Not sure how to embed it and not going to take the time right now to learn.

Thanks Peter and Erik! Loved the video, seems like you guys had visibility at least as good as ours.

Here's the embed:

Peter (or Erik I guess ),

Was that video taken with the hero-cam?
Looks like you guys had really really really nice viz! Was that great pinnacle?

Thanks Kenn, got the code now

Rob that was Thumbs Up. We did the Great Pinnacle for our first dive. Not sure what cam it was, but it was tiny and he had it strapped on his hand with a soft handle.

Is there a family name given to the types of sharks, like the leopard here, that don't have to swim continuously to get oxygen?

I've just started researching this myself. Lazy and looking for a shortcut!

TIA.

Cool vid btw.

Rob,

Yes this was the GoPro HD hero cam. I'd say the only negative would be the blur you get in water, in air it works fantastically though, and the field of view is extremely wide.

I didn't break it out on the first dive, but I should have as at the Great Pinnacle I think the viz was even better than the second dive.

Great videos! I've been having withdrawals from not diving the past 2 weekends and watching these helped a little. I'm hoping to see the leopard sharks when I'm there on the 30th (fingers crossed).

Good luck! Here is where I *think* we were when we saw the sharks. I really have no idea for sure, since we ascended about 20ft away the southern end of Whalers Cove

Ken -As usual.. awesome footage!! I have only managed to see the swipe of ones tail and he was gone!
Interesting that they were so far into the cove-wonder if they were attracted by the krill,or what feeds on it?
Thanks again for sharing!
