Sunset Lake - Vicksburg, MI - Sunken Boat

On only the fourth outing with my underwater camera I was completely surprised to find a sunken boat! Unfortunately, I was drifting pretty quickly so it was really difficult to get a steady shot. I'm hoping to try and get some better footage soon.

This is a murky underwater video clip of Sunset Lake (vicksburg, MI). Although there aren't any fish shown I'm really happy with how this test video turned out. Hopefully, in the future I'll have clips of fish swimming around.
