Nice vid. I'm mostly used to salt water dives. But I'm moving back to grand rapids after 16 years in new Mexico, only blue hole and some lakes out here, maui and kona Hawaii were amazing. However I'm excited for some fresh.water dives, any recommendations for spots near GR would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and that tank under your chest is helium for your drysuit is it not?
@truenorthmark Not sure. I had different music on it but YouTube threatened me over copyright issues and I had to use their music. I just picked something random so I have no idea what it is or who it is...sorry...:-(
@BCSDive No problem. I am always looking for good background music for some programs that I put together and that was a pretty sweet jam. I am using mostly stills, but incorporate some movie bites as my still camera is capable of HD video. I keep my boat in Mackinaw. Stop in and say hi if you are ever in the area. The boat name is "True North." Always enjoy meeting other divers and swapping stories.
@truenorthmark I was just up there on Friday last week. dived the Eber Ward w/Craig out of Straits Scuba. Beautiful weather and great viz...I'm workin' on that vid now. Will try to post asap. I'll be sure to try and look you up next time I'm there! Good luck w/the vid work! (thanks for the kind words wrt the vid...:-)...)
ture harry45 but there are good scuba stories on the net too. My favorite site is the myscubastory site. They have shark diver attack videos, true scuba diving stories, lost buddy stories, dive accident stories and videos. Type myscubastory into google and its the first one - enjoy :)
Great vids, thanks! I'm going to my first OWD class this week, I'm so excited thinking that I'll be able to see wrecks with my own eyes in the future!
sweet vid man im starting scuba soon but i was wondering is it scary going down say 100 feet or more for the first time. or do you get more relaxed as you dive more
@samlove57 Thanks!! Glad you liked the vids! WRT your questions, personally I believe one's confidence increases w/competence. In other words, as you become more skilled as a diver, the anxiety or worry dissipates. Receiving high quality training and gaining a LOT of experience is critical. Choice of dive team is just as important as your own training. Choose your instructor(s) wisely. I would NOT recommend the "Yellow Pages" approach for finding training.
there is something strange, what is that white thing that passes by at arround 1:41, there is the ship and the diver, but something crosses from left to right.
small particle in the water. Could be any of a number of tiny living marine animals. That stuff is seen by the diver, but because of the focus setting on the vid cam, it is rarely caught by the camera... this is done on purpose and helps to give a MUCH clearer picture than what is seen by the diver (IOW, real visibilty is less than what the camera records---we call it the magic camera...:-)...)

Commercial is diving construction, inspection, survey, demolition. in other words, for money as a professional. It encompasses the use of "hardhat" diving equipment and usually surface supplied gases as well as communication and support teams. This is much different than recreational scuba diving for leisure entertainment or hobby. Training commitment (as well as cost and availability) required for each differs considerably.
You can make money doing commercial diving in freshwater. Back to your original question, I asked what type of diving your were looking to do because that would dictate where to seek an education/training in it. Louisiana (Morgan City and the like) has some very active commercial diving firms and I believe at least one school. On the other hand, if you just want to scuba dive (fresh or sea water), just open the yellow pages for a local dive shop. They all offer recreational training.
Oh okay, Thank you for that information. I would rather freshwater dive but I'm just looking for something to fall back on. But I will look into it thank you.
I posted a link to a copy of the original vid w/original music choice. I agree wrt the song choice, but they forced me to do so...:-(.... the link appears in the vid above at ~ :19 seconds. Thanks for watching!!
I would argue that point after diving around the world in most of the oceans. The Great Lakes, while not as "alive" with creatures, offer at least the challenge of the oceans.
Those are 2-40cf aluminum deco bottles (one has 50%EANx, and one has 100% O2), the larger bottle is an aluminum 80 (80cubic foot) stage bottle to extend bottom time when using the single set of twins for multiple dives.

ps...scooters are designed to carry the diver faster than swimming.
That first one is by The Eels and is called "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues", the second one is called "Yeah" (can't remember who does it though), and the last one is "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet.
The helm was just sitting there. It would have been mine! Anyway, all of your videos are great and this is just another one of the greats. Please post more info on the location of these wrecks, depth, water temp, etc.
OK, got it. The first song is "Mr. E's beautifull blue" by the Eels, and it's my new favorite song. You guys are amazing divers, btw. Let me know if you're going to be near Seattle- I show you some Puget Sound diving!
Those are great sites- they were so intact, with standing Rigging and a deck house, great job on the editing too ! are you shooting wide angle? Tri mix ?

Never mind, not at that depth it wouldn't be, nor tri-gas. Just air or argon I suppose.
