Writing telemetry data (specifically, depth) to gopro video?

Units/meanings of each of the fields are here: http://mavlink.org/messages/common.

You can derive the depth yourself using the reported absolute pressure, or use the GLOBAL_POSITION_INT.alt field, which is the depth that the autopilot calculates using the specified GND_SPEC_GRAV parameter for the specific gravity of the fluid you are diving in.
