P.E.I. lobster fisherman takes GoPro underwater

Eric Creed has spent much of his life on the Atlantic, but thanks to a new camera he's captured a glimpse of what lies beneath.

The 25-year-old from Montague, P.E.I., got a GoProcamera last summer while working as a lobster fisherman with his dad.

He rigged up a cage for the camera from a wire lobstertrap, hit recordand dropped it about 30 to 40 feet below the boat off the shore of Grahams Pond in easternP.E.I.

"It was pretty amazing to see. My biggest goal was to see a lobster in its natural habitat and that's what we were able to see," he said.

"It was pretty cool to see all the fish following the camera because it must have been just so shiny to them, whenever the camera would turn around, you would see loads of fish following the camera."

Creedposted the videos to hisYouTubechannel, and shared them with his family who have been fishing for generations.

"My father was pretty blown away by it," he said."You see stuff like this all the time on TV, but to see it where we actually fish is pretty amazing."
