den Videos mal etwas "Mehrwert" geben und auch mal zeigen wie der Schnorchel-Spot so von außen aussieht 🙂 Abu Dabbab ist auf jeden Fall ne Reise wert! Die Bucht ist sehr beliebt in Ägypten, nicht zuletzt wegen den vielen Schildkröten vor Ort 😍 Die GoPro 8 macht echt einen super Job Unterwasser, Glückwunsch zu deiner neuen Kamera! Danke für deinen Besuch und dein nettes Kommentar! Bis demnächst mal wieder 🤘
@@DiveDiscover Ja genau! So wurde mir es immer wieder beschrieben. Aber ich konnte es nie so wirklich glauben bis ichs dann selber erlebt habe! Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen!
Wunderschönes Video. Das macht Lust auf Me(e)r. Sind ab 10.09 im Malikia und würde auch gerne mit meiner GoPro 11 filmen. Hast du Tipps, wie ich die GoPro einstellen muss? Irgendwelche Filter die ich benutzen kann?
Thanks for your kind words Haswell! Much appreciated 😊 I always try to show the underwater world in an unique way. I had a look to your channel. Great content and delivery 👌 I can see your passion to travelling, filming and editing 👍👌 Warm regards and thanks for visit!
Thanks a lot Remi 😊 For this snorkeling video I did choose "wide" because "linear" wasn't available in 4k 60fps for the GoPro 8 (with the newer update, you can). I recommend to film in "linear" with the GoPro underwater.
Hi Mirsad and thanks a lot 😊 Yes, I did use a underwater housing for the GoPro 8. I always recommend to you use a housing for underwater, even more when it's salt water. You don't have to clean the GoPro afterwards and you're safe. For snorkeling you may not need the original one , so you can buy a cheaper one from the aftermarket.
Amazing shots! Did you prefer the north reef of Abu Dabbab or the south reef? I'm trying to decide whether to stay in the Hilton hotel near the north reef, or the Malikia hotel near the south reef. Or is it allowed/easy to access both reefs regardless of which hotel you stay in? Also - did you use any lights when recording this video? And during which month did you record the video? Thanks!
Hi, the video was recorded at the end of October and I didn't use any lights for this video. You almost only see parts of the northern reef (Hilton). You can also snorkel at Malakia without any problem. But there are long ways to go. The Abu Dabbab Bay is large. I only went snorkeling on the Hilton side. The Hilton is the better hotel. If you have children, Malakia might be more suitable for you. Hope that helps... Have a nice time!
Hi Adam and thanks a lot 😊 Congrats to your new GoPro 8! Such a great camera for underwater and for sure on land. It is not allowed in Egypt to bring a drone into the country or even to fly. You can apply for a permit, but I don't know anyone who got one. But hey, I had the beach tower 😆😅
Tolles Video! Wir planen eine Reise nach Ägypten und sind uns unsicher, welches Hotel das Beste Hausriff hat. Kannst du uns eins empfehlen? Liebe Grüße!:))
Hi und Dankeschön 😊 Das beste Hausriff in Ägypten? Keine Ahnung, ich habe bis jetzt auch erst 4 davon gesehen 😉 Auch ist das echt immer Geschmackssache. Abu Dabbab gilt als eines der besten Hausriffe Ägyptens. Und das gerade für Schnorchler. Ich fand die nördliche Makadi Bay aber auch sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Aufpassen solltet ihr bei Angeboten direkt in Hurghada. Hier soll vieles nicht mehr ganz so schön aussehen. Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual. Liebe Grüße zurück und einen schönen Urlaub wünsche ich euch 🙂
Amazing video. So Inpiring ! I hope i would go to this placer after lockdown and used my gopro 7 black to have same video. What do you think about additionnal red filter ? I use it to simplify post editing.
Hi Stéphane and thanks a lot 😊 I would never use a filter for the GoPro underwater again. Especially if you rework anyway. A filter swallows light, which is a big problem with the small sensor of a GoPro. This leads to immense loss of quality in the picture. I wish you can start your vacation soon and for sure awesome footage!
