I did a dive on the Sea Emperor aka Aqua Zoo a week or so back. Here are some images that came out of it. Brian Gagas of Gold Coast Scuba had a graduating class of scuba divers out who show up below and in the video. Congratulations! There was nice blue water visibility this morning, around a hundred feet. Unfortunately the overhead light was a bit low challenging the shooting a bit despite the excellent viz.

Captain Aria does a cameo in the video clip while hauling my camera rig and dive scooter aboard, multifaceted! Thanks to the expert, congenial and helpful crew of South Florida Diving Headquarters as always.

Brian's students near the bow of the 171 ft. by 45 ft. barge. I put an inset of myself on there (from yet another dive) to tie things into scooter free diving. The inverted hopper barge has the nice twin slits in the bottom (top) of the hull allowing convenient egress should the need arise.

Brian works on some skills on the sand with the students.

Images shot with a GoPro Hero 3 Black camera.

Thank you, it is a fun wreck for scuba as well as this type of diving. I really like it when it loads up with goliath grouper.

The last time I did static was six years ago in a competition course with Martin Stepanek after taking his FII Level III free diving course. Like I would ever compete but the course was interesting all the same. It wasn't long at all, only four minutes in the pool. I try to keep my scooter dives under 90 seconds.

Here is another similar clip on the Sea Emperor.

Very nice! the Sea Emperor is one of my favorite wrecks in the area. I enjoyed this.

Out of curiosity, what's your longest dry static breathe hold?
