Holy Camolie! that is some amazing stuff. I just surfed around this guy's site. He's extremely talented. Makes me feel like an idiot, bumbling around with a camera someone shoved in my hand.

One of the best underwater images I've ever seen. That represents a lot of work right there.

Wow! Thanks for posting this Lamont.

I dove this same wreck the day you posted this, and though I'm still giddy about it, this just made me more so!

I've been wondering if we could do something like this for the I-beams and use a scooter to drag a diver with a videocamera down the I-beams at a constant speed, then take frames out of the video grab and turn them into a top-down panorama of them.

For a recent *cough* deep sea detectives *cough* episode they did this for an entire wreck which was in waters that were limited viz like ours and they were able to construct a panorma of the entire wreck from above, and use that for planning penetration dives.
