Aceh’s Hidden Depths: A GoPro 11 Cinematic Journey through North Seulako

Описание: 📍 Dive Site: North Seulako, Pulau Weh
The Highlight: The Giant Gorgonian Fans. These massive, ancient structures thrive in the nutrient-rich currents (the "Bastard Current") off the northern tip of Seulako.

Environment: Large granite boulders, dramatic slopes, and high-energy water that requires excellent buoyancy and a steady hand.

📸 The Underwater Rig: GoPro 11 "Pro Traveler"
My hardware configuration is designed for maximum stability and color accuracy:

Optics: Backscatter Flip System (using Shallow and Deep filters depending on your depth at the boulders).

Stability: Dual Handheld Stabilizer Tray for two-handed control in currents.

Lighting: 14,000 Total Lumens (2x Fix Aquavolt 7000).
Primary: Mounted to the tray for wide-angle fill.
Off-Camera: Handheld by your assistant for creative backlighting or side-lighting to make the Gorgonian textures "pop."

Buoyancy: Ikelite Buoyancy Arms to neutralize the weight of the lights, ensuring the rig doesn't feel "heavy" at the end of a 45-minute dive.
