If you can get those ducks on vid, I would love to have it. I have never seen or heard of that before.

Today I went for a great dive after the storms have left, A puget sound king crab that encountered a spot shrimp, My buddy's local wolf eel, mine was not home and the usual suspects, I did change camera settings and pics are a little better, of course I need to be a little more on the slow down thing. My fingers were cold as the rain only changed it from 47 to 46 degrees in shallows, But I think from so many pics.
Any ways after finding a down rigger ball on a cable I had to do more deco, ran across cable at 50' after doing a deep dive and had 2 mins at 10' and running back down to 140'(hoping ball was there) and unhooking steel leader I had picked up a whole bunch of deco not planned. I did end the dive with 1230psi, and it did give me a bit of practice on if there was actually a diver in distress to go back down. All in All I got me a down rigger ball and all the rigging, flasher, bout $100 of fishing gear for having to pump an extra 770psi in the twin 100's and the extra deco time.
Guess the first Pic is a bit blurry wrong one, now You see how many are bad, funny thing is I dive with the best photographer there is and I just never ask I just go take pics, practice make perfect.

this is 50' great day to dive, I went to 171' cause it was so nice down under.
these shots are from gopro giving it another go, at a pic every one sec, and 999 pics not very many came out as I was moving all the time.
now I found a humane bone and tried to feed it to Mr. Possession

I forgot camera and went to the depths of 40 fathoms, the prawns were huge, a giant sea aneome, It was new area, and then on ascent I ran into my buddy's of the sea vis was good down there. I then proceeded to enjoy the dive with not having to take pics or vid. I like holding my breath and have the rockfish get inches from my mask they like to look eye to eye. Another great Deep Air Dive

It is easier in a boat you just roll off and hop in, 1 minute of weight on you.
Helium is for deeper than 250 or so.
Possession has most features at not much deeper than 175' and the ones between 200 and 300' or so are not much for returning to. I do pop down and look for new parts yet it is a lot to cover.
Plus it is only about $1 a fill for air in my compressor, and I can do deep air dives everyday without spending time filling trimix.
