New England Diving videos

[tye1138]

Hey Everyone!

I've spent the last three months compiling and upresing a few videos I made in 2000/2001 about New England Diving. We hit a few kool dive sites and also go through the OW course curriculum. These videos have been sitting on the shelf for 10 years and I'm very exited to bring them to the Scuba Board community.

All the underwater footage was shot using an Accugear housing and Sony single ccd Hi-8 camera with no viewfinder and auto focus on all the time. It was what we use to refer to as a point and prey camera, ya might get something if your lucky! Well, we got a lot of great footage and after some clean up work, a few minutes of the hundreds of hours shot, is finally presentable. For sure not the type of quality you'd see today, but never the less, very kool stuff and worth watching.

First three videos are all dive-site related:

The Foley Cove Adventure - YouTube

Dive Nahant - YouTube

What Lies Beneath Hathaways Pond - YouTube

This video is all about New England diving and what its like to take an open water course in the north east.

Finally, a documentary I made about learning how to dive and becoming an instructor.

Nice vids. Really wanted to do some diving up there this summer but it was not to be

The viz in that Nahant video looks excellent - I've never heard of that location - is the viz often that good?

Yea Nahant is awesome, but its hard to park there and there are no facilities. If you do a google map search for Nahant, you'll see the beach, its on the south east corner of the peninsula before it turns south and hits the marine lab.

Its the closest site to down town boston, very easy to get to from the 93. But its probably a trek for you sadly.

In terms of visibility, its usually pretty good. That day was epic though we never saw that again...