I didn't delete anything here 🙃🙂 With the new update of the GoPro 8 you're able to shoot in 4k 60fps linear! But this video was shot in "wide". The GoPro-update was not yet available at this time. Maybe the cinematic bars help a little here?! If you interested in more you are cordially invited to my Facebook-group for GoPro-underwater users: facebook.com/groups/2347204708888086
Hi and thank you 🙏😊 That's unfortunately not in the Makadi Bay. You see here the Abu Dabbab Bay nearby Marsa Alam. But it's possible to book day trips for Abu Dabbab. It's a long trip from the Makadi Bay. You must decide by your own if it's worth it...
Outstanding video! Im going to Marsa Alam Hilton Nubian Resort in two weeks! Can you tell what settings you are using on your gopro? I got gopro 9 so it's basically the same... Let me know! Thanks !
Thanks man! The Hilton is very fine, you will love it! Yes, for sure it's basically the same. I use the same underwater settings since the GoPro 4. Have a look for the last third of this video: th-cam.com/video/eQpCpl_7wyQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi, that's a shame. I met him exactly where it can be seen in the video. In the middle of the Abu Dabbab bay by the boats. I wish you good luck for the next time!
Hi and thanks a lot 🙏😊 Much appreciated. Check out this link to an unlisted video of my channel and just read the video description below the video 😉 th-cam.com/video/plo-RCwAahc/w-d-xo.html
Hello. I have a question. We are going on holiday near that place this week and are thinking of checking out Abu Dabbab. We will go with the child. How far from the beach are sea turtles found? And at how deep? thank you for answer :)
Hi, there ist no fixed place for the turtles. Sometimes they can be seen near the beginning of the bay (1-2m deep) or further out (5-10m). Maybe 10-100m from beach. Have fun in Abu Dabbab! Great place...
Hello, Thank you for this nice and interesting video of Abu dabbab snorkeling. Please do you use gopro color or "flat". I have also bought the goprohero8 blanck and I take some view of djibouti underwater with "flat" (my first and only use because of covid) and I find the color rendering very pale. Please, what are the selected modes?
Hi and thanks 🙂 Abu Dabbab was awesome 👌 Well, I select "flat" when I'm underwater with the GoPro. Did you do a color correction? You will find my whole standard GoPro underwater settings in my GoPro 7 vs 8 video (last third). I use these settings for scuba diving as well as for snorkeling.
@@DiveDiscover Yes I use color correction because all was white (correction threw color matching with my TG4 (powerdirector ). I will see your video. And, please what is the most beautiful and interesting abbu dabbab or makadi bay for avid snorkeler ?
@tsarabanjina That's sad to hear. I guess you did use some kind of auto-grading or preset from the software? I never use any software automatics, they're a mostly not very good. Abu Dabbab vs Makadi Bay? Really hard to say. Abu Dabbab offers you a great reef with special marine life and the chance to see the Dugong (didn't see it), many turtles and special rays. The Makadi Bay offers you more reef and you can snorkel with the current (long distances and much to see) just stop and walk back the beach...that's not possible in Abu Dabbab, you have to snorkel back. Can't decide for a winner, both are great 👌😊!
Hello, I'm thinking of going to Marsa Alam with my family including my 4 and 6 year old. Is Abu Dabbab snorkeing suitable for young children like mine? TIA
Hi, I would say yes. In Abu Dabbab the coral reef starts right up from the beach and the bay has always a very calm sea. But for snorkeling with kids I would consider about buying a snorkel vest for kids or anything like that. Just to have it mentioned 🙂
Hey there! Very nice video. What setting do you use for hypersmooth 2.0... on, high or boost? I did some underwater recording using hypersmooth 2.0 high and was not happy with results.
Hi Tony! Thank you 🙂 At that time, Hypersmooth was not available in conjunction with 4k/60fps. That came with the newer update for the Hero 8. So in this snorkel video I only filmed with standard Hypersmooth. I had tried it at 2.7K / 60fps on land and it was a disaster in darker areas. Seems like GoPro still has these problems. What resolution did you shoot in and what happend with your footage?
