Flower Garden report 17-19

[Optik]

Good weather, very little current, water temp 68-70, Vis 50-70 feet, waves at 2-4. Lots of hammerheads, mantas, sharks jumping out of the water, and lots of life. This was on the fling.

If it's anything like the footage of the great whites breaching off the coast of CA that they show on the discovery/national geographic channel, I want to see it so I never go out the the flower gardens....

Oh no, what have i started. Hehe, its true sharks, yes they jump, feeding maybe. Well i have an underwater video of the whole thing, hammer heads and everything. Now if i could find a way to post it online that would be great. Untill then you can only take my word for it

I've seen (and shot) worse. Besides, the content more than makes up for it. Looks like a pretty amazing trip.

I don't suppose that there is a mpeg file storage thing on this site so you could upload footage, huh?

I'm still saving up for a video capture card so I can play footage from my analog camcorder in Windows Media Player.
