Diving Peacock Water Source Tunnel

[skippy31]

We decided to check out the Water Source tunnel at Peacock. We ended up taking the scenic route there and it took us 4 jumps to reach the tunnel. Still we were able to swim a good distance along and turned only about 50 feet before the well. Video was shot by Mike and I did the editing. Pretty happy with the result.

Man, thinking about spending that much time trying to be perfect makes my back hurt! At about 3 minutes in, I was nodding my head and saying, "Yeah, that's Florida cave, all right; look at the silt crosseyed and it's up behind you!"

Well there were a bunch of tight spots, but they were relatively short. Most of the time the cave was a reasonable size. Dive time was two hours total, but we did not have to be "perfect" for the whole time of course.

Great video, I always enjoy your videos. Can you tell me what kind of camera and light set up you're using? I've tried a few cave videos and they haven't turned out very well.

Well we had more light than usual on this dive. I typically use a 35W HID with video reflector for most of my videos, but on this dive my friend Mike brought his camera and lights as well. As a result we had two 21W HIDs on the camera and I had the 35W in my hand up front. I usually use the GoPro for most of my videos but since this one was done by Mike he used his camera which was a Sony HDR-XR500 in a light and motion housing. I did shoot some video on this dive as well but I ended up using Mikes footage since it looked better as the light out front gave more depth to the cave video.
