In addition to all of that wonderment, I had a lot of fun making these little social media promotional bits from the extra dive footage we shot. <\/p>\n<p>This little number comes from an ill-timed photo burst. Sometimes it is challenging to figure out what the GoPro is doing underwater. We plugged the card into a computer later and saw a huge sequence of photographs of nothing in particular and this little thing was born:<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A few more highlights from the dive trip <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LaurnSmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@laurnsmith<\/a> and I recently took to Roatan, Honduras: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/swjINdBKYB\">https:\/\/t.co\/swjINdBKYB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eFqQikz5Un\">pic.twitter.com\/eFqQikz5Un<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kenny Smith (@kennysmith) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kennysmith\/status\/1153414987001544708?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 22, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>When I say footage we shot it, I mean what my lovely wife shot. She was happy snapping away with the camera, and I was happy inhaling a tank of air much too quickly while watching the world go by. Probably 97 percent of the photos and videos we brought back are things she shot. Oh, I&#8217;d point out things not in her line of sight from time to time, and I edited all the things you&#8217;ve seen go on my site the last few weeks, but she captured almost all of it. She&#8217;s excellent at being talented.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I had to get a few of her here and there. And I can&#8217;t take just one photograph. While she&#8217;s mugging for the camera, I&#8217;m firing off multiples, and that led to this fun little gif: <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In my mind <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LaurnSmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LaurnSmith<\/a> and I are still diving somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s an easy escape.
