California Muck Diving video

[Rick_C]

One of my favorite dive sites for video is the Redondo Submarine Canyon in Southern California. A very short surface swim drops off into the canyon and there is always a nice variety of creatures to discover in the muck/sand: (Gopro hero 4 silver, backscatter flip w/MacroMate Mini and 10+, Orcatorch d810v video light)

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
I love night diving. There's nothing like it.

Amazing footage.

Fantastic video! It reminds me of night muck diving in Pink Beach (Komodo) & Arborek Jetty (Raja Ampat).

What’s the water temperature then?

How many dives/hours did it take to capture all of that?

The water is a little cooler than Komodo or Raja Ampat. Typical range would be low 50's to low 60's Fahrenheit

I would estimate that about 15 hours of bottom time went into the video.

The effort sure shows.

I am guessing those colorful slug/caterpillar looking things could sting the living crap out of somebody. My rule of thumb is don't touch...although those shrimp and crabs look tasty!
