Agreed! I'm also pretty impressed that she found anywhere in the park that was 45 feet deep! I think I got to, like, 32 feet there once....
I was in the ferry lane, of course!

.... at night

... without a light

... at 500 PSI

... in shorts ...

Textbook dive, I think!

OH, but I should also say that my hoses were well tucked in and not threatening to snag on anything.

... unlike SOME divers...

Funny, even now, this thread is still about sharks!

FWIW I finally posted an HD version of this movie to better feel the sharkyness in full screen mode.

I still haven't made bubbles underwater since my last dive report. It's really time I start a dive buddy search in earnest.

Boy, whatever your company pays that videographer, it's worth it! Beautiful shots of beautiful underwater creatures, and you, too, Eric :)

(Kidding -- you're looking good, and that couple of inches of knee drop with the frog kick will go away if you just torture your glutes a bit more.)

Thanks Lynne ;) When people ask why I'm so core-workout crazy I'll tell them it's because of my frog kick.

Yes. Here's hoping that all euphemistic hose routing is fine. :thumb3d:

Dude. That was amazing. I've never seen a whale, except for some Orcas waaaay off in the distance last summer, and I've never seen an Oceanic Whitetip- they're beautiful animals. Great vid. Your job might suck, for all I know, but the jobsite is pretty neat.
