In the Deep See

[cisdiver]

This is the final cut of my semester project for film class at the Academy for Creative Media Windward. Due to the COVID-19 shutdown I was reliant on b-roll that I filmed during an expedition to Cocos Island, Costa Rica in early March of 2020.

This is not a "creature feature", more an experiential film to guide the viewer on a virtual dive in the Deep See submersible. Filmed aboard the Undersea Hunter Group’s M/V Argo, on location at Cocos Island, Costa Rica.

Best viewed in 4k, with good speakers or headphones...

That was pretty cool. How deep did you go on that trip?

 

[Dan]

Nice video!

It looks like 1000' (300m) deep one to see those jellynose fish & prickly shark.

 

[cisdiver]

Yes, ~300m max depth. I've had the good fortune of making 10 dives in this sub over the years. I really had no plan to put this together when I was filming it, but needed to produce something for the end of the semester

Wow! That's cool! I went once in September 2018: Cocos Diving Trip Report, 17 -27 September, 2018

I like it a lot and plan to return in September 2020, if the coast is clear for travel: Gathering a group for Cocos with Argo on 10-20 September 2020