@@DiveDiscover I have some recent footage I shot using hypersmooth 2.0 high and it seems the primary object appears stationary for the most part, but surrounding objects move around quite a bit. I saw others using hypersmooth 2.0 On (not high) that looked much better so got some footage yesterday using that and will check it out.
Ah, understand. I think that was quite the same what happened to my land shots. Let me know about your results while using just "on"! I have no possibilities for checking this out...
I was in Malikia Resort (Next to coral reef in this video) 3× it was really nice. I recommend this place for everyone. Diving in there is beautiful. When I was there with my parents we went diving every morning at 5 am it was really nice. Clear water, turtles, beautiful corals. Every day we saw Moray eels. We should go there this year again but we don't know because of Coronavirus. We booked it for holidays in August. And maybe 2 months after Coronavirus pandemic started. Btw that trigger fish on thumbnail. It attacked my dad 2 years ago. :D So if you can visit this place Its paradise on earth. I recommend Malikia Resort coral in this video is a few meters from this hotel. Nice rooms, nice services, nice food. Everything was allright. :)
Hi, for the sure the Malikia Resort is also very nice 👍🙂 But you're right...diving or snorkeling in Abu Dabbab is just amazing. I loved every second of it 😍 The trigger fish can be dangerous...ask the local scuba diving center if their breeding at this time. They often know it 😉 I wish that you can take your vacation without hesitation. Heads up, there will be a time after the C-Virus...

Hello, I'm thinking of going to Marsa Alam with my family including my 4 and 6 year old. Is Abu Dabbab snorkeing suitable for young children like mine? TIA
Hi, I would say yes. In Abu Dabbab the coral reef starts right up from the beach and the bay has always a very calm sea. But for snorkeling with kids I would consider about buying a snorkel vest for kids or anything like that. Just to have it mentioned 🙂
Hey there! Very nice video. What setting do you use for hypersmooth 2.0... on, high or boost? I did some underwater recording using hypersmooth 2.0 high and was not happy with results.
Hi Tony! Thank you 🙂 At that time, Hypersmooth was not available in conjunction with 4k/60fps. That came with the newer update for the Hero 8. So in this snorkel video I only filmed with standard Hypersmooth. I had tried it at 2.7K / 60fps on land and it was a disaster in darker areas. Seems like GoPro still has these problems. What resolution did you shoot in and what happend with your footage?
@@DiveDiscover I have some recent footage I shot using hypersmooth 2.0 high and it seems the primary object appears stationary for the most part, but surrounding objects move around quite a bit. I saw others using hypersmooth 2.0 On (not high) that looked much better so got some footage yesterday using that and will check it out.
Ah, understand. I think that was quite the same what happened to my land shots. Let me know about your results while using just "on"! I have no possibilities for checking this out...
@@DiveDiscover so when you filmed in 4K you set hypersmooth to on ? How long can you record in 4k (i mean about battery)
@@OLO_Babolo The GoPro battery will last for a about an hour when you shoot in 4k/60 - Hypersmooth on but no "Boost".
What program did you use in post?
Hi, I use Magix Pro X for editing my gopro underwater videos.
I was in Malikia Resort (Next to coral reef in this video) 3× it was really nice. I recommend this place for everyone. Diving in there is beautiful. When I was there with my parents we went diving every morning at 5 am it was really nice. Clear water, turtles, beautiful corals. Every day we saw Moray eels. We should go there this year again but we don't know because of Coronavirus. We booked it for holidays in August. And maybe 2 months after Coronavirus pandemic started. Btw that trigger fish on thumbnail. It attacked my dad 2 years ago. :D So if you can visit this place Its paradise on earth. I recommend Malikia Resort coral in this video is a few meters from this hotel. Nice rooms, nice services, nice food. Everything was allright. :)
Hi, for the sure the Malikia Resort is also very nice 👍🙂 But you're right...diving or snorkeling in Abu Dabbab is just amazing. I loved every second of it 😍 The trigger fish can be dangerous...ask the local scuba diving center if their breeding at this time. They often know it 😉 I wish that you can take your vacation without hesitation. Heads up, there will be a time after the C-Virus...
