Here's a video put together by my buddy 616fun with footage shot by himself and the third team member JWard.

Dove the Glenorchy and the Dunderberg. Two great dives. Both very different. Can't wait to go back :-)
 
Wish I could view YouTube at work... Will have to wait until tonight to check out the video... :depressed:

Was finally able to watch the video. NICELY DONE! :D

I liked the video inside the Glenorchy. I was hoping to get out and get some video of that wreck this year, but it just didn't happen.

Also wanted to comment.... Great team communication! Was nice seeing the group with good light communications and communication on the decompression stops. Looks like you work well together as a team. :) Once again Great Job, thanks for the trip summary post and the video!
 
Thanks. We take our dives seriously. We didn't progress all the way thru the ship, so we didn't place reels. Only explored the engine room and peeked in on the boilers. From that perspective we were in the light zone the entire dive. We did exit and progress down the port side of the wreck to see the exit point from the cargo hold. Always time to gain data for next time.

I have dove a bunch we both Jim and Jason and consider them to be primary buddies. If there is a wreck I'm gonna deco on - its gonna be with these guys :-).

Thanks Mike. I too was glad to see these elements brought out in Brian's video. The three of us are new technical divers with a TON to learn and skills that still need to be fine tuned and perfected. Even though we had no major issues on these 2 dives, we've each been critiquing our own performances and areas to work on. We did have some minor issues that we handled without a hitch. However, one thing we do well is communicate and stay together. We were together on the planning and together on the execution. That's the only way to roll with this type of diving.

The video also demonstrates how critical good lights are to communication when doing advanced diving, especially technical diving. There are folks out there that don't see why you need a $1,000 flashlight for diving. However, there isn't any tool any more critical in my opinion to keeping a team together and in sync.
