Scuba Diving in Cozumel with ScubaLuis – The Review TripAdvisor Won’t Publish

Another Bucket List Item – Now Off of My List. I’m a FORMER Bar Owner.

My First Edited Drone Video – Cozumel Mexico

This is my 4th or 5th flight ever with the DJI Phantom but the first video I’ve recorded. I still need a lot of practice to get smooth flight movement and I didn’t take a lot of time to edit to the music or work with color correct, brightness or contrast. It is what it […]
