This RC Plane Crash Results In The Best Underwater Animal Shots
GoPros are pretty good at filming underwater. They are also excellent at capturing the sad demise of remote-controlled aircraft. So it makes sense that if you crash a RC plane into the sea, you're going to end up with some awesome footage.
The video comes courtesy of an Australian RC plane pilot who, whilst out for a pleasant day's remoting, got disorientated by the sun and steered his poor plane, complete with GoPro, into the sea. That's a pretty good video in and of itself — expensive electronics crashing into the sea! — but it gets better under the surface. Because this is Australia, all of which is filled with incredible wildlife*, there's obviously pretty fish and turtles and stuff swimming around the downed plane.

And this is why I'm DYING to go diving in Australia. You crash a gopro into the ocean off the northeast coast of the US and most likely all you'll see is murk. Also muck.
You can get similar dives closer to home, you know. Just head down to Puerto Rico or wherever. Only been there once, but spent the better part of a day snorkeling over some beautiful reefs in crystal clear water, actually clearer than in this video.
Just go to the Florida Keys. You can see the same thing and you won't need a passport.
ots seriously such an experience. Back when I lived in singapore my family spent a christmas in Australia and one of the activities was snorkeling. One of my fondest memories as a kid.
......same for Puerto Rico. No passport or visa required, uses American dollars, and your cell phone even works without issue (as long as you're with one of the big carriers). But comes with the added bonus that in addition to coral reefs, you've got one of the only bioluminesent bays in the world, a bustling city with a historical district, and even a rainforest all within easy driving distance on the island. And it's cheap as hell to stay if you're smart.
Why does he call it a "glider"? There is clearly an engine on it that was running the entire time.
