Now finally we get to today's diving (Sunday) and we again had Bill and our Diving Diva Andrea Wraalstad. This was a trip to the Oriskany and although the weather looked questionable when we got up this morning the rain stopped as we were loading the boat up and the seas were nice on the way out. Once to the site we were treated to 90-120 foot of vis and a wonderful dive with some great friends. There is a real nice thermalcline developing deep on the "O" and I marked 75* at about 120'. Although I made the Whale Shark call the night before at the dock and again once on site, we didn't see a whale shark today, but I'll wait with baited breath until our next trip to the deep blue.

Working on uploading this video now......

Loved the vid Barry! How have you mounted your GoPro and did you get the corrective lens sold by one of the aftermarket companies?
 
Nice Video Barry!
I dove with you on Capt Andys boat summer of 2012 and can't wait to get back out there. We are already planning our 1st dive vacation of the year.

He does have the corrective lens. The GP1 and 2 are almost useless underwater without them. He has several mounts, one on his speargun, a pvc pole-mount, and I think a handle iirc. The head-mounts often take bad video because every time you move your head, you're recomposing the shot.
