Thanks for the post. I love to see video. It looked like toward the end of that second one everyone was kicking against the current to hold position and you still managed to shoot video facing them. Pretty good trick.

What type of video setup did you use for this? Great colours

It's this setup with a simple Sony DCR-HC30 camera (about $300)

The whole setup is about $1000 - it shoots great video. I use the ikelite UR Filter and the sony .6X wide angle lens, and that's it. No color enhancements have been done. I dump the video to Adobe Premier, and just edit it up, then convert to a WMV.

The whole setup with the camera inside only weighs 12 lbs on land. The only time I've needed to use lights so far is inside a wreck.

hehehehe - HAD to be canadian (like me) that would think 76 is "SHORTY" weather.... lucky guess on boyton.... saw the clip of the poor sod futzing with the 'ball' - i always feel sorry for that poor 'chosen' person that has to figure out how to be an instant 'divemaster' for the group.

The guy carrying the Buoy line... was the DM. He's also an SB'er and everyone on the boat that day was just our little group.

which boat in Boynton has an official DM? that's sooo cool... i've only been a few times and the everytime it was: captain says "

the boat is full... we'll be doing 2 drops.... you 6 go first, you 6 go second.... find a 'volunteer' to handle the ball....."

thus the 'instant' diveMaster qualifications requirements.....
