This is twin cave in Marianna, the video wasn't charged on the first dive so after the dive I thought man that was awsome footage upon review like 10 minutes got recorded if that, charged it again and went back, only to find out that carrying an HID light in the right hand beside the camera generated fields big enough to trip the magnetic switches in the housing, there is a low low deep silty section of twin that we swam through and the entire time I was thinking this is going to turn out GREAT, little did I know I was pointing a camera that was turned off :-( First part of this vid is just me and rand, then after we charged it hong came along, I put a sound track on this one, some moby.

That's the theory anyway, moving the ballast in relation to the magnetic switches trips them. We couldn't figure out anything else that could be causing it and holding the light head still seemed to stop it from happening.
