Looking forward to diving on GC vicariously while off island.

Cool, very cool!

I can see work productivity going down...

 

[AggieDiver]

I am never going to get any work done now. Double monitors for the win!

 

[EastEndDiver]

I can sell my dive gear and buy a bigger monitor and never have to get wet.

Watched the inaugural dive - Little Tunnels on the west side. The moderators (one diving, one on the boat) are very knowledgeable and give a great running commentary about the marine life (I believe they are marine biologists) . The quality of the video feed is pretty good although the color is somewhat distorted towards green, maybe not enough light - as the corals light up in nice color when they get closer. Definitely worth a look, and the live videos are recorded for later viewing on youtube if you don't want to watch live. Viewers can chat with the moderator on the boat during the dive, and youtube also captures the chat.

Here's their second dive today, they are on Casuarina Point. The star of the show is Adult Female Hawksbill No. 4, known as Sharkbait - and you will see why they call her that!

It's pretty interesting!

Casuarina Point is right off of Don Foster's in George Town - not the North Wall .

Also, they don't seem to know the island too well as they said they were on the North Wall at Little Tunnels this morning - but Little Tunnels is on the west side on Seven Mile Beach - not the North Wall!

Cool to watch the diving, though! I'll be back there in less than 6 weeks!

Ha ha - I've dived it a couple of times and should have caught that - but I did fix it in my post.
