Im really into antique trucks. As soon as i saw the hoodlines i knew. Its from the 60s. Great vid by the way

[chrysny413]

That bus is an international harvester

[Rogerhockey999]

@chrysny413 Interesting. How do you know that?

[sgtfury99]

Ahh good times, took some training divers with me and had my instructor friend teach them a bit at Dutch this past week-end then one of them told us to go to the surface when we got there we all said whats wrong then she said "nothing I just wanted to talk" ha funniest things happen at Dutch to me.

FOREVER DIVING!

[Rogerhockey999]

@sgtfury99 That is a funny story. Maybe the person was getting nervous about being under the water.

I was thinking about going last weekend, but I heard it was supposed to rain. How is the water now?

[sgtfury99]

@Rogerhockey999 Umm I did my search and recovery, peak performance, and night diver specialty that weekend so no pleasure diving but overall I was mostly in 5' vis from silt trying to rig a lift bag lolz but if you got in before everyone silted it up at the platforms it was about 30' pretty nice at 8 am :) and no rain only on Friday night I camped out and rained around 4-5am

[Rogerhockey999]

@sgtfury99 That is a funny story. Many new divers get nervous and make up good stories to get out from under the water.

[dwatt5]

what type of camera were you using? i like the zoom ..... have you finished rescue diver yet???? good luck with your adventures.... ive been there too ;) awesome place to train!!!

[Rogerhockey999]

@dwatt5 The camera I used was a Canon SD990. Taylor finished her rescue course two years ago and then finished the Jr Master Scuba Diver and now is 15 and is a Master Scuba Diver. Thanks for the note.

[openup291]

how cold is it there? im thinking of going soon.

[Rogerhockey999]

@openup291 The water is the warmest in the end of August into September. I would think it would be about 68 now. Dutch Springs has a website that shows the temperatures each month.

[Rogerhockey999]

Lots of fun. Taylor was really brave though.

[AlexZ1028]

[Rogerhockey999]

Ramon that was great! I never thought of that. Keep on coming with the good ones! Have a good week!

[ramonski1]

How 'bout that.. a school bus for schools of fish..!!parrruuummpppphh!!

[Rogerhockey999]

You need to get back into diving. Jules is really cool and not that deep.

You can get information online. They are located in Key Largo, Florida. Have a nice weekend.

[RedPolarBearRanger]

I did my open water cert dives at Dutch Springs and yes there is a old school bus that is sunk there I know because I seen it on my dives as well and there are some old cabin cruisers too.

[Rogerhockey999]

Pretty cool. They have a bunch of stuff in Dutch Springs. Airplanes, Cranes, Trucks, cars, Trolley cars, boats, fire truck, etc.. Hope you are still diving and are having fun.

My friend dove there last Thursday and he said it was 44 in the water. Too cold for me.

[RedPolarBearRanger]

@Rogerhockey999 that's cool and btw I was 22 years old when I did my open water dives and I can tell your kids love it too. I live in Philadelphia and the trolley that was sunk there used to be used by my local transit agency SEPTA. I haven't done a open water dive since my cert dives but I do pool dives from time to time I hope to return to Dutch Springs and would love to visit the Jules Verne Undersea lodge like in some of your other videos too someday.

[Rogerhockey999]

Never saw many sharks in Dutch Springs. I did see some giant trout though. Rainbow.

[dogmusher]

This bus is good for fish to hide from sharks and padi diving for fun

[Rogerhockey999]

In August the water is about 68 degrees. 44 is really cold. In 2001 I took a Padi shark feeding course in the Bahamas and it was 70 in the water. The next weekend I took a rebreather course and it was 36 degrees in April in Dutch Springs. My instructor made me go down to 60 feet by myself because he was too cold. Hope you had a good dry suit. Keep up the diving. Roger

[81Steinmetz]

I just did the school bus on Saturday it was like 44 degrees, how warm was it in there in August?

[Rogerhockey999]

The bus must be 20 years old plus. They put it down there for divers to have fun.

Dutch Springs is a underwater diving park. Lots of items to explore and practice on.

[GalwayChick]

how old is that bus and how did it get down there

[Rogerhockey999]

You might be right. Cool bus.

[BggstHm]

looks like a 70,s international loadstar

[captainofthetitanic]

how deep was it from tyhe school bus to the surface?

[Rogerhockey999]

About 35 to 45 feet at the bottom of it.

[heywatchme101]

how deep is the bus at?

[valessakis]

all the garbage

e in the poor sea

[Rogerhockey999]

The bus is in a quarry and was cleaned up before it was put in. No oil, no gas totally cleaned. It is used for rescue diving, recreational diving and the water stays in the quarry and the water is actually really clear.

[competswim]

Interesting, Im sure she will do fine when it comes to the course.

[Rogerhockey999]

She went from being not into diving into being a real good diver. I guess it was the three year break and then becoming more mature. It was great diving the school bus with her.

[competswim]

Sounds like she has found her niche.:))

[oufc29]

this is good but at 3.36 he seems to be doing some is he ajusting his weight belt or what

[Rogerhockey999]

I checked it out and Taylor is a girl was trying to keep her hands in... Good buoyancy is important.
