Video of DC3/Prince Albert/Shore Diving off Gazebo at Fantasy Island

Look what I found on YouTube!!! Man, I can't wait until October 30th!

Unusually perfect clarity for the Westerly path towards the wrecks.

There's a lot more life on the wrecks than this video would allow, but the music is very snappy.

Divers such as this fellow (with BPW) with bad buoyancy plummeting to the bottom and then scraping his tank valve do not contribute to the sustaining of life- neither do DM's dragging reef skewers and octos.

Somebody, quick- ditch this video.

It still makes me want to go diving on the PA Wreck, though.

The really big plus of having this easy access shore dive is very hard to convey. It really centers on the fact that this close-in dive can be done many times in the daylight, so you can be really comfortable there on a night dive. That's when the really cool stuff appears.

Here is an admittedly very crappy video I shot during a night dive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6djr_zECrqc Not many critters that night, but with all of the larval stuff in the water, the Corals were definitely feeding! (No Corals were harmed during the filming)

Pretty amazing visibility, huh I don't think I've ever seen it that clear

I sincerely hope this video essentially missed all the life, from fish to coral and everything in between or I am going to be sorely disappointed in March at CCV.

I love the way they show the Lion Fish as though it were an attraction.

Yes, the video missed literally everything.

After you get over looking at a sunken ship, then... It's all in the details~ the hull is crawling with critters!

Here's a tour: (not many critters shown, but you'll get the idea)

Likely they didn't see these, right on the PA Wreck:

Oh my goodness...it's just a quick promotional video! I'm sure it's only meant to make you want more. I seriously doubt that you will be disappointed when you get to CCV.

Actually, Fantasy Island takes eradication of the lionfish very seriously. I am told they have met with the Roatan Marine Park officials and are serious about hunting and destroying as many lionfish as possible.

The one in that video looked very healthy and it had damned near as much screen time as the DC-3.
