Scuba diving in Lanzarote

[FingersGreen0]

Dived playa chica back in october last year with Georg Reichelmann of Island Watersports enjoyed it that much now doing a club diver course with the Saa in Scotland.

Exellent Video I guide dives here and really love the quality of the video and colours have you done any work on the videos after recording them or did you have a filter on the camera.

[purpleturtleneil]

@1danielewing Thanks, I use a rose filter on a PC120 in a Gates housing. I don't mess with colour much during the edit as that can make it look a bit unnatural. I have some more footage from Lanz, so look out for a new vid with angel sharks and torpedo rays.

[mugs27]

Nice Video, im heading to lancarote myself around September with the wife and kids hoping to get some diving in to :)

[raskeesler]

Nice dive! We are going freediving at lanzarote and i wonder, is there any jellyfish or sharks/fish to look out for?

[purpleturtleneil]

I just got back from Lanzarote today (again)!

No, there are no Jellies but there are Angel sharks, stingrays and torpedo rays to look out for

This film is currently entered into a holiday video competition.

Google "citygonow" for info on the canaries and to vote for my film (if you like it better than the other films)

[spiry2sick]

Thanks for the info. I will have mainly my own kit. (except for suit and bcd). I am a newly certified BSAC Ocean Diver with 10 dives under my belt only. I suppose the house reef would be a perfect place for me to get some badly needed dive time. Kudos for quick replies!

[spiry2sick]

Thanks for the prompt reply. Great video. I am about to book a package with them. Are they any good ? Is the house reef nice ?

[purpleturtleneil]

This was filmed on their house reef, I enjoyed it. Seahorses, sea hares and big grouper but no angel sharks :(

We only did 2 dives with safari. Kits hire was good enough nick but quite pricey, so take your own gear if you can. We are quite experienced, so they were happy to let us go off on our own.

No complaints, happy diving!

[spiry2sick]

Have you been using the safari diving center ?

[purpleturtleneil]

Yes the 2 dives were from Safari divers

Congratulation for the video, very representative of the zone of scuba-diving.

[Scubaearthblogspot]

Nice Video

[ruideragooglepages]

muy bonito, yo estuve allí el verano pasado y es verdaderamente impresionante

[EpicBuilder]

Good video. what camera did you use?

[purpleturtleneil]

I use a single chip SonyPC120 in a Gates housing. As the housing will last for many more years, I'm now stock-piling second-hand PC120s from Ebay, so that I can continue with this setup.

[farmagonzalo]

Nice images. Congratulations. The sea is great!!

[pimpsy19]

its not Felix but if the grouper was near the small wreck beside the cathedral it may be his missus she also hangs around there. (to small for Felix ive dived that site alone 8 times and spent time with the big guy himself)

[purpleturtleneil]

We've have dived a lot, all over the world. Sometimes temperate waters can be more interesting, after 1000s of colourful coral reef dives.

Variety is the spice of life!

[katzwelt4]

nice video, but to see a real reef, u gotta go to egypt, or the pacific

[purpleturtleneil]

Captured google earth using "Fraps". Most folks use it to capture pc-gaming video. It was at the "cathedral" dive site but we were only on the island for a day, so we didnt get to know the groupers name.

[welshboymark]

Great video, how did get the google earth film at the beginning it looks great.Love the grouper (is it Felix at The Cathedral?)
