The First Emperor Diver

[Scott A McWilliam]

Yes, I was in the Park when they filmed and did some diving with a few of their divers. We did some diving on the Algoma site and they were shooting 16mm and dragging surface supplied lights. They were copied from Al Giddings' design, four 650-watt bulbs that were run wet in Iklite Superlight housings.

I was corresponding with Luke a few months ago. It is funny, after so many years, we are still doing the same thing. Also, a painful reminder of some of the differences between Canada and the United States. He is shooting Reds and I am shooting Blackmagic, why? Because he has better toys than I do.

Well, he did switch to GoPros.

Many years and many flooded housings later. We had a GoPro 3 make it to 310ft on a 150ft rated housing. Tim Troup's scooter didn't make it, but the damn Gopro did.

He's certainly a one of kind type of person. I almost joined his crew when I was in middle school for the Sea Cadets.
