Hatteras Scooter Diving

[Randy g]

This is our 4th video with the GPB. I am getting a lot more comfortable in the editing process now, and it shows.

Shot in 1080/30 with pro tune on. 2 Sola 1200s are mounted on the nose of my scooter and really adds to the lighting the color up in a lot of scenes. Close ups were shot in medium mode.

Cool video. Those big sharks look scary. I met a girl who lost a big piece of her arm from one of those sand tigers.

Thanks DD. I respect them but I am not scared of them. We are not on their list of food and they mainly feed at night. During the day they act kind of like cows, just moseyin around checking out the bubble blowers. I don't think I would do a night dive out there though.

I had 2 very large ones play chicken with me, on an opposing flyby, with me in the middle. They buzzed me within inches on each side simultaneously and were longer than me and my scooter. That was after the one bumping me in the video. I promptly left after those visits and decended back to the bottom with my friends.

Awesome video. What was the depth on that dive?

Thanks Ricky, Proteus sits at 120' to the sand.

Good to see the ol' H-160 getting a workout! That was a terrific scooter.

It's getting a good workout this season Tammy. We are scootering diving wrecks almost every weekend. Fun scooter but as you know, it has it's plus's and minus's. I am going to upgrade next year to a genesis and give this to Kate to use.
