South FL diving

A few vid clips from my last 2 dives off of Pompano Beach, for anyone who is interested.

Thank you for that! I had knee surgery and am laid up until mid May earliest. I miss my shore dives and an diving vicariously here on the Board.

Have not done Pompano. That is a beautiful garden of soft corals. Where is the shore access?

There's multiple access/parking areas on 12th st , 8th (the one I park at), 6th , 4th (all these have 4 parking spaces ) and 2nd street / by the Pompano pier(that parking area seems to always be packed and crowded). Go straight out to where the white markers are (a bit of swim, maybe 400-450 yards but worth it). The Drop off runs north-south. Lots of sea-life to see.

Excellent, I will have to do me some Pompano Beach diving soon.

Great macro work. What do you use to keep the camera so still? A makeshift tripod of some sort?

Thanks! Yes, actually it's a quad pod(4 ULCS arms) and an aluminum plate with ball joints, makeshift like you said. Older setup but does a decent job.

Gosh darnit. Now I'm gonna have to add a tripod to my tray too.

Try an Xit404 tray. I wanted one but there are no mounting holes under the housing, so had to make my own with a plate and 2 L-shaped brackets(attached to the handles). Worked fine in the end.
