St Thomas Shipwreck Virtual Tour

Hi All,

I wanted to share with you more underwater Virtual Tours since we just launched our
Caribbean Travel Guide. Here's a dive in St. Thomas in a ship wreck its about 90-100 ft underwater.

Those are pretty awesome. How do you shoot underwater 360s? I can imagine how you shoot normal ones, but it seems being underwater would make things much more difficult.

There's also this one I'd seen before and went back and found from Hawaii. How do you shoot a 360 from a helicopter?!

Hey Ryder,

Yes a bit more difficult not to scare the sealife. A few things that you don't do on land is float above camera, not bump it, carry and extra 30-40 lbs of weight. Don't forget to check your regulator "air is important".

The work in Kauai was shot from a helicopter with side door taken off. All you do is buckle in and lean out the side. Have the helicopter spin 360... and do some fancy computer work.

WARNING: I don't recommend this to anyone! your taking your life at risk and don't blame me if you take a high dive. My helicopter pilot was a ace!!

What sort of specific infomration are you looking for?

That looks pretty neat! I guess we shouldn't try those at home. :)

perfect angles taken! good work.. the place really looks so fresh and peaceful! the water is perfect!

Wow. I'd love to check out the shipwreck some time. 90 - 100 ft underwater is pretty deep. I wonder how long an amateur diver, like me, could last?
