Anybody want to dive the east coast 12/6 - 7

[Salmonboy97]

Those photos were taken from a variety of dives off Pompano Beach. There are some from the Sea Emporer wreck, United Carribean wreck, the culverts next to the Sea Emporer, and a reef called Abbey 2. (I am the guy in the yellow wetsuit,)
I will post some pics I took later today. I am just starting to go through them.

Water temp was a nice 76. Depths of the dives we did ranged from 45ish to 100ish.

Note the ray with the large bite on its left wing. It was healing but it still looked bad. I took that photo very close to the United Carribean wreck by the "rock path".
I didnt get any shark photos. I was "nudging" the shark to come out of its hole for III to shoot the photos he got.

Did you see this thread before the dive? If so you should have asked if that crazy Salmon person was aboard. I would have spoken up!

Too bad we didnt know there were other SBers there. It would have been nice to meet you.
Well, maybe next time.

Spear_friend 12-6 and 12-7 were LAST weekend. This dive is in the history books now. Please feel free to check out the photos from the dive.

Thanks for your interest and maybe we could do it next time.

I did see the thread. I guess I was having a shy moment. I get along better with Baby (the eel) and the rays, than a lot of people Next time I promise to speak up.

Down4fun, do you have any photos to share??

 

[down4fun]

No, I don't have a camera/housing:depressed: I think it will be one of my next scuby purchases. I almost bought one for my upcoming trip to Coz. But need to do some more research first.

Hi Kim, Im Bill.
The shots I took were with a Sealife DC500 camera without the strobe. It does a pretty good job.
My dive bud III also has a Sealife camera but it is a little newer (DC800?) and he was using a strobe.
You can get them on ebay for about $250.00 used but you have to wait for a good auction.
I bought mine in a dive shop for about $700.00 with all the extras, strobe, wide angle lens. Cameras eat batteries up pretty fast so you should buy a spare and charger too. My camera charges the battery through a docking station that is why I bought a battery charger, so I dont have to leave the camera at the hotel room charging the battery.
