Fun on 18/45

Post by pensacoladiver »

A few days ago, 4 of us dove the Johnny Morris wreck. She is 220 feet deep and we were all on 18/45. We all had scooters and with over 100 foot of vis and not much current, I wanted to get a shot of 3 scooters passing along side of the wreck. Unfortunately, I did not discuss this with anyone until we were on the wreck. This video is me trying to tell Frank and George what I want to do.

I wish I had video of the hand signals I was flashing while trying to get my point across.

It's not quite as funny as this one though

Having been on the receiving end of photographer instructions like this (although not as intelligible) I can relate -- pretty funny. Amazing how much light is in the water at that depth!

Much like the PNW, some of the best visibility days here are in the winter. We have been blessed over the last month or so with 3/4 of the dive days having well over 100 foot of vis. Unfortunately, the seas are pretty much a constatnt 2 to 4 feet.
